I've been following this thread on the forum about a approved UKicon Spec straight pull L1A1 SLR.

L1A1 Single Shot spec?? Any ideas?

From what I can gather, the TMH and Bodies are original matched items fitted to new barrels and have modified bolts and carriers.

My question is, why can't this be done to a Bren? I know the barrel being readily removable may have a bearing but as far as I was aware, once a section 5 always a section 5.

From what i've read on the L1A1 thread, it sounds like it could be possible to use the Bren body (possibly modified by blocking the piston bore) and lower, combined with a new barrel, less gas hole and a mofdified bolt and carrier (Minus gas piston).

I peronaly dont see this as possible but I never thought i'd see a L1A1 straight pull made with original parts.

Any thoughts?
