Current pricing for a semi auto BREN ?

[tr63]

Thank you for your reply . Yes it is a Wiselite MkII . It came with 2 barrels . they will not change out was they should . They need way too much persuasion if you know what I mean .I striped the receiver and cleaned it and could not find any thing in the barrel nut area that looked like it was causing the hard fit . I made up a polishing rod covered with 0000 steel wool and cleaned the area in front of the breach bolt . The barrel nut works very easy and seems to fit in the receiver with no slop .

I assume from this that you now own it. if so congratulations.
dont worry to much about swapping barrels. I have had the same barrel in mine for a few years and I dont think I will ever wear it out. I take it out for cleaning and to make it easier to transport. two ways to have a happy bren (1) find the ammo it likes and feed it well (2) work up a load that it likes and enjoy.
There are a few adjustments that can be done to the bren to make it happy the biggest one is getting the ammo sorted out.

for a sticky barrel clean the parallel section that goes in the receiver and coat the area with white board marker of your choice. with out the barrel nut insert the barrel as far as it will go with out forcing it and remove and look to see where the marker is missing/rubbed off. that is the area you will need to polish/remove some metal from either the barrel or receiver. repeat until barrel fits firmly
