What does the D mean?

[mickyboy]

Hello guys , new member here.

Been reading your forum for a few days now and found it extremely informative.

Ive just recently started getting into war memorabilia stuff, started out with bayonets etc. But yesterday my wife bought me a Mk II 1942 D Bren gun. Which I absolutely love.

One question guys , What does the D stand for above the 1942 date?

cheers

Thanks Peter.

How about some pics of said D gun?

I think Mickey might be another one of the many transient Bren questioners that come onto the site........

one of the many transient Bren questioners

I don't follow...like the questions about the #1 Mk3 we went through?

[Peter Laidler]

Not quite BAR. The Bren forum is notorious in my eyes/opinion for UK dewat Bren owners who come on board, ask one or two questions, get the answer which then elicits a question from our side and............... Not a peep ever again................ This Bren thread is littered with them - together with my barbed comments later. Here today, gone tomorrow without even a bye-your-leave

I'll stick around Peter...I only had one Bren but it was a Mk1...so long ago I can hardly remember.

Well, Peter, not everyone is afflicted with the disease to the same degree.

I do also note too that until this 'D' question popped up here......said forum was in a near month long state of silence. Primed the pump so to speak.....

Now, I do have a serious question about these Daimler-made guns (receivers); who here besides me has a still-functional machine gun with a Daimler-made receiver? I'm asking because it relates to something I am curious about that only matters to still original, uncut, receivers. Anyone who has one too I'd like to talk with you.

TACTADV - where are you at? I'm in Colo Spgs.
I've got a running Mk I, Paper work says it's a BSAF. It's burried so deep in the safe I don't feel like digging it out.
Do you have anything else besides the Bren? I've got several including a couple of Stens.
We should get together some time and "Exercise" out gunz.
