Hello all. I've been an admirer and wannabe collector for years, but just now getting around to getting some pieces. Trying to figure out what era to start is the hardest part. I've never met a gun I didn't like, but I believe I'm going to concentrate on weapons from WWII first. Thanks in advance for all the questions I'm sure I'll ask.

Hello everybody,
I am Michael from Germany. As some of you will know in Germany it is not very easy to possessing firearms. You must be licensed sport shooter (which mean e.g. "official" training min. 12 times a year) and even then the number of semiautomatic guns you can own are very restricted or licensed collector. I am sport shooter and collector of airguns and .22lr-rimfire-rifles with military design. This is an interesting theme for a collection, but in Germany difficult because until 2003 every military looking rifle was banned and this banning is still active for rimfire-rifles used by sport shooters - and extremely silliy regulation and a side-effect of a regulation which should bann AK-rifles from sport shooting. So the number of rimfire-rifles with military design available in Germany is very, very low and importing from foreign countries, esp. overseas, is extremely difficult.
This is all for today. Have a nice day. Michael

Hi

I am looking for drawings for a bren barrel.

I am making some 7.62 bren barrels and a print for the threads would be helpful as well as the indexing for for the interrupted threads.

I am not sure how to time the thread lead to the interrupted threads

I have made test parts with the threads that thread onto the barrel nut. The threads appear to be 7 mm square threads. At least 7 mm thread lead fits the barrel nuts.

I am not sure of the gas port sizes for .7.62 nato.

I made some barrel blanks this week for this project.
