Hi Peter! Well personal mysteries aside, I’d still very much like to obtain the original drawing, if possible.

Okay, I'm finally sick of trying to "restore" all the cracked/busted/dinged original wooden handles on all these barrels.
Which one of you fine Gentlemen has the original Drawing for just the...
…..don’t laugh at this.
Warren, why don’t you pull apart a DP28/DPM pan magazine and take dummy/follower rounds out and slightly modify the rims.
The dummy rounds are already strung together as...
…..Hmmm, exactly what I wrote above. Word. For. Word. Hmmm…..

The guy on EBay who has the repop canvas bags now has restocked-

You have to use the special, secret language with Christian......he's old and crusty. ;-))
Something getting harder and harder to find anymore.
As-shipped mag box set, untouched from the War. Kind of cool.......
.....annnnnnnnnd, look below!! ;-))
Okay, folks, looks my incessant pestering of ole Christian Cranmer lit a fire under them.
There are a few more grade 2 brass collector bags available now.

Couple quick videos of my factory original Daimler MkII using the .308 conversion of SA Denel 7.62 BBL & extractor, and ZB39 mags for feeding. These were new mags and not completely tweaked yet.
...
IMA is probably going to be your best bet at this point. They had a large quantity of the complete catcher bags from a bulk depot purchase, and many, many of them were damaged/bent in one or more...
Yes. Listen to THIS.
“Parkerizing” is nothing more than phosphoric acid etching of the metal surface. As it is intended to do it causes microscopic pitting of the smooth surface. Among other...
Then Bob had better have access to extra magazines and have plans for new barrels.
Okay, this REALLY intrigues me. I’m fairly well versed on many things BREn, history-wise, and PARTICULARLY things regarding the industrial manufacturing aspect of the design.
Coincidentally I’m...
Not at all. I buy from SARCO all the time, it’s just that I’ve known Cholly Steen for decades and therefore I buy with my eyes open. They don’t try and hide that many items are reproductions, but...
Here, let me correct that for you. “Sarco, a reliable producer of low end repros, knock offs, and copies, all from India.”
Cholly Steen never let putting an extra dollar in his pocket get in the...
Okay.....I should’ve been more explanatory.
Both of you bring up good points.
I’m not interested in actually using the FAL style mags , as I said I have perfectly functional .308 set-up using...
Okay, this may seem stupid but I’ve never used the “FAL” mags in my Bren MkII.
I primarily shoot .308 in my factory original ‘42 Daimler-Monotype MkII using the SA Denel 7.62mm barrel fed from...
Any chance it’s for a mortar tube??
All of the Star Wars guns, from 1975 onward, were made up from stocks of original guns held by Bapty’s, in Southall, UK.
Long ago, during the filming of the original first couple of movies, a LOT...
Agreed! Since we’re talking about setting up a combination of non-standard parts only to be able to shoot .308/7.62 NATO ammo I seriously question why any discussion is taking place about modifying...
I did not have to modify the ZB39 mags at all to use. That said, I again note that as mentioned before my gun is a factory original ‘42 Daimler-built original, unaltered as-issued machine gun.
The...
All joking aside, my 13yr old son.....with quite a bit of solid BREN MG time under his belt already, is truly messed up. He shoots “Right”, but is left-eye dominant, so he takes a truly bizarre...
Didn’t the military have a rather quick solution for people who thought they were lefty shooters? ;-)
