This is a beautiful, upgraded, museum quality, Historic Arms Mk I Bren, semi auto recreation. Len Savage does some beautiful work. Gun shows like a new Bren, off the factory line, in 1943. These are made right here in Franklin Georgia. Gotta be proud. This particular build was with an Australian receiver by Lithgow, 1943. Brens were made in England, Australia and Canada during WWII. It was the mainstay of British Forces small arms throughout the world as they sought to protect their empire. It is in classic British .303 and runs very well. This offering has several options.

The Base Option ( or Option 1) will contain the gun itself, with upgraded, NEW, buttstock, pistol grip and barrel carry handle. It will also come with 4 very nice 30 round, .303 magazines. Also included will be 4 boxes of modern manufactured .303 British ammunition. 40 rounds of Wolff, copper washed steel casings and 40 rounds of PPU brass cased. Both work well in this rifle with one consideration. You must oil the cases with a spray lube oil before loading and firing. Then they run 100%. .303 Surplus ammo runs with no lubrication. Commercial cases have a much thinner web at the base of the case. I found a reproduction butt handle, so will include that with Option 1. It is in like new condition, with beautiful wood handle.

Option 2 will include all of Option 1 AND a Carry Box of 12 surplus, .303 Bren gun magazines. These show lots of finish wear, but have no major defects or ill feeding effects. It also includes a very nice Mk II barrel with gas regulator and nice condition overall. This barrel headspace’s within tolerances to this receiver and bolt. And the third item in Option 2 is a sealed case of 288 rounds of British surplus Mk 7 .303 Vickers, Bren and Lee Enfield ammunition. Dated 1952 This is considered a top performing round in the .303 Surplus, WWII realm.

I have run this similar ammo, from various manufacturers and dates ( all the way back to 1942) with no real issue other than cracked case necks. It has been 100% reliable. BUT, the gun should be cleaned as with any corrosive ammunition AND, the cases should not be considered reloadable...

Contact for questions. Sale only at this time.

Option 1. $7,000

Option 2. $8,000

Option 3. $10,000
(Includes everything I have for Bren gun, .303)

More items are available. Only for sale, with gun, as a package. I have transit box, additional carry boxes of mags, slings, pouches, spare parts, tools, etc. Also have very high quality MEN .303 ammunition that only sells with gun or after gun sells. MEN is military quality, military contracted, non-corrosive, full power ammo made in the 1980s and 90s. One additional case of .303 Ball, Mk 7 CTN, various small lot boxes of military .303 ammo and MkIII, shortened and lightened Bren barrels (2), both headspace within spec on this rifle. I will not part out any accessories before sale of the gun. Buyer gets first right of refusal. I have been collecting Bren related items for years.

Sorry, pictures show PPU in 30.06. My mistake. You will get 2 20 round boxes of PPU .303 British.
