There's been a fair bit written about this sight on this site. It was designed for when the Bren was going to be all things to all men. Light machine gun, medium machine gun, AA machine gun. OHF machine gun, SF machine gun and............... Alas it was really only good as one machine gun, which is what it was. Light! And as a Light Machine gun it exceeded all expectations but only after an almost disastrous start

Sure is a rare item on the collecting circuit!

It made £1,551 on 'That' Auction site!.....

I can't even start to imagine what they were thinking about.......... The 30 round mag fed Bren in the SF/overhead fire role?

Using a .303 to tease an ME109 with cannon...that could pound you at a mile away... Not sure about the sanity. I'd sure like to run the twin Brens from one of the AA mounts though. Going prone hurts my neck now...

I ready to part with my Plessey Line sight. Any thoughts on the market as of today?

Although the sight may have gone for an eye watering amount of money at least the £5 postage is very affordable.
