The Special Air Service adopted the weapon for their hit and run tactics, mounting it in pairs on their jeeps. Over the years, it was assumed by some that they took the phased-out VGO because they could obtain no other suitable machine guns, but with its high rate of fire and low-friction locking design. The Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) was a reconnaissance and raiding unit of the British Army during the Second World War who also made use of the gun during their raids.

WWII British Mk2 Dial Sight for 3" Mortar. O 2115. - O 2115
The Ordnance ML 3-inch mortar was the United Kingdom's standard mortar used by the British Army from the early 1930s to the late 1960s, superseding the Stokes mortar. Initially handicapped by its short range compared to similar Second World War mortars, improvements of the propellant charges enabled it to be used with great satisfaction by various armies of the British Empire and of the Commonwealth. The early 3in mortars originated were first used in WW1 and this basic design was improved during the interwar years and as a result the ML 3in was the standard medium mortar used by British and Commonwealth countries in WW2 and beyond. Improvements were made during 1942 which allowed for greater range and these were called Mk. II LR (Longer Range) and they were issued in 1943. The ML 3in was issued to mortar platoons at battalion level. In good condition *see images* Serial No; MR248A. The price includes UK delivery. O 2115.
