BREN MKII LMG

[Combat Diver]

Had this brought into the shop today for an inspection here in Astan. RSAF (Enfield) BREN Mk II in .303 made in 1942. Just missing the buttplate and is broken down sitting in the solvent tank at the moment. Hopefully will test fire tomorrow with some 1942 dated MkVII ammo and will post video if I do. The BREN gun is a British version of the Czech vz26 light machine gun. Gun is capable of semi/full auto firing and has a 4 position gas regulator. Normal cyclic rate is about 500 rpm using a 30 rd magazine. Post WWII models were in 7.62mm and used FAL mags.

Cleaned and disassembled.

Very cool.
Those are some nice gun.
I was going to rebuild a cut up a few years back but did some 1919a4's.
Get some pictures when you shoot it.

 

[Combat Diver]

Will post a video of shooting it.
