Bren Mk II semi-automatic rifle manufactured by Historic arms from surplus parts and components on a rewelded and modified closed-bolt receiver. These receivers were rewelded using a specialized jig, and have been reinforced internally, resulting in a strong receiver, with few indications of ever having being cut. Left side of receiver bears contemporary applied proofs, with the "A", "S", and "R" marked selector having a bar welded in place, stopping full travel of the lever to the "A" position. Right side of receiver is stamped "BREN MK II", followed by "INGLIS/1944" as well as a American flag over "MADE IN / USA" and "HISTORIC ARMS LLC / FRANKLI GA". Features include a 22" barrel, flash hider, bipod, carry handle, standard offset Bren pattern front & rear sights, as well as a solid wood buttstock and pistol grip. Receiver and bipod exhibit matte gray finishes, with the barrel retaining a black painted finish. CONDITION: Excellent, with metal components retaining virtually all of their reapplied finish, exhibiting some minor superficial marks from handling and storage overall. Bore is bright, exhibiting strong and well defined lands and grooves throughout. Wood furniture is excellent, showing a few dings and impressions, but otherwise being fine. A very nice, high condition example of an semi-automatic conversion of Britain's iconic World War II Bren light machine gun.
