Bren transit chest plans?

[Peter Laidler]

Tankie, the standard .303" Bren chest was the same as the 7.62mm L4 variant. Or am I missing something? I seem to remember that the difference - although it made no difference to the chest, was that all the L4 magazines came in the mag box instead of the extra one stuck in the gun chest. Or am I missing something.

Lester and others..... The overhung butt plate for the Mk2 was the Armourers worst enemy. Just put the gun down butt first anything past gently and the overhang will chip the top of the butt meaning that it had to be patched. Then it'd happen again, this time it'd take the screw and thread with it. So we didn't undercut the butt plates into the wood but left the butt plate proud where it overhangs at the top of the butt. But the screw is still prone to damage. So you just binned the overhung, useless butt plate and fitted the later flat ones or just took the guns up to Mk3 spec with Mk3 gun butt plates and short barrels.

I forgot to ask but is there a shortage of Mk2 Inglis guns on the deactivation market? Anyone any comments?
