    TJ214, speak to us, please. Has removing the small machine screw allowed the grip to fit?

    The "attachment" has probably been produced in a place that doesn't have the same "manufacturing standards" as the UKicon or US, so some difficulty in fitting may be experienced and, therefore, adjustment may be required.

    Once fitted, the grip is probably perfectly ok when fitted to a deactivated Bren but obviously not an original military item.

    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 ...

    Flying 10........ It is a fake, a dummy, a replica of nothing that ever existed as it stands. It'd be like taking your own car into action, it's useless regardless POFicon hopw well it fits. Like a snow-plough on a mini! It fits but......

    I see...then how about this.. You've come looking for someone to tell you how to fit something that was never fitted. You find no on wants to play. Wonder why? If you hand me this item, I can fit the transverse front mounting pin to it in about five minutes like anyone with hands and eyes and a chainsaw file could. Then you have something that you can do whatever it is you think needs to be done. You get two others asking why you'd add something...like mounting a scope on a #4 rifle and saying that even though this is spurious, they DID make #4 rifles with optics and this is just like it. Peter is quite right about us, the infantry being able to smash that grip off in about five minutes of action, exiting the very first armored carrier should do it. Then we have a bolt there. Yours would damage the front mounting pin. You'll find this one too far forward to be comfortable. I've shot lots of Bren and grasping the folded bipod works great. I'd rather lay prone and use the extended bipod and employ the gun's natural accuracy though.

    Please don't feel special because of the treatment you receive. You just keep asking the same question and it gets tiring. As for professionalism...this isn't my job. I'm Infantry...regular army retired.

    Enjoy your new toy. Hope you figure it out.
    Regards, Jim

    Apparently this "weapon innovation" never went into full scale production.
