    The actual butt slide of a Bren is not a load or pressure bearing part and you can have a box full of them so...... The laws here are just sooooooo long and convoluted with double interpretations placed on them - to suit the prosecutor of course - that to get one of what you want cleared, you'd have to........................ Have you ever heard the phrase 'pi....., er....., urinating into the wind'?

    But if some wag started from fresh, using a newly made look-a-like Bren body and barrel that was a single shot crank-and-shoot 'rifle' then it'd be looked at non too kindly and THEN refused! Just my take on things

    As it stands now There wouldn't be a problem, yep they wouldn't like it, but were never keen on the lever release by Southern gun and I don't think it was just the price they didn't like.
    As long as it complies to a Straight Pull, as BP points out regarding the L1A1.... had my doubts at first but there are plenty out there, a .22 Semi auto Bren would be the way to go but I'd hang fire till next month.......
