Thanks for those answers chaps. I did speak to Brian but thought the answer was interesting enough to warrant putting on the forum.

Can anyone else thow any other spanners into the works......... Bren Guns...., they are just such enigmatic machines.

As yet another aside, Dan Shea and Robert Segal from SAR have my Bren Gun Book up and ready for a final preview in August and they hope, ready in September. It's a MONSTER tome and has truly made them earn their keep in producing it.
