Mighty-Limes New Build

[forti-cinis]

I stuck at home after ankle surgery building a bren, of course

But this one is different, I'm trying to build the most accurate CAD model I can of a complete Bren. The Receiver is done using the drawings that most people know about and my 43 receiver.

I'm looking to see if anyone has any drawings beyond the what you usually find for Brens, including any further receiver drawings. I'd like to make this as accurate as possible and may be even reproduce/emulate some of the drawings that are nasty or gone.

Looks good mate. Unless my eyes are shot, the numbers on your dial sight are backward as if they were numbered on the inside of the ring. The number 2 etc should be reversed but the late teen numbers should appear the correct way around......or it may just be me.

Yeah, that's wire frame models for you. Now you've mentioned that, I can't see it the right way around. It's like those magic eye things you have to wait for your brain to flip the thing over in your head.

I added a commando grip, just because

I made this for all you Bren builders, and would-be Bren builders

Then....3D printing?

[forti-cinis]

naturally, only should I print one at 70% scale and make it a .22?

[Ovidio]

Would be a great eye catcher. Would be full scale be more trouble?
