Folks,

Does anyone know of a manufacturer who makes a boyes rifle figure in firing mode?

Captain Boys lifts a worm-eaten fist from the grave and shakes it at you.

HäT seems to be coming out with a one in the future:

How many do you need?

About 10 or so

Yikes…. I'll not bother checking my bits box then. Figures Armour Artillery do a nice one, but they're in a pack of moving and firing teams. Might be worth trying Raventhorpe for a single figure, although they're on the large side.

Dom,

I'll stand fast until the HAT machine gun set comes out. The other figs in there will be useful too.

Presumably with the HäT MG box you will only get 1 ATR per sprue, and 4 sprues in a box, so you will need to buy 2-3 boxes to get the necessary number of ATRs. Will give you quite a plenty of the other weapons.

They are also working on a mortar set (with 3" and 2" mortar plus around 8 crew per sprue).

Boys not Boyes.

FAA make a nice Boys ATR.

If you need that many though, why not just convert some prone Bren gunners? Easy enough to chop off the mag and replace the barrel with a longer piece of wire.

Boys not Boyes.

How about one for grown men?

Separate the men from the boyes.

Try Reiver from Under the Bed Enterprises. They make A Boys ATR; 2"; and 3" mortar; and Piat. If you're in N. America try to get them from Five Arrows Figures.
