The Italian Bren Mk2, a distinguished variant of the iconic Bren light machine gun, is notably chambered for the .30-06 Springfield cartridge, diverging from the original British .303 caliber. This adaptation reflects Italy's post-World War II effort to utilize existing military resources while accommodating a more readily available and powerful cartridge. The .30-06 Springfield chambering signifies a unique chapter in the Bren gun's history, as it aligns with the broader trend of modifying and rechambering military firearms to suit new operational requirements and ammunition standards.
Italian Bren Mk2 reweld, chambered 7.62x63 / .30-06. Permanent semi auto conversion with denials to closed bolt striker fired with US made internals and FCG. Manufactured from G-VG condition kits, some surface tarnish or pinpoint pitting is possible on small parts. Uneven parkerized finish typical of rewelds, but can be Duracoated over for an even better look. Matching all the way through, barrel has been numbered to match. Barrel is a rechamber of a .303 Mk2 barrel and is headspaced to the gun; old gas port has been sleeved off and new gas block journal sleeved on to match original profile barrel. Bores are VG with strong rifling. Marked discreetly above serial number behind rear sight. Comes with transit case, cleaning rod, 1x magazine with the transit case, 1x transit case of spare magazines (12), target, and fired case. Manual included.
