Bren AA mounts
Incredible finds gents. Incredible.
I learn more on the subject of Bren mounts reading this forum than visiting the War Museum in Ottawa.
Whe we compare the American way of mounting their 1919A4 and BAR with the Commonwealth way of mounting their Bren's , Lewis and Breda's, don't you think the Commonwealth way was a little overly complicated ?
Take the Bren tripod ( quadripod in fact ) , have you ever seen a more doubtfull piece of ... equipment ? I own and use one by the way.I had to examine it up close and personal ,i could'nt believe what i saw in the pictures.And the subject AA mount ?
David and friends , congratulations on finding parts and wanting to reconstruct one . But sheee's , what did they ever think ? A simple pintle would of been too simple, too american ?
My two cents. Keep up the good work.
Robert
