Sadly the ADF destroyed all remaining Mk1 and MkII .303 LMG's about 6 yrs ago, then destroyed all the L4's later, and hence the demise of our military small arms heritage.

Wes,
A lot of Lithgow BRENs came on the market in the UK a few years back, all deactivated I hasten to add.
Also about 6/7 years ago, I was with a friend at a small club militaria swap meet and a guy there had a "as new" Vickers on its tripod, he said it had been found stored in a warehouse in Liverpool and he had a piece of paper with it somewhere. When he found it, I immediately realised that he had mistakenly thought it to have been Liverpool, England, where in fact this despatch note related to its movement from Lithgow to an ordnance depot in Liverpool NSW.
