Bren Mk 2 Recoil Spring Issues

[Joe H]

I don't think he is using the real Bren spring/springs Joe H as they rarely give trouble or compress with age. But.....

* The broken piston post spring became a 'user' maintenance item and as such a spare was always in the spare parts tin.

Not a lot of people know that!

Peter,

Definitely not original Bren springs. Maybe they were wound using the wrong grade of wire.

Very interesting info. I wondered why a heavy spring like the piston post spring would be in the spare parts tin for user replacement.
