EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE AND HIGHLY DESIRABLE DUAL BREN MACHINE GUN ANTI-AIRCRAFT MOUNT.

This custom manufactured Dual Bren AA Mount combines a combination of orig and contemporary parts is one of only a handful in this country. It mounts two British Bren machine guns side by side which can be fired simultaneously by depressing the actuators. Strong adjustable tension springs keep the trigger actuating rods in the forward position. An orig British broad arrow proof 1941 dated rear sight bracket with rubber eye-cup are present with cross-hairs for the aiming of the guns when used on this mount. Gun cradle can be locked in an upright position so that the muzzles are pointing straight skyward and the removal of a simple pin allows them to swing down into position where the firer can shoot them at an almost horizontal plane and anywhere in between. Seat and cradle assembly pivot through 360 degrees and move very freely and smoothly as does the articulating cradle assembly. Seat and cradle is a separate assembly from pedestal which makes for easier transportation. The removal of three cotter pins and nuts would allow the removal of the cradle from the main pedestal shaft so that this could be transported in three pieces. SIZE: CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance extremely fine. Green and black painted finish with a couple of small chips showing some grey primer & small areas of bare metal, especially at the high edges. Rubber eye-cup, supple and serviceable. Spring tension appropriately strong. Pedestal very stable. This mount is way cool and a dream come true for anyone fortunate enough to own two Bren guns. With a little bit of machinist work, this could be adapted to other similar model machine guns. 49648-1 JWK59 (2,500-6,000)
