They look good, Luis. Has the Bren had a cut receiver that's been welded? Are the ZB's and Bren live or deactivated; I'm guessing deactivated? Thanks for posting the pictures.

All LMG deactived..
ZB 26 AEG Airsoft Gun with original bipod and mkii carry handle.
ZB 30 Deactived without internal parts.
Bren MKI Deactived ,cut and welded without internal parts.
Only the SMLE n°4 mk II is live.

The ZB26 looks very realistic from the pictures, Luis. Sadly, in the U.K. you can no longer purchase deactivated Brens with moving internal parts; the bolts are cut and welded. It is still legal to own deactivated Brens with moving parts provided that you don't sell them or give them to anyone else.

Hi Flying!
The ZB26 need shortening of the mag to look more like an original.
Also has a bit of wheathering to look used in combat!

In a short time we will only be able to see these LMG only in museums...

I have a magazine transit box for the straight 20rnd mag, I assume for the ZB26, and it looks a bit like a scaled down British mag transit box.

Hi Flying!
Can upload a pic to see your transit box?

I would like to get all the accessories of each of these LMG, but all together can not ($$$$!!!). It is the pleasant thing about this hobby, to look for years for every piece that is missing.... and then to have the money to buy!!

Here are some pictures of the 20rnd mag tin which holds 10 magazines and is a little smaller than the standard 30rnd Bren mag tin. I don't know the country of origin of this smaller 20rnd, 10 mag tin although, as can be seen, it now has English stencilled markings. I can see no maker markings visible and although there are no other markings clearly visible there could be some other markings under the paint. This small mag tin appears to be very well made and finished to a high quality. I have included some comparison photos with a standard British .303 Bren mag tin.

You can probably source the standard .303 Bren mag tin via eBay or elsewhere at a reasonable cost. The smaller tin is much less common in the U.K. although I still managed to purchase it at a sensible price.

Thank you very much for the pics!
Amazing Tins!

Living so far away from the places where finding these pieces produces high shipping costs. I already put these pieces on my wish list on ebay. Maybe some day...

I would be interested to know the manufacturer of the small mag tin and the end user/s. It could be Czech made but this is speculation on my part. I wondered if it was captured by U.K. forces and then repainted with English I.D. stencilling but again this is speculation on my part.
