Bren machine gun

[murta369]

Hey lads sorry if this is the wrong thread area for this i just didnt know were to put it

Anyways i have had a recent obsession with Brens since my grandad speaks so well off them when he used to use them and from cod5

So anyways lads i was looking to build one or atleast save up for any expensive one since there amazing

i was thinking get someone to cnc the body and wood get an m60 barrel with a fancy flash hider and use an upside down gearbox with m16/m4 midcaps in the top since i dont belive high caps wind upside down correct me if i am wrong

Any help would be nice thanks
Alex

Re: Bren machine gun

Sounds like a wicked idea! Always nice to see something unique on the field!

Have you thought about the hopup unit? Turning the GB & a midcap upside down would work. But then the hopup would feed in from the top, spinning the pellet down instead of up.

Re: Bren machine gun

Ahh killer idea, keep us updated on that one!

And yeah, the hopup would be upside down, though not much of a problem i'm guessing.

Re: Bren machine gun

technically its a light machine gun

like the B.A.R.

hopup wise, you'd be looking at a P90 one, as its top loading, if you fancied a project, DO IT

or if your like me and really cant be assed, a certain place does them for £850, but ive gathered im not alloud to tell you because ive had a warning for giving someone a URL
sooo... yeah.

might aswell try
have you tried looking at a sten?

Re: Bren machine gun

ahh im fixed on the brens mate yeaah i wanted to be a bit unique
you can pm me the url you know

i was thinking off the p90 gear box but it loads behind the trigger which isnt good either way i do it i will either have a trigger or hopup problem :/

Re: Bren machine gun

thats true, ill give you the link via PM, but the guy who makes these uses the p90, so its possible, but as being a custom, it may have some problems aswell

Re: Bren machine gun

id use a modified p90 hop unit..... as they load from the top.

as for a gearbox, an m14 one small like a p90 one, but has a trigger

Re: Bren machine gun

Im going to consider my assets and decide how and which way i should do it

I will keep yous all informed on the project though

Re: Bren machine gun

There was a replica Bren gun on these forums for sale if you're interested in that. 1:1 scale. You'd already have the externals just some milling to do to get the internals to fit and you're done. Its a replica not a de-act so its legal

Re: Bren machine gun

if your considering one of the shoot and scoot brens,i would reconsider unless your big and i mean big.
the thing weighs a f*cking ton. but apart from that is very nice.
i do like all of warren work,i own one of his lee enfields,and would never get rid of it,mainly due to the fact i love the lee enfield rifles and it cost so much.

Re: Bren machine gun

Check out the Comrades In Arms forum. Theres not only a link to warrens kit but you'll also see a lot of the self builds guys from the WWII side of things have built. there'll be lots of help and advice on there I'm sure.

If you do have a look check out the 30cal someone built with sustained fire tripod and the various MG42's Very nice looking pieces of kit.
