Zeroing the Bren

**Brian Dick** · 02-01-2017 11:34 AM

I can't resist a shameless plug. I have perfect reprint Infantry Training Pams available on the Bren and it's all there. Both British icon

Mk1, Canadian icon

Mk.II and L4!! Cheap too. I have to reference these books frequently when zeroing these and other weapons because I'm suffering badly from information overload!! Put one on the book shelf and you might be happy you did someday. When they're gone they're gone. I won't be printing any more.

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.

on the 6th of the 6th in 1966 Australia icon

went metric* and so the gov to show they were ahead of the times republished everything with the new fancy metric measurements

* really took until 1971 before the transformation was complete but it started on that Monday the 6th with all currency changing that day.

Jim,

I always shake my head that folks won't buy them considering they are fit cheap. I supply one with rifles when purchased here and keep them handy for reference at all times. They go into great depth on zeroing and maintenance as well as everything else. Ho hum.

Brian

My thought would be that everyone who looks at this Bren forum needs one, or two copies of each. One to look pretty on the bookshelf and the other to get dirty on the bench and range!

And buzzing with all this knew-found knowledge, this is what I was able to achieve during my zeroing session at 100 yards. Ammo is PPU 174gr factory, weapon (Bren MKIII 1956) was fired prone with sandbags stabilizing bipod. Sight set at 200 yds. No wind. Clear and bright conditions. (Eagle eyes will note, apropos a previous post of mine in which I had an uncommanded full-auto event, that the gas regulator is now happily set at the second from smallest position.)
