I know MK III models were converted to 7.62, but can MK I models be converted also?
The simple answer is that they CAN be, but why bother........
There were MAJOR problems with converting Mk1's
.308/7.62 is a moe economical choice for eeloading given component availability and factory loads.
Maybe, but you WONT get a MK.I drum sight calibrated for 7.62mm! Why not convert a MKII? It has been done, obviously! But if you are aware of the pitfalls in converting ANY of the Bren series. You may wish to rethink your potential idea?Quote:
