GGS retractable mounting Type2 Mk.1 8B/2860

I’m on the lookout for a GGS mounting as above. If you have one available then please get in touch.

Thanks.

I think Terry has nailed it as a type 3 Mk 3 (Vampire T11), which is what the owner had tentatively been advised. Therefore i dont think its going to suit my needs.

But thanks for the help guys.

ps.. if anyones interested its this item

Not totally 100% sure David, but yes i think it is. What type GGS was the T.11 fitted with?

Hi Rob,

Is this a sliding/retractable mount, as used on the vampire T11?
