Need a Pic (help requested please!)

Can I beg a favour?

Can some lucky person who owns both a Bren and an SKS take a photograph of them together for me, side by side, profile view?

Many thanks,

NavyShooter

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Sorry partner....

I don't have either, or I'd snap you a bunch of pics....

Sounds like an interesting project

Keep us posted if it comes to fruition...

I don't have both on hand, but I was at a shop earlier today that had a ZB26 and an SKS on hand, alas I had no camera.

As you likely know, the Bren is nearly identical to a ZB26, and both are substantially larger than any SKS.

Did you get the pics you need?

**NavyShooter** · 08-17-2008 04:47 PM

Nope....no joy yet.

The idea I've got is to investigate the possibility of flipping an SKS upside down and building a BREN up around it.

Am I crazy?

I think you are nuts. Virtually zero similarity IMHO.

That's what I figured you had in mind. I think it's do-able, as the shapes would be similar with the SKS inverted. You could always use a cable for the trigger linkage.

I'll take some pics tonight. Hope an 8mm Bren is okay?

PM me the email address.

Here's a few side-by-side and some assorted Bren pics.

Many thanks....now to do some photoshopping!
