Get on the fifty!

I've had this on the burner for a while, got her today. Historic Arms does some wonderful work. The gun/build wasn't cheap but the mags are Big Grin I wish I could find a Mk3 barrel but the Mk2 will do for now. The Mk3s used both but the shorty barrel would be cool. Gun runs smooth as buttah.

Wow.

That would look sweet on my coffee table.

Very very nice!!!! I wanted to build one and had the kit but, couldn’t swing it after building a 1919 and buying an Ohio Ordnance BAR.

Good job and enjoy.

I can't say enough good things about the build they did. I own several LMG semi conversions and this Bren is hands down the smoothest running no BS semi conversion I own. It's the most "practical" out of all of them as well. I'm about to order some more German surplus 303 thats available currently.... going to be shooting this a lot.

Anyone thinking of having one built someday...IMA has NOS barrels for a little over a 100 bucks. Cases of 12 mags can be had for $65-70 if you look around.

We can do better in the thread title than just listing the name of a weapon. Please be more specific as to why you posted the thread.

Huh????

The title said everything I needed to make my look and enjoy! It could have just said "Bren" and I'd have wanted to look, LOL


Remember, this is all supposed to be for fun...................

Len Savage is the acknowledged BREN master. He got my Canadian Inglis Full Auto MkII to run like a top.
