Bren Pogo Stick: Real or Repro

[rob love]

Thanks for your insight Lynn.

The three photos in the post above yours are of Kevin's repro along with one he had borrowed which was original. The one I have has a more proportional hole on the top casting very much like the repro from Rick. There is still paint in the hole. I'll try it out on a Bren tonight for fit.

The lack of part numbers and drain hole is worrisome to me.

Does anyone know when these were initially repro'd? I thought I had read about reproductions dating right back into the 80s in the old quad or cmp magazines.
