54R Bren Issues

[Joe H]

Nope...... got a live gun stripped in front of me. This might be different from your semi rebuilds but in the case you illustrate Vince, it'd be the advanced feed horns causing the BB to hang up. Or they might/could foul on the protruding l/sh screw - if it does. If so, then just grind a small chamfer around the threaded end of the screw!

However, I CAN get this feed horns hang-up situation to arise but only artificially.

To make the my point in the previous post. It could be that there was a slight bump in the carrier rail slot (which it only has one of) on weld up and the builder ground the LS channel so the gun would operate.

Just conjecture to illustrate my point
