Thanks for posting.. Very interesting video. Have you ever fired one of these on the range? Also very cool that it came off the wall of a club I often visit when at Bisley…
I'm trying to put together a 1:6 scale homage to the LRDG & SAS but getting the models for the vehicles and weapons at that scale is like rocking horse shit. So I'm now thinking of 3D printing, but that requires blueprints/diagrams to pull the sizes off. Of course no mechanism details just enough to make a good facsimile. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
Some of the drawings by John Lambert would be sufficient for you. There are several 3D print models already available as well. We've used a few of them to test accuracy etc.
I have a soft spot for the VGO.
we all do!

Something COVID got in the way of but we’ll reschedule it for this year and get some filming done!
Does anyone know if the cutaway muzzle cones are a rudimentary form of compensator?
Yes, they helped control rise of the gun and balance during firing.
@@vickersmg thanks. I had always thought that must be the reason for the unusual design.
Are you going to mount it on a Pink Panther?
Maybe a Series 1! vickersmg.blog/in-use/british-service/the-british-army/special-air-service/
