    9 round No.4's?

    First I've heard of this issue with No.4's, due to magazine issues I assume?

    Yes, I think the issue with Bren mags is well known, but this is the first time I can ever remember seeing reference to problems loading the last round into No4 mags.......

    "Owners" is a funny choice of word.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    There is a reference to it in one of the editions of Skennertonicon.
