I SOOOO WANT ONE! (Semi Bren thread)

Personally I'd prefer a Canadian-made semi receiver, as well as a properly "modified" parts kit, or at least a decent repro and screw the U.S. paperwork, but the thing would need to stay below 1K, shipped, to have any hope of being sold in any kind of numbers on this side of the border, still would be most likely well below 1000 units sold overall. Another, more likely option would be a set of drawings, the correct paperwork/procedures for home builds are pretty well understood by now, so that's not a major concern, and that would take the cost WAY down. Now as far as being bubba and not woth the steel it's made of, well , since it's neither a DEWAT or a 12(2) or 12(3) paperweight (that's all these are until the SAP stuff gets sorted out), i'd say all things being relative, since this one would actually be in firing condition AND non-restricted, i'd say it would command a premium at resale over ANY original with all but the most "selective" collectors.
 
Rob - I think constructing a bren receiver at home and heat treating it will be well beyond the capabilities of 99.9% of the people who might like to have one.

If the 12(x) thing is ever sorted, not all of us are as lucky as you are. Thus, we need to pin our hopes to these new receivers. Why is that so hard to understand?

I stated a personal opinion that I'd rather shoot something I own. Never said I didn't understand anything. If you actually read my sentence you'll see I don't make a distinction between CA's and new receivers, they're effectively the same thing. Therefore CA's should (in a rational world) be no more regulated than a new receiver, like they were originally.

Because it burns my ass that 2 identical guns are at opposite ends of the spectrum. My '34 is somehow the antichrist yet the other guys Marstar '34 is used for hunting????

I mean WHAT THE FUNK??....My gun is WELDED back together...I dont even know whats going on in the trigger group.
 
me too!! I'm afraid to even look at the trigger groups of any of my Ca's and what burns my ass is I bought a C2A1 in December after waiting and bugging the ex- owner for 18years and costing me alot of zeros the damn thing sit in the safe .I've used just about every other CA I own but was really looking forward to useing the C2 at Winona if ever we get this sap bull#### changed i'm going to have a personal blastfest
 
So do all CA's haveto have the trigger groups welded to the point they can;t be repaired or maintained? That makes no sense...??? :?
 
they must be modified so you cannot easily make them full auto if they need to get worked on they are supposed to get fixed then welded back to the gun both my Mg34 and 42 have the grip pins welded to the frame my bren have the lower hook a trigger sear ground off but some brens also have a pin welded to the receiver so the selector can't rotate to the auto position sten guns are done in very many ways the selector is always welded in the semi mode but some have other work done to them my 1919A4 has a complete semi-auto trigger group the vickers has a couple parts added and so on

Actually, we need to pin our hopes on the CPC winning the next election and then putting the screws to them to change the law!
 
CPC has never stated doing anything but getting rid of the registry. Nothing else is on there agenda and there is no promise that they will even do what they say.

Better blue than red though IMHO. We know the red agenda - blue can't be much worse!

Except most of these #### gun laws we have now came from the last blue party and registration was that parties idea.

Methinks the current Reform/Canadian Alliance/CPC group bears almost NO resemblance to the old Progressive Conservative Party which was almost as liberal as the Liberals. :roll:

Or as I like ot phrase it - a Blue party made up entirely of Belinda Stronachs :evil:
