Very "unusual" Bren barrel handle seen on eBay

I noticed this interesting variation on the Bren barrel on eBay today.

Things must have been tough in Rhodesia that necessitated this level of improvisation?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Someone's always trying to build a better Mousetrap! :-)

Give a man a screwdriver and a hacksaw and he'll change something. Just a cobbled together new mousetrap!

Thats the extra rare wild west Africa quick draw grip for lightning fast barrel changes. Also handy when you need to quickly get your gun off the ground and get out of trouble quicker than you got into it.

Yes I remember the carry handle (then attached to the gun) when giving all the SA 7.62 Brens the once over when they were first imported and pre deactivation.I thought at the time it was a nice little touch.
Also as an aside there were 3 0r 4 ZB39's that came over with the Brens.
