The Bren gun was a British-made light machine gun developed in the 1930s, based on the Czechoslovak ZGB 33, and was used extensively from World War II through the late 20th century. Originally designed with a bipod, it could also be mounted on tripods or vehicles, and featured a top-mounted curved magazine and quick-change barrel. In the 1950s, many were converted to use the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge and redesignated as the L4, eventually being phased out by newer machine guns like the L7 GPMG and L86. Despite being replaced in active service, the Bren continued in limited vehicle use and was produced in India until its discontinuation in 2012. The Bren Mark 1, introduced in September 1937, was the original version based on the Czechoslovak ZGB 33 design. It measured 45.5 inches in length with a 25-inch barrel and weighed 22 lb 2 oz (10.0 kg). Key features included a drum-pattern rear sight, telescoping bipod, folding cocking handle, rear grip under the butt, and a buttstrap for shoulder firing. In 1938, one Enfield-made Mk 1 was converted to 7.92mm in anticipation of a possible British Army shift to rimless cartridges.

GMG – Reweld – Built using a Bren MK1 parts kit and converted into a semi-automatic rifle to be U.S. compliant.
The parts and overall finish of the firearm look to be in good shape for its age. The wood stock and grip are in great shape with minimal wear. The bore looked to be in fantastic shape we saw nice crisp rifling and a pretty clean bore. There is some carbon fouling but it looks like it would clean easily. Some of the original parts were converted to make this a closed bolt semi so there will be tool marks and welds where appropriate.  The Bren includes one original magazine but that magazine may need to be restricted IF you live in a restricted region.  Check in with us in advance if so.
