Bren semi auto build - USA

[Peter Laidler]

We have a saying here that '.......you could spoil the ship for a hap'worth of tar'. Why not just ask the welder in post#5 to weld it. It's clear that he has the know-how plus the jigs, fixtures and fittings that he's used successfully before. I'm sure that he's your man..........

that would be easy with out the rules, regulations, licences and the cost
for what you will pay to have it welded you could almost buy 3 more kits
I have welded a few and its not that hard but then they (other builders) say that the bren is the hardest kit to build
When I say its not that hard understand that I have years of welding experience. this is not something to learn to weld on.
Just remember to do all your semi auto modifications before you do any welding together of the receiver pieces...
thats cut the carrier rails, weld up the corresponding track in the receiver, weld the selector stop on the lower, weld the denial pins into the center section, cut the bolt and cut the piston post thats not all, there is more. decide what version you are going to copy and modify your lower acordingly. have fun and good luck
