Big Bren Thank You!!!!!

[djandj]

Gentlemen: I want to again thank all of the members hereabouts who helped diagnose and fix my Bren. You will recall the rather lengthy thread about it. (54R issues) Converted by the builder to 54R and then ABANDONED by the builder and told to use "better ammo" to avoid explosions. (ok....)

Many of you stepped up and helped out. But I want to especially thank Vincent from TX who went above and beyond the call of duty. First he tried sending me new locking shoulders. When that didn't work, it was he who realized that the builder reamed by 54R barrel incorrectly, so he voluntarily just sent me a new barrel to test. Asking nothing in return. When that ultimately worked, he then parkerized a new barrel for me and sent it back to me. Again asking nothing for himself! When that barrel as well didn't work, he sent me back the first barrel beautifully parkerized and finished! Sure, I made sure he was not out of pocket for shipping and such, but a professional builder might have charged hundreds for the time and effort Vincent lent to the cause. I am deeply grateful for his efforts.

I take the time to post not just to thank Vincent and all of you guys, but to post my appreciation for the board and those who make it possible for non-builders like myself to not only own, but restore and maintain these guns and other historically significant guns. Without this board and the time and dedication of all of its members, I could not hope to own and operate unique and classic guns like the Bren.

What we have here is truly special! I thank you all. Happy shooting!
