BPinFL Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Looking for a working Bren drum, maybe a drum box.I remember when IMA had 4 of them in the box with winder for $250! But I didn't have a Bren then.Any leads would be appreciated. BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black River Militaria CII Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 I recall the price for the boxed drums with accessories at $1750 per set at the time. I bought one set and that is what I recall paying.FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxfaxdude Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 How reliable are the drums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3bobby Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Reliable enough that they were a development of and made by the same company who made the Vickers GO (K ) drum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPinFL Posted May 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Thanks for all the replysHow much will I have to pay for a working Drum?Thanks,BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3bobby Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 In the UK they are going for about £1200 each at the moment. At least if you pay that for one in the states you can at least use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 The last one's I've seen sell here have been between 1500-2000 depending on condition and whether they had the loading stand and winder if needed. They are much more scarce than people think in the states. The set above in the pic just made the reserve price. That's the only "set" I've seen available in years and I've asked around. Every other year or so I see a single come up. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlmg41 Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 It was a couple years ago. Sorry for the confusion.https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/75/2583/cased-set-of-four-100round-bren-gun-magazines-with-tools Could be 20 years before that set sees daylight again.
