Bren AA Mount
Is this reproduction or original?
I discovered it at the weekend at the back of my shed and cannot remember where it came from.

Neil, that looks pretty right to me. the top (curved) bit is a casting.
If you pull it apart, can you give me the free length of the spring?

Another member has mailed me directly suggesting it is reproduction and I would tend to agree with this but I will take some more pictures. The spring can be compressed very easily by hand which I would assume should not be the case.

Neil, here is how mine are:
The top part has TL 12431 cast into one side. The other side says FMCO 42. These ones are not bronze. There is a part number stamped into the largest diameter at the bottom (TL 12429) There is a part number stamped into the outer tube (TL 12433) and under that mine has FAACO 42. The slot starts at the bottom with a ramp down from the surface and the top end finishes with a hole that is bigger in dia. than the slot is wide. I hope that helps you to decide. Lynn.

Seems I was little hasty in condemning mine but still not 100% sure on tube if people with examples can confirm. I note the small hole at the bottom end.
