    We only had Mk3 Brens and L4A2's in Malaya plus the odd L4A1 that you'd see kicking around. When the Battalions went back to Oz it was back to Mk1's and 2's, leaving the UKicon issue L4's for the next battalion and so on. But in 68/9 or so, it was all M60. You can imagine the disappointment after being brought up with the GPMG/L7/FN-MAG!

    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 can. When I went to Australiaicon in '77 it was all M60s except when we contacted an armoured unit in the field. There was a 7.62 Bren, unknown to me what mark or model but I wanted to try that one out...since I was the machine gunner anyway. Then I had to wait until the end '80s to get the MAG in form of the C6 here. The I could understand what Peter would be on about. As one said, where was this when we WANTED to do this stuff?

    It JUST lets one close the bipod around it on the Bren. With the No.1 style bipod, I have to let the feet down a couple of notches to clear the grip. I suspect if I was running a no. 2 or No. 3 bipod, the feet may not pass by the pistol grip to fold in a rearward stowed position? I will have to try this. I currently do not own a No. 2 but have a No. 3 bipod.

    The grip is a tad long for my taste, but I have not been so bold yet to cut a inch or so off the bottom of one yet. I would like to even it out with the rear grip so if I stood the gun on just the grips, the rifle would sit parallel with a table top.
