    US Made Parts

    Is there anyone out there making US parts for the BREN? I haven't found anything.

    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. Brian Dick ...

    I think most are kits from cut guns. There should be lots out there though.

    I've seen those 922r (or whatever the numbers are) compliance parts for sale, pistons are a coomon compliance part.

    Sorry I should have been more clear. It's the 922r parts that I'm looking for.

    Lynden of Kiwi Custom Guns (located in California) makes (or at least made) many of the new US small parts for the semi-auto Bren. Don't know if he is still working on Brens or has moved on to other projects. I wrote to him about buying a spare "striker" about 6 months ago, but he replied that he had none and wasn't going to be making any in the near future. You should be able to locate him on the "error net".

    the metal parts are usually done in small runs. keep you eye on the builder forums and when they come up get them while you can. The wood parts seem to be the same way but with blue monster closing they will be harder to find.
    If you cut and weld the parts that come with the kit yourself then you only need to find a striker and firing pin to make it work then to get your parts count up you can change the trigger or wood or gas piston or mag followers and floor plates
