Bren at War

[AmEngRifles]

Thanks Paul. That makes great sense. I did not realize weapons oil might solidify as well?? We only touched on a few degrees below freezing, but man, the grease in the gun slowed up the action significantly. Had to remove all grease and just oil the gun to get it to feed. The grease was in there as it was brand new from the maker and he greased it for the break in. Nobody mentioned not to try “ breaking it in” during sub freezing weather. 😉

Sorry. Should have replied privately I suppose? Don’t mean to start thread drift. I love all these historical images of the Bren in various theaters.

Did paratroopers go in with Brens? Any pictures of Troop’s kitted up for jumps?
