Just a thought and wondering why there hasn't been an answer to this question yet. But what IS a AMN2 in .303" calibre......................?
Maybe if I/we knew, you'd get an answer. Or have I missed something?

Aha! Quick google, .303 Browning, aircraft mounted.
Looks like one for our Canadian
members- c'mon guys, no pressure....

Well why not just say a .303" Browning...................... We have a Vickers and a BSA made .303 but no Inglis

I had one in the collection in Gagetown NB. And I know Peter will probably recommend charges for this but even though it was marked DP I felt I had no choice but to fire it. I had to manufacture a mount group from a .30 cal tripod, pintle and modified T&E and there we were. I used the long lever bolt trip under the back and put a line on the sear slide trip on the right side. I have about 100 links so I set it up when we fired foreign weapons during a small arms instructors course. When I touched off, the 100 rds went in about two bursts, the whole line stopped and all heads turned towards me. OOPS!!! I guess the secret's out now! I had no more ammo so that was that. What a neat gun! By the way MKII, what info were you looking for?

Heres a thread by Clarke, look at the first pic, it shows a Inglis ANM2 in the test jig at the Inglis plant
Toronto Archives photo search on John Inglis Plant/bren guns
I've got a few parts from a BSA made gun which were salvaged from a gun as it was about to get the guillotine. No chance of saving the gun, the order was to destroy it so I got what I could.

One of ours will be test fired in the spring. It's been a long time cominmg but when it goes, you'll hear it. But high speed takes on a different meaning after doing the UK
acceptance trials of the Dillon minigun.

I had a beautiful .30-06 Colt ANM2 many years ago. The rate of fire is around 1000 per minute which was OK for an air cooled gun in an aircraft. There was a buffer kit for adapting them to ground use so they didn't burn up too quickly.
