Bren L4 / .308 build

[cal50]

The one I am working on and others like it was cut hard and never intended to fire again. I think they hit 99% of their target and not many are restored to firing condition.

Its a hobby for me and don't keep track of the hours but do what it takes to make it right.

I am now making tooling to cut the barrel nut face.
Welding shrink makes inserting the barrel nut impossible.
I could take it off the front of the nut but I want the barrel socket face and front barrel nut bearing area parallel.

Tooling will pilot off the barrel socket then ride on it cutting the front barrel nut area driven by a socket extension from the rear.

Its the final thing to do on this section then I can weld on the front gas cylinder section.
