Most of our 60's onwards DP Brens seemed to be Mk1's but were fitted with Mk3 gun butts and barrels so that they'd fit better into the training role. I have such a gun

I've got one of these to Peter, a '44 Mk1 with the Mk3s Mk4 butt, Mk3 bipod and a Mk4 barrel. Theres also one mentioned in the BGS and is referd to as a transitional model. I assumed it was meant to be a interim model to be used untill the Mk3 was fully introduced but thats a bit misleading.

Did a lot of these MK1 upgraded guns then later be reworked to L54 spec.I have a L54 but is still in its original MK1 configuration with crown enfield 1939.I currently don't have a transitional/upgraded MK1gun so thought it would be a good project to do one with the relevent MK3 bits with the blank firing attachment.With the L4/L55 version coming on stream were there many L54s done or were they sent back to places like donnington to be scrapped.
