Ahhhhh..... the gun that started it ALL! Mega cool!

How do they shoot? Handle? they look a bit heavy, are they?

Those things have got to be worth several thou these days, what do you see and hear about values?

Hey GM, welcome the forum - I am new myself. 

Those are spectacular specimans!    Always love to see pics of the Granddaddy that started it all.     Love that vice job.  Never could bring myself to doing that to one of mine.    I know Bruce and the guys over at the Bren forum say less than 1100 were made.  I have a very relialble source that worked very closely with the factory and he claims it was in the low 900 fiqure.  More rare than we thought.

Thanks for sharing.

Those are the guns that hooked me.  I don't remember if it was Handgunner or Rifleman or which gunrag it was, but the picture and the article made me forever a 10mm guy.  Quite the impression on a young teenager.  Still is.

Most accurate pistols I own, point naturally. Suprisingly light. Value is what a buyer will pay as these are so rare. I paid 2500.00 for each several years ago. Viced gun was in poor finish when I got it. Original bren I have has 30 rounds thru it + whatever by D&D. Viced gun has maybe 500 tops.

Really nice Brens...do you also have magazines for them?

Considering how much he paid for them, I am sure he does. :)


I have mags for all of mine and then some.
