    What tool to use to turn gas regulator ?

    Was there a gas regulator wrench made to be used for the Bren gun to adjust the gas settings other than the original combination tool issued early in the production years ? What area on the combination tool used to turn the gas regulator ?

    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.

    In the classroom, during the 2nd IA, you crept up the side of the gun and..... and....... and.......... But in real life you turned the gas regulator with the nose of top round of the magazine that the gunner has just taken off the gun. In a good well trained (always a good sign of a fighting section) Bren team, the No1 on the gun would have taken the top round out and be passing it to the No2 who would be clearing the gas stoppage. 1st IA = empty magazine, 2nd IA = gas stoppage
