ive hunted the net and simply cannot find any good sorce material on the dimensions of bren guns.what i want is any plans or engineering diagrams detailing the outside dimentions of the bren gun in order to begin an airsoft bren project .failing that has anybody got a deactivated bren near-ish to guildford who would let me have a look and measure and drool a little probably .
any help would be really apreciated as ive found a depressing lack of info on my own ,even if its a book you could recomend that would still be good ,at the moment im down to trying to scale up demensions from photos and thats not to acurate but i did that with my fist attempt at a sten ,the bren is a lot more complex though,
thanks in advance

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
When I want plans, I use google sketchup ( a free 3d drawing program ), it has a 3d warehouse with lots of 3D models, including Bren guns.
Just be aware that these models are provided by Sketchup user's and may not be exact scale.
cheers lazyboy ill have a look

Yea might be worth talking to someone with CAD so that they can turn a 2D elevation in sketchup into a scale drawing and plot it. I wouldn't trust someones 3D model in sketchup, I use it extensively for work and amateurs models tend not be scaled

think ive just found the rosetta stone ,i found a site that has the overall length of the mk 1 and mk 2 from there i can scale up from photoes and ive ordered a 1/16 scale model ,from there i should be ok i think ,im just supprised its so hard to find ,was seriously thinking of buying a deactivated bren to work from and then sell it when im done ,their only around £350 compared to £850 for the shoot and scoot.it was so mutch easier doing the sten a few years back you can surf up the plans for that but the bren seems not to beb found.

Iv got a Mk2 Inglis Bren gun (1944 dated complete) i could measure up some parts if you want? or grab some detailed pictures if you needed them?
Children are our future, unless we act NOW!

i may take you up on the offer at some point ww2 enthusiast but for now wallace has been kind enough to let me climb all over his de-ac and photo some of the details but his is a mk1 and ive decided to make a mk2 ,and im sad to say i cant justify buying yours graeme as ive got nearly all the original parts that i need for the build.

by the way anybody following this thread should plobably follow "bren mk2 project"thread from here on in as its all sort of the same story.
