**INGLIS MANUFACTURED BREN MARKII MACHINE GUN DATED 1944 (C&R).

SN 14T2324. Cal. 303 British, bbl 23″. This WWII Bren gun is marked “ENGLISH 1944 BREN MKII” on right side of receiver. It is also marked in small letters on right side of receiver “MARANA ARMS MFG. MARANA ARIZONA” which indicates that at one time this may have been a deactivated gun reactivated by Marana Arms. This is further supported by the fact that the bbl SN, FB271D, does not match the receiver number. The bbl release latch has two numbers one of which matches the receiver SN. Proof marks and date “44” are clearly visible on left side of receiver forward of bbl latch. Included in this lot are three 30-round Bren gun magazines and canvas sling attached to this gun. Bipod is also present. Although clearly marked MKII on receiver this gun is registered as a model “MARK I” on the current ATF form 4. Correction may be requested upon transfer through the BATF. Firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. PROVENANCE: The class III weapons formerly on loan to Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is fine. Receiver retains over 80% of its gray military blued finish, worn to bare metal at the high points and thinning in places with some scratches. Bbl retains about 80% of a dark matte blued finished with some scratches and brassing. Wood of carrying handle, hand grip and butt stock extremely strong and serviceable but they display some chips, nicks and scratches. Sling is strong, supple and serviceable. Bipod still has some remnants of earth on the bottom of the feet from a desert environment. Uncleaned bore has strong to fine rifling and grooves. Bolt face could also use a cleaning but edges are well defined. Magazines finish is consistent with the rest of this arm with one of the magazines having a much darker blued finish then the other two. The Bren gun is an outstanding performing machine gun. Comfortable to shoot and durable under all conditions. The action on this Bren gun is very smooth and this is a very attractive piece for the WWII machine gun collector. 4-51791 (30,000-35,000) – Lot 2019
