Here is a photo of my bren build so far. I ned to finish grinding the exterior and touch up a couple of welds then blast and park it. the internals are machined, I need to make a firing pin and striker then it will be time to test it.

I think a Bren would be a really cool build, maybe someday but not now.
It sure looks sweet :shock:

Nice job Pirate!! I am currently working on mine also, but I haven't gotten that far... I have just begun the welding, but I still need to find someone to machine my internals. I may try to have a buddy do it, but was looking for someone who has done it before to help. Did you do your own?

yes, it is pretty easy I am doing it based on the wise lite conversion. I got the photos here:
