Sorry, I know this is off the BREN track but does anyone know for sure what type links are used on the BESA mg? Thanks.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

BESA belts were mostly metal clips with fabric stripping. You will find them from 100 rounds and up.

Do you have a BESA Ozark? It could be your lucky day!

Hey thanks for photos, just what I needed. Tom

Can I assume that you haven't got a BESA then?

ozarkeod · 03-04-2012 07:35 PM

That is correct, I do not have a BESA.

I've still got two Peter!
Yup, I finally joined up here after lurking for a while. Some one made me a offer I couldn't refuse for the Mk II star that had been fitted with some Mk II bits so I let that go.

I've decided just to collect what we used postwar so all the Vickers Berthier LMGs have gone as well.

Welcome aboard Tom.
By the way, for others here...Tom has amassed a HUGE pile of info on the BESA and Vickers Berthier.
He also wears a red FEZ at Beltring and is easy to spot !!!! :-)##
Also, always up for a "cuppa tea".
