    I got to handle a museum's Bren gun

    Oh boy did I handle it.

    One of the best days I ever had at the range. I was firing 1944 WRA and 1941 DI VII they were well stored and shot well. I got contact at 300 yards on a 4 foot target stand. I should of set the sights to up one more turn.




    So very lucky to have a friend with a museum license.

    Savour the moment. But your left hand should have been holding the small of the butt OVER-hand
