    canadian bren manufacturing locations

    anyone know if it was just Long Branch and Inglis that made or assisted in the manufacturing process of the bren? I know CAL (long branch) made a few in its day after the war mostly experimental units but was there any other facilities in ontario that assisted?

    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.

    The real answer is that zillions of other manufacturers assisted in the manufacturing processes of/for Bren guns. I can't assist in exactly which of them were close to Toronto but I bet some of the Canadians can tell you

    Inglis and Longbranch

    My grandfather (front row left, looking at picture) on course with Longbranch hardware as well as the Inglis Bren and Boys Mk1* out front.
    Not an answer, but a decent photo with a few of the Inglis, Longbranch products. Even a No4 against the wall on the right.
