Another BREN-fan (introduction)

[erik3D]

Here's a 2D drawing of a fully compressed Bren recoil buffer.
The receiver (or body) is also in its rearmost position.
(the section plane is in the centre of the buffer, not in the centre of the boltcarrier, they are offset to each other)
It appears the bolt (or breech block) is stopped by the lower receiver itself, not by the buffer.

Cheers!
