Zeroing the Bren

I can't resist a shameless plug. I have perfect reprint Infantry Training Pams available on the Bren and it's all there. Both British Mk1, Canadian Mk.II and L4!! Cheap too. I have to reference these books frequently when zeroing these and other weapons because I'm suffering badly from information overload!! Put one on the book shelf and you might be happy you did someday. When they're gone they're gone. I won't be printing any more.

Is it definitely for a Bren or could it be Steyr or similar?

on the 6th of the 6th in 1966 Australia went metric* and so the gov to show they were ahead of the times republished everything with the new fancy metric measurements

* really took until 1971 before the transformation was complete but it started on that Monday the 6th with all currency changing that day.

Jim,

I always shake my head that folks won't buy them considering they are fit cheap. I supply one with rifles when purchased here and keep them handy for reference at all times. They go into great depth on zeroing and maintenance as well as everything else. Ho hum.

If I needed one...

My thought would be that everyone who looks at this Bren forum needs one, or two copies of each. One to look pretty on the bookshelf and the other to get dirty on the bench and range!

That nice young Mr.Laidler, told me he has a box of shameless Plugs under his Bench!......Lol ;)

And buzzing with all this knew-found knowledge, this is what I was able to achieve during my zeroing session at 100 yards. Ammo is PPU 174gr factory, weapon (Bren MKIII 1956) was fired prone with sandbags stabilizing bipod. Sight set at 200 yds. No wind. Clear and bright conditions. (Eagle eyes will note, apropos a previous post of mine in which I had an uncommanded full-auto event, that the gas regulator is now happily set at the second from smallest position.)

Very nice...wish I'd been there...
