    Locking Shoulder question

    At the risk of sounding a complete moron, what is the reason for the different sizes of locking shoulders and how do you know which size you need for a particular Bren?

    Cheers!

    It has to do with the headspace. If it's too large you have separated cases. If too tight it won't close. You will need headspace gauges to determine the correct shoulder.
