A drum magazine on a Bren gun? Wow that's different. I reenact WW2 Canadian forces and have never heard of that before. Nice photos by the way. |

Thanks Terry.
I had heard of, but hadn't seen one before. I'm not sure how common they were. |

They were for brens that were being used as AA guns, like in the picture. |

The resistance was so realistically disguised, I wouldn't have noticed them if you hadn't pointed it out ;-). Thanks for a good read and some great reference pictures. Don. |

Just as an interesting note if you havent seen one - The AA tripod in use with the Bren is the same as the ground tripod – there was a provision to add a fourth leg (or use an enfield rifle) – the the front leg became the vertical post – and there was a collar to hook the Bren to (which can be seen in the photo)… Drum mags for Brens are still available (for $1,000) :-) James |

:-) That is worth knowing, thanks.
$1000!! Bet some chaps wished they'd taken a few home with them when they were demobbed eh. |
