@mikael7084 because some of us a) like the fact that there is content yet to come and b) if a 23 word comment is a blog to you, then good luck!

absolutely - I've used both .303 and 7.62 versions in my life, and loved the thing! The original Zb26/27 with the 7.92mm round and straight mag looks as if it already knew we'd knock it into 7.62 NATO

@dentonw6ir0qf15 I might have this wrong but I think it's sort of the other way round - there were Northern Ireland issue mags for the LMG which would at a pinch work in the SLR due to a better/stronger spring. Happy to be corrected if I am wrong as always!

Great video - and thrilled to think there are more to come! Correct me if I am wrong but I recall the bottom dust cover slid open on cocking, plus the 7.62 LMG version had its own wider sling - was this not the case for the .303 BREN which is seen here with a rifle sling? Finally - never knew the flash hider bit was stainless - was it necessary to leave it in the white, or could it not have been Parkerised? If anyone knows, I'd love to find out.
