I've just come into a complete chest of Bren Mk I 100 round drums complete with everything including bracket, loading/tensioning bar & winder. On examination it appears that the 3 dummy/follower rounds are missing from the drums. Any idea how hard it would be to make up some dummy rounds and install them?
I haven't pulled them apart yet, but am planning on doing so this week.
Thanks for any info or help

The rounds are not the problem....the links are.
I have made them for Bren drums using drill rounds and modified .303 Browning aircraft disintegrating links .
I cannot remember all the problems I had but there were a few along the way as I recall.
Apparently the rounds were a hot item for the cartridge collectors, but I cannot see the links and rounds missing in all 4 drums. Maybe they are just caught up inside.
I will check a few of my drums later today or tomorrow.
If you cannot find the links let me know as I know I still have some around "THE SHED" (tm) somewhere.

Any chance you might remember where they are and could I convince you to part with some ???
If they are truly .303 Browning links, I have about 100 here and would send you some...if that's what you need. PM me once you find out...Quote:

I’m in California for shipping purposes
