Bren semi auto build - USA

[Midmichigun]

Weaponeer is a good site... and I post there under the same screen name as here.

I also broke down a number of years ago and purchased the Mill/ Drill from Harbor Freight. It works fine for most milling operations. You just need to go slow, and keep that ROUND column tight. I suspect that you didn't get my model however, if you call in a mini mill. Just remember if you got the model I suspect, go real slow.

I also have added DRO's as $$ has allowed. These are battery operated gizmos, that have improved my accuracy, if not my machining skillls! LOL!

I look forward to your updates on both forums!

My SA kits slumbers yet in its box. As previously mentioned, I would like to go out and do the build as a .308, but did miss a group buy through one of the forums on a run of .303 to .308 barrel conversions (and barrel length and Flash Hider could be altered I believe).

Pics of bren jig, I probably should have measured more, the parts fit tight but the rails are a bit narrow. I have to modify it to complete the front weld. These are from before adding the denial pins, I had to add an additional short channel to clear those.

At this point I have all of the denial welds and pins completed, I have welded the back three sections and dressed up only the back weld. I am waiting for some better mill bits to clean the inside to make sure everything fits where its supposed to.
