Some Bren guns were cut up with a passion of them never firing a shot ever again. It takes time to reverse the process. Not a lot of L4's around in firing condition full or semi. I did manage to get enough L4 mags to fill a mag case.

Just a beat up 303 mag case I will have to fix and modify.
I bid on one listed in the UK but got sniped at the end of the auction since I could not watch it.

The addition of the cocking handle stop block on the Mk2 guns was a standard Base workshop and FTR work-over. There were two methods to retain it. The dovetail with braze of two horizontal pins through the block and into the body and braze.
The two pin method was the better option as I recall.
You are doing a fantastic job too.
The L4 gun mag boxes were initially simply converted Bren mag boxes with a wood batten 1"(?) thick and the width of the raised part that runs along the top of the box. It was screwed in from outside the box, through the recess and into the wood batten. Painted to suit and a strip of horsehair felt glued to it.
Later boxes were new-made. Similar. but approx 1" shallower to accommodate the L4 type magazines

Whomever that did the cocking handle re-work did an excellent job.
I enjoy seeing craftmanship and things done correctly.
