    Doug told me he imported 3-4 L4A1 guns as "Pre-86 Dealer Samples" in 1985, IIRC; my understanding is that they were not in great shape when he got them and he "rebuilt-refinished" them as appropriate.

    So, no transferable Brens, just Dealer Samples.

    So what if I told you I know of a papered DLO MKII? Is it a fake?

    No clue. Just repeating what he told me. Doug is an -ODD- duck, he had lots and lots of projects that he doesn't talk about until he needs to sell something.

    But as to your question, No, I would presume it is indeed one of his creations, perhaps one that he finished at a later time??

    A simple phone call to him would clear it up.

    The Bren is on a Form 4. The transfer was approved last year. Just curious about some of the markings. How would one get in touch with him?
