Bren MkII parts? What do I have?

[wwiifirearms]

I got some Bren parts. No receiver parts, but looks like most of the rest (to me).

Can you help me ID what I have and what is missing?

I'm trying to figure out if I have enough for a Display or Semi-auto project. If not I'll likely have some parts to sell.

Thanks,

thats a mix of MKI/II parts , top barrel and bipod are MKI so is the charging handle assembly

 

you have everything except a receiver, locking shoulder/screw and mag release/ejector assembly.

Thanks!

Anyone got a source for a display or semi receiver?

The top barrel is a very nice early long cone Mk1, there should be a date on it for example '40 or '39. The Bipod is a British bipod Mk2 from a Daimler/monotype Mk2 gun. The bottom barrel looks to be a Inglis Mk2 (Possibly but not likely a Lithgow Mk2) but deffo not a British Monotype Mk2. The lower is from a Inglis Mk2, again deffo not a British monotype. Barrel nut is a Mk2, piston is a Mk2 and cocking handle as mentioned above is from a Mk1. If you can find a Mk2 body you could quite easily convert it to a Mk2/1 with a mill and dovetail cutter, I have 2 so can give sizes etc.

Does anyone make a display receiver for these BRENs? I've never seen one and expect it would be an expensive proposition.

Didn't IMA used to do one? but they were a little crude.

Needs a few other minor pieces but not a hard job to build into a Semi or display piece.
