Thanks! I have found two conversions with easy to follow walkthroughs, a hammer fired, and a striker fired. The hammer fired looks easier. The rifling looks worse in person, running a pick across...

Sorry for the Cell phone pics, I need to go buy a real camera sometime...

I found a serial on the bottom of the frame, and cleaned up the stamp on the stock sayes "Polisi Indonesia" for the...

Its one of the kits that comes missing the center piece, the POL mark is on the part the barrel screws into. I wish I had the serial. It has the quick detatch stock with...

I recently purchased a demilled Thompson at the gun show last week, I'm trying to figure out roughly when/where/what it was used for. First it is marked POL on the nose piece, im wondering if it is...

Thanks! that looks like the hardest part to complete. I got lucky on my kit, they missed the actual socket and cut just behind it.

Well, I have the lower semi mod complete, the upper rails welded, the blocking pin for the bolt on the right side, the left side cut is right where I am placing the pin and will be added after tack...

If you start to burn through the copper it will stick, you can try going with thicker copper or let it cool a bit between passes. I am alternating opposite sides and going slow to try and minimize...

I took my CMP M1 Garand hunting on the last day of the season last year. Shot an antler-less buck (in TN counts as one of your daily limit of 3 does). I hunt for food, decorations are an...

I tend to ramble a bit, I started keeping a binder with all of my notes, pics and ideas. I will post the contents in a roughly chronological order when complete. It definitely wont be bestseller...

Not much progress on the bren, but I did complete the semi 1919a4, now building a tripod. I want to find a safe place to test it, so haven't fired it yet. I also purchased a semi-Madsen LMG, and had...

Pics of bren jig, I probably should have measured more, the parts fit tight but the rails are a bit narrow. I have to modify it to complete the front weld. These are from before adding the denial...

I finally broke down and purchased a Harbor freight mini mill after breaking a few of the milling bits, as soon as the mill comes in, and I get it set up I should be able to finish the jig in one...

I have been getting pretty good with my welder, I am making a jig to line up the receiver sections for welding. The jig will be a block of aluminum milled to fit inside the bren receiver with copper...

Ignore the previous post, all of the parts are required for this version, the big spring replaces the existing bolt carrier spring in the stock, the small spring, plunger, tube are used as the hammer...

This is the part that seems a bit confusing, these are my assumptions of how this works. if anybody comes across actual instructions for installation please post here.
Not all of the parts shown...

Projectguns does not work on kits with the cuts done to my receiver, it will require additional machining after welding.

After talking with a formerly licensed firearms manufacturer about the...

I hate to say it, but I think I bought the last semi auto parts kit from MGS. They removed it from their online store just after I bought it. After several hours of grinding slag, everything "fits"....

I just found that site while googling bren kits, it was that site that has inspired me to try this project. He does make it look easier than it probably is.

You are probably referring to: Bren
Also found limited blueprints on Bren blueprints...

Thanks!
The ATF website has a form: ATF F 5320.1 (Form 1) — Application to make and Register a Firearm. That caused the confusion, apparently it is legal to make a firearm and not register it. I...

I recently purchased an MGS WWII Bren 1 Parts Kit as a project My dad and I could work on. I have most of the mechanical questions worked out, but before I begin any of the welding on the demilled...

Hi, I'm a new member from TN. I have just started collecting, started with an Tula Mosin Nagant and a Nagant revolver, did a restoration on a Chinese sks just to see if I could. Bought a great M1...
