    ...

    It was the finest de-milled kit I've seen, and was to have been the basis of my semi-kit. It cleaned up very well, and the wood was great. The gas cylinder wasn't chopped, and the action cycled and hammer dropped. I'm still sick.....What kits that can be had today have been burned and cut through every mounting pin and just made a mess of. With parts missing that are near to impossible to find (the bolt handle, especially) No, the good ones have dried up. I have a replacement, but is missing a few odds and ends. (see above).
    PL, were there ever any left handed shooters of the Bren? What with the offset sight, I would assume lefties would be a mortar man?
    I guess the thief stuck the Bren in his waist band, 'sall I can figure...

    I'm sure we had left-hooker Bren gunners. I suppose that they just leaned over a bit more to the left a bit.

    When I was doing my Military Training as an apprentice, the Bren lessons were the very best because our two instructors both fought in Korea and told us amazing things about using the guns there so when the day came to fire them on Wanfell Ranges, we were really psyched up and dying to shoot them. The Armourers had fired them on the test ranges but live firing at 300 yards was like something out of heaven. I'd have fired it even if I was blind!

    They told us that the three best shots could shoot again so everyone tried REALLY hard. But at the end, they let everyone shoot again..........
