Product Information

Deactivated WWII Inglis made Bren MKIm light machine gun. Dated 1943, matching numbers to receiver and trigger assembly with broad arrow stamps. It is fairly unusual to find one with an original WWII dated Inglis made barrel, as most were changed or upgraded post war. This example even has the correct Canadian marked magazine.  Deactivated with a working action it can be cocked, stripped and dry fired.

The Bren is often over shadowed by the infamous German MG34 & MG42. Whilst the German's were over engineering and machining to very high tolerances, the British kept it simple. The MG34 & 42 could fire more rounds per minute and were formidable weapons. But, this high level of fire came at a price, barrels would over heat, this meant it had to be well maintained. The Bren on the other hand could cope with sustain fired until barrels glowed red, had a far simpler action and was much more portable with an easy and quick box magazine for reloading. Well drilled soldiers were trained, and could strip Bren's with eyes closed. I rest my case!
