    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

    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.

    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?

    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.

    I think you are nuts. Virtually zero similarity IMHO.
