    From a UKicon point of view, if we can have L1A1s as straight pulls, we surely could have a Straight pull Bren with a lined barrel or new made barrel with no gas vent. That would be another small potential market. Obviously there would need to be other modifications to gas parts etc. But it's another possibility.

    Strange you mention it BP, one lad at my local club mentioned it last week...... After one lad had bought a Deac Bren.

    With the EU directive around the corner, I'm wating to see what they will do regarding our semi Auto .22's plus other things on the hit list, lets hope common sense prevails, but as its EU I doubt it very much......
