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 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.

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.

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