Thanks guys however the aiming post is a specific device which I believe attaches to the machine gun for use in the sustained fire role. It is not an optical device rather a mechanical one that allows the gunner to "dial in" preset ranges and angles of attack that have been calculated in advance. this means the gunner can fire on specific areas at night or in very low visiblilty conditions (fog, smoke screen etc)
It is that device I want a quality picture of and it is proving elusive to find.

The crew of three consists of the gunner, loader and the DC (detachment commander). [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] The weapon's sight is used in conjunction with an aimingpost to allow the crew to engage targets that they cannot see, due to fog, smoke or darkness. Its relative lightweight allows the weapon and ammunition to be carried quickly into action by its three man crew.[/FONT]

Hmm I believe you are talking about the section that is used with the C2 sighting system. Google GPMPG SF or C2 sighting system and see what that comes up with.
