I have a tripod ?

[Kev G]

OK ,I have sorted my tripod bits out.



Putting aside the parts I need to make up the 3 tripods frames I have some of the bits you need.I have a spare tripod head and the keyed flat locking washer.I do not have a spare spring washer (which should not be to much of a problem) or the set screw which you would have to make.I can give you sizes and drawings/pics for this if this will help ?



Have plenty of new T&E's ,traverse stops (MKI and 2) and quadrants though

Alan, Till you can source a Pair of Legs. Why not use an SMLE Rifle in thier place?
The MKI AA Variant has a slot cut into the front Pivot Block on the Tripod. This 'Slot' is identical to the Bayonet Lug Profile on this Rifle.
It was designed deliberately for this purpose to be used in an Emergency Or if the AA Legs got damaged.

As an aside, it looks good Too!

Hi Tankhunter thanks for the reply. when I got my Mk1 tripod someone had removed the bracket of the AA mount on the front leg and the spring loaded keeper for the bayonet lug was missing, Kev put me on to Apex who had the front leg comlete with bracket and I built the spring loaded keeper for the bayonet lug. I used a transfer centerpunch to make it out of as it was the perfect diameter. I do know about using the SMLE for the front leg but am just trying to complete the tripod. I think that the SMLE lookes neater as well . I have 2 Brens a Mk1m and a Mk11 both Inglises Mine are both the IO 3 cut type. I bought a heliark welder and am in the midst of welding the first one up, it is a slow go as my lovely wife decided that we should do an extensive remodle job on the house this summer. I am building them as semi automatics to meet BATF spesificatins, as a stretch in cub fed is not how I want to spend the rest of my retirment. I have 2 transit crates the short and regular, a crate of magazines, a tool wallet, I have ordered a bren tin and oil can and am trying to find all the rest of the bits and bobs so I can have a nice display at the collecters club which I belong to. I have been an enfield collector for some time and have about 80 of them, which includes 2 No4 Mk1 snipers with all the bits and bob and a Lithgow No3 Mk1HT also a Patern 14 sniper without scope. I am new to Brens and appreciate all the knoledgable people on this site who have helped me. Alan Abramson H

Very nice Alan. You will have to have a word with your Wife though.
She has got her Priorities wrong here, Weapons come First! NOT The House!

Goodday!

I've got a Tripod that's slowly making it's way to the East coast, and will hopefully meet me there when I get home from this deployment in September....but it's missing the stops.

What would it cost for the stops, and do you have enough to sell what I'd be needing?

Thanks!
