It's arrived!

I'm excited....

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.

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

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

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

Being in Canada icon

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 ...

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

**Brian Dick** · 11-27-2012 07:27 PM

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