    Zeroing the Bren

    Am I correct that when zeroing the Bren at all ranges, the mean POI should be one inch to the right of POA? Ta, Mike.

    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.

    Would a 6" by 6" rectangle not be a square! Or did you just drop that in to see if we were taking notice Captain ?

    Why would the Ausies have a different measuring system? And in metric for an imperialy ranged gun? I thought at first it was just the metric equivalent to imperial but there no way near similar.

    Is it definitely for a Bren or could it be Steyr or similar?
