The Maple Leaf Models C6 MG is a good piece of resin. Does anyone know if the same mount is used on other Leo 1s that have a FN MAG?

Thanks,
Paul

Ah we meet again...

The Netherlands, when they used the Leopard 1-V used the FN MAG 58 on the AA mount. From the photos that I have seen, it is the same early style mount that Maple Leaf Models produces....and of course the Netherlands sold Chile 202 Leopard 1-Vs in the late 1990s.

The photos I have seen of the Chilean Leopards also have the FN MAG 58 mounted but they have also adapted the mount to fit a spotlight in front of the ammo box cradle.

Very cool tan and brown camouflage used on the Chilean Leopards too.

Chile has also fitted the PZB 200 with protective cage on the right side of the mantlet.
