It's arrived!

I'm excited.... :dancingbanana:

My 1942 Inglis Bren has arrived after its long trip, complete with bren transit chest and original paperwork going back to the early 1950's. :thup:

It's sitting in garage and needs to be unpacked and a detail photo montage done. I'll post the pics when I get that finished...

When I was a young trooper back in the early 60's, I trained on first the Sten SMG and Bren Gun, before they switched us over to the Sterling SMG and FNC2.

I loved the old Bren and most of the guys I trained with preferred it over the FNC2, hating to see it retired....

I guess I'll have lots of questions for you Bren experts here once I start pawing over it.

Regards,
Doug

Looks very nice. Is it unaltered, a semi-auto conversion or deact?

Being in Canada.... :(

It's a deact, but a very old job with one small weld. I'm told by previous owner that it's cock-n-click.

Haven't opened it yet, but maybe this weekend I'll have time ... :cheers:

Is it a British deact? I've seen a lot of Brit deacs in Canada.

I wasn't sure if you were licensed for prohibs. I imagine the list of prohib card carriers is getting smaller every year. If you need a fix, come on down here and you can have a go with the Inglis Mk.II and L4A3. The L4 stays dirty, lol!! You didn't hear that Peter!

I have a D/A Inglis MkIM Brengun in my collection. Also made in 1942. Yours looks to be original. A nice find indeed! Well done.

Kind regards, Lester

I always used to savour the moment firing a Bren, and the Vickers of course. There's just something very reassuring about firing a Bren

That's why the L4 stays dirty Peter! I like the Vickers too but.......
