One of the elder statesmen over at gunboards is looking at making his Bren cheaper to use for trimming the cactus outside his front gate. In answering another poster's Bren Q, he added his problem to do with making the Chinese 7.62X39 kit cycle....

"Yes there are 4 positions, but the No2 position is reccomended. Only when the gun gets really dirty do you go to three and four. But then we are not shooting ours in a war, so we can clean them regularly.
However I am still trying to make mine work with 7.62x39. Have the chinese barrel, gas regulator and other bits to make the AK mags fit I do have spare return springs and may eventualy try shortening one. The gun will load and fire but not keep going. However it still works fine with .303

Oh by the way the gun DOES NOT ruin brass."

Any thoughts?
