I always thought the long magazine trench gun adaptation with periscope was the coolest

stay below the sand bags yet see over the top with remote trigger and bolt lever

I have 2 lol. Mine kills just as good as any new gun and its been doing it since 1916

Had one years ago... Brought it home and proceeded to pour a box of 174's through it. I was a bit (lot) skinnier back then and that brass butt plate put a beating on me. But I thought it was a good gun. Wish I still had it.

Anyone got a bren gun?
Those are an awesom gun.
My buddy'd dad used a bren gun carrier to get back and forth thru the bush to his deer camp.
They were popular bush vehicles before argo's and 4 wheelers were invented.

That's what mine is Boco,

Sweet William, I do have ammo for my 303 Savage. Got it from Graff and Sons of Mexico Missouri. They carry lots of unusual and obsolete ammo. I got some 32-40 wcf from them also.

wouldn't mind getting the bren gun, would be a good hunting gun

Got the jungle carbine model,great rifle for hunting our cedar swamps.

I thought everyone had one.

everyone's probably saw one

Good story on Inuit who got hybrid Grizzly -Polar bear with one .some tecky on here could do a link please .shows pictures of the beast and his trusty 303 .I bought 311 bullets to run in my Mosin that is the 303 medicine

A Mosin that shoots 303?

Same width bullets for reloading

Nope sold all mine when Russian invaded Afghanistan along with cases of bullets @ 1$ each.
ya right....that's what defeated Russian in those mountain passes.........and our war leaders never learn from mistakes.

In 1970 they were 19.95$ and a case of shells for 9.95. and the case was a foot-locker size. 1/4 inch of barrel grease you had to remove.
Was taught by a WW1 sniper how to use them on a gopher patch. Only allowed to shoot 300+ yard shots, it was fun. He was the spotter and would tell you elevation-windage- drop, 2 misses and you had to pass the gun over for him to shoot. His were 500 yarders. Those old primers were double flashes and you could not re-load them.

I've fired a few Enfields and none were tackdrivers but for speed and battlefield accuracy...well. If I were stuck with a bolt action and the hoards were coming at me that's what I'd grap.

Work the bolt with your thumb and index finger and press the trigger with the pinky. With practice the speed is impressive.

Was just looking at one today. 1940 Enfield
Lots around

Not mine, but what I have. Had an old gent tell me one time they made chest harnesses for theirs. Said when you put the tripod up to full height and tried to shoot it up if your feet weren't planted good enough when you pulled the trigger that thing would end up on top of you and you didn't know where the bullets were going. I also have the standard bipod for it too. It's never been fired as the barrel and action are pristine. The wood is slick from being packed in cosmoline for years. So once a year I take it out and set it in the sun to bleed a little bit of the grease out of it.

they're got decent ballistics and thousands in the states been used for decades on bout all big game

back in my 'smithing days, I sporterized many and restored some as well, raised wood dents, etc.

Is that Bren an original full auto,elk or a cut and re weld semi?

I have one. Bought it for $150 when I was 15. I put a synthetic stock and 3x9 on it (After I gave the origonal wood stock a hackjob) Going for good money nowa days wish I had kept it original. Killed 4 bucks with it through out my teens and early twenties retired it last year and bought a Henry longranger in .308 because its more versatile for the kind of hunting I do. I purchased a Lee handloader for it a few years back because ammo is hard to find and if you do you can expect spending a $50 bill.
