Anyone know more about these Bren foregrips? They seem to have picked up the inevitable "commando" tag at some point.
The only description I've found is from IMA-USA: prototype grips for the late war Jungle warfare, put paid to by the atomic bombs closing out the war.
To me they seem completely redundant: The carry handle does almost the same thing in the lower position, as does gripping the bipod leg(s)
I've just seen this thread. I haven't heard much about this grip, but I wonder what the soldiers though of it. There must be a reason why it wasn't used post war.
It does look very cool though and I might use one with my Bren just because really. Maybe more for skirmishing with than actually ww2 milsim games
P. S. I love how any odd and unusual little thing is given the commando tag. I suppose it sells for more that way

It could be something to do with shell ejection, ...straight out from beneath mag....nice hot shells up your sleeve! Many a lost finger or two for the idiot who put their digits up the said slot when firing or cleaning.

I can't say I've ever seen one of those before. Does the bipod still fold up with it in place?
If you really want to do a Rambo with a Bren, an assault sling works far better. Brens are a bit heavy to wield like an SMG!

Few photos of foregrip fitted with bipod folded in this thread:

Interesting development: these Bren grips have identical wood parts to those sold as "Mk.V" Sten forgrips. Probably the same workshop bashing out parts.

I can't remember where I read it but I'm sure they were an Australian/Pacific theater thing , not widely used and very late war but they were real .

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
I've just seen one come up on eBay for the low low price of £75
