My Bren (DEWAT)

[stencollector]

and you aim how with the mag in the way?

For the 30 round mag the sights are offset to the left of the gun. If using the 100 round drum, the mount for the gun usually had an AA sight incorporated into it.

this is a good idea, they do not seem to be on the prohib list by name, and mags are still pretty easy to get, someone send norinco a set of drawings!

Norc already has the Bren secret. Chinese army used 8mm Bren in WW2 & under Mao.

Almost makes me think that pic was taken in Crete?

France 1944. German paras trained on enemy weapons, just like ours did.

It is a mk1 upper back with a mk2 upper front. The lower is a later mk1, although the buttstock is a mk2 (which was a post war replacement as mk1 parts became unobtainable). The bipod is also a mk2.

The 4 digit number on the upper is likely a transfer of the lower number. The DP21 would have been the uppers serial number.

Even with the mixmaster of parts, they are still a beautiful thing.

You need to hit the bandsaw and trade some parts with me. I suffer from a Mark II upper rear and Mark I upper front!
