Your last post. RIP, buddy. EDIT. Damn sorry to hear that. On a personal note, though, dad had a stroke and is still here. He mentions that he wishes he would have gone on to level two, though.
Very sad for the family to lose a good guy, but there are worse things than death. I hope they have the support and comfort they need. |

The closest I ever got to one was when I went to the royal armory in Leeds, England. They had a cool demilled Bren gun there that was turned into a qualification range simulator. Love to have a Bren gun, but would rather have the real slim shaddy, the ZB vz 26 ( I have even have a pic on my HD of one converted to 7.62x39 using AK mags). http://world.guns.ru/userfiles/images/machine/mg52/zb26_2.jpg Ding ding ding! No funky rimmed cartridges. 8mm FTW |

I've got a pic of a rusted up relic somewhere that's on display as a curiosity at the Proof House here in London. It was a German one that was dug up from the Battle of the Bulge. |

Quoted: The one photo at the range is definitely one I built... If I were not so distracted by the "shooter" I might have been able to identify that one as well... They take a crap load to time to put together (a compliant semi)...figure on about 40-60 man hours at a minimum...as far as calibers go there are alternatives such as 7.62x54R and .308 and others have been done. IMA parts are as posted a 50/50 chance of buildable. The real issue is where the torch went. If its cut through the locking shoulder/ mag catch area...forget it. Trunnion bore...forget it. It CAN be done, not cost effective. CNC has been tried, but the $2K+ price per stripped receiver (2005 price) was not cost effective. Bubbles has one, ask her to show pictures....  Oleg Volke took them....Tagged! I have a Mk1 kit... |

Pfff - get a Madsen instead.
Much older, historically interesting design. Far more unique and more interesting operation. AND the sights aren't as offset. 
I'm unable to resist attention-whoring in a thread like this.

I had a Mk II rebuilt and converted by Project Guns recently, very happy with the end result. I used an IMA kit and was lucky with the torch cuts. The only downside was the 5 month wait to get it back and fondle it.

Found the build thread I was talking about. If you haven't seen beltfedleadhead's build this is worth taking a look.
Restoring a Bren MKII LMG and magazines (lots of pics) |

http://www.marstar.ca/dynamic/category.jsp?catid=75102 We should be able to buy stuff like this in the US, there's no reason why not. ETA...I know that the canucks can't either, but I do pray for the day that we can see these prices. |
