Roger,

There are many parallels between the Bofors and the Bren, and not just that they both start with a 'B'!

The barrel cooling system, the design and engineering quality, the fact that they were adopted by the British Armed Forces in time of great peril and then used into the Seventies, etc., etc.

Do you happen to have a complete list of all the spares and tools which would accompany a Mk.1 Bren? Especially interested in all the bits that were supposed to be in the spare parts tin.
