Bren Info

**WiltshireSpud** · 06-13-2011 08:05 AM

I was surfing the web last night trying to find Bren Magazine maker's marks (having just de-greased a box full) and came across this page which might be of interest if anyone hasn't seen it.

I'm not sure about some of the info as it seems to say that the Mk1m was only made by Enfield, but the listings of makers are a great supplement to the other great page by Amatikulu icon

.

Can anyone confirm the name of the contractor for S123? I've seen it as 'Ward' and 'Wall'.

Any help gratefully received.

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Thanks for the confirmation Kevin. Bought my first bren this year (Inglis Mk1m) at Chatham and I'm on a steep learning curve. Can't wait for Beltring this year to find out what else is about!

Best regards

Chris

I've got a pair of mags I can't identify. The only clear marks on them are "HC" on the left side of the mag by the rear of the floor plate.

I have 3 mags with the letters JI on one, and MA on the others.

Yes so obvious when you think about it "John Inglis"
And found the other "Munitions Australia icon

"

A bit more for the above. My late Bren mags are JII for John Inglis. Australian icon

mags can also be stamped "OA" for Orenge Arsenal. If you go to Chatham Militaria fair. See James Aslett of Chelmsford Militaria.com . He will do you a deal on a CA stamped box of 12 Inglis Bren mags. He has the tools as well. Last Sunday he had a Canadian icon

Army Brengun barrel bag for sale. Linen as opposed to webbing with leather trimmings.
I supplied James with the Brengun tools photographs.
Kind regards, Lester
