Hi, new Bren owner

[Jon.himself]

Hi everyone,
Just picked up my first deactivated piece of history, an Enfield 1943 MK1 Bren BB1604 which I am totally over the moon with
Always loved the Bren and been pondering whether to take the plunge for years and finally did it this time.

What impresses me so much is the design and ease of use, compared to say the SA80 / LSW I used in the Infantry TA. Also being an engineer as well, it's a work of art in that respect.

I've just bought a replacement foresight guard and looking to give it a good clean up, I'm also really interested in the history of the weapon / men who used it I've already got a few books but looking to expand my knowledge - so any help / advice is welcome.
