Like I said, not one of ours. Something from those wild colonials. That was another of the big Ordnance Depots at Trentham. Went there several times from the other big Ord Depots at Sylvia Park and Ngaruawahia

Anatomically ou'll need to shorten the barrel and all that that entails with the new flash eliminator before your .303" Bren barrel will look anything like an L4 barrel. But I suppose if you retain the L4 F/E with the choke nut and bolt instead of machining the recess for the ears and boring the taper pin hole, noone will ever notice.
I assume that you have got some L4 guns for the barrel to fit on
I did say almost correct, I do understand I'd have to shorten and reprofile the barrel to be 100%, I reckon there are probably only half a dozen people in the world who might pick it in a movie though, I look forward to your post if you ever see it. I'm sure it would be no surprise to you what gets mocked up to pass for genieune items on screen. You are correct.
Thanks again

Hi gents, I found another one of these barrels. This one had the yellow paint removed but still had the restrictor bolt inserted. As you can see in the image it has a narrow groove machined around it. You can still see some residue as well. Thought it might be of some interest.
