    They did several modifications to the Mk.2 bren to convert them to 7.62 X 39
    Interesting this has popped up as I am currently doing some photos of one but my recent accident has caused no end of problems in completing the project.
    There was also a Czechicon ZB 26 converted to 7.62 X 39 conversion done as well, and I have had the pleasure of handling both and firing one of them but that was many years ago, so I will have to scan the photos
    for the net.
    There is a decent write up in the BREN GUN SAGA, second editon, by the late Tom Dugelby.

    The first volume was a bit of a rush, as Tom was dying and they were trying to get the book out before he fell of the perch.
    Lost of info missing and lots of errors, but Blake Stevens heart was in the right spot.
    The second edition was a bit better. but again, very rushed and not complete.
    Mind you, in this game, nothing is complete and ego's enter heavily into it.
    Write a book and you have 500 critics, with "I knew this and I knew that...!!!"
    "What about this and what about that.."
    You know the routine.
