Bren Ten 10mms & .45s

Wolf Magazine Springs

feeds@yuku.com (GARY1911A1) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:24:29 GMT

I was on the Wolf Site and under their new springs page I saw replacement magazine springs +5% for the Bren Ten. http://www.gunsprings.com/1ndex.html BREN 10, 10mm (Dornaus & Dixon) MAGAZINE SPRINGS are available in +5% extra power to assure proper feeding in pistols with weakened or broken springs. Note: magazine springs is for all versions of the Bren 10 magazines. Spring may require slight modification to fit very early...

Video footage of (I believe) Col Cooper's JCC Model...at the range!

feeds@yuku.com (The British Contingent) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:33:48 GMT

Hi guys,

I wondered if you had seen this before-I think it will make interesting viewing:

Michael Bane tests Col Coppers JCC!!!!

The forum advice about not firing Bren Tens not withstanding-its very thought provoking to see a JCC model being shot!! Note what appears to be the need to manually operate the gun after failures to feed. And a very sticky hammer on the last two shots.

Ammo appears very tame-note no large muzzle blast...

Interesting...

Unusual Serial Number

feeds@yuku.com (lightningman) — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 06:44:43 GMT

There is a Standard Model on Auction Arms. It has a serial number of "RJTI" or "RJT1". There's no year, SM, etc. in the serial number. Any of you Bren Ten gurus know what the story is?

The Bren Ten - Discuss!

feeds@yuku.com (The British Contingent) — Wed, 27 May 2009 16:19:59 GMT

Ok.

I admit I have lifted this footage. I don't apologise for that-because my interest in the Bren runs so deep that nowadays its subconscious!!

Even so, I do hope that the Fortis Pistol arrive. And will be great! ( As long as people pledge to buy it!!) I for one have emailed Eric direct to pledge fund- and as of now have had no courtesty of a response. But there are funds available for the new model any time its requested!

However- I submit that the...

How do you take down a Bren for cleaning?

feeds@yuku.com (Kavinsky) — Thu, 14 May 2009 05:46:46 GMT

I'm just looking at the internal shots of the new vltor fortis and it just occured to me, how exactly do you take down the gun for cleaning and reassemble it? I can't seem to find the manual for it online anywhere and I've never seen one, let alone owned one.

New to me SM

feeds@yuku.com (lightningman) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 12:45:48 GMT

I just picked up a SM from a board member here. It's beautiful. A nice SM went on Auction Arms for $1505, and I let that one slip by. That seller turned out to be someone here, and was nice enough to sell me his other SM. Now all I have to do is scrounge some cash for his MSM, which I got to fondle today. Anyway, I'll post pictures later.

Full length guide rods

Has the notion of using a full-length guide rod ever been implemented in the Bren Ten?

Bren Ten Values

feeds@yuku.com (lightningman) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 03:53:54 GMT

When VLTOR releases their Fortis, I'm curious to see what happens to the value and desirability of the originals. Originals seem to be at an all time high at the moment. If the Fortis comes in under a $1000, I wonder how many people would want an original.

I would think that any true enthusiast already frequents this site. I would love to see what those with Bren Tens think, as well as those who have always desired one but balked at the price.

Marksman Special Story

feeds@yuku.com (0848usmc) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 20:33:36 GMT

Hello, I have just received a copy of "Bren Ten: The Heir Apparent" and am enjoying the info so far. There is a good bit of information concerning the Marksman Special Match pistol that I can appreciate as I owned one of these for a while, but not anymore unfortunately. Around 1994 I was able to make a trade for one MSM with one magazine from a guy that just needed a smaller gun, he did not know what he had with the MSM-but I did. I had of course seen the pistol on Miami Vice during...

Recoil Springs

feeds@yuku.com (lightningman) — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 14:07:02 GMT

I can't stand when folks don't use the search function, so I spent several hours looking for threads here regarding recoil springs. I didn't find what I was looking for, so please forgive me if I overlooked the obvious.

First, does anyone know the factory standard weight for the recoil spring on a Standard Model?

Second, does anyone know, or can anyone measure the outside diameter of their recoil spring?

I have a Viced M&P that I bought from a...

BrenTen numbered APIDVC....

feeds@yuku.com (woffie) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 15:11:37 GMT

I have had a Bren Ten with the prefix APIDVCxxxxxx for a number of years. I can't find the number in the Blue Book. Is this one of those vanity numbers I have been reading about. Any ideas who originated it or how.

The beautiful Herrett Grips...and a reply from Herrett about them

feeds@yuku.com (azwilly) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:11:43 GMT

I'm sure someone here has contacted Herrett about their wood grips for the Bren. Well I tried recently and got the following reply from Robin Herrett:

"'I am sorry, but we do not manufacture stocks for the Bren Ten model. We manufacture mainly for Colt, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, and High Standard models. I wish we could be of more help."

I even sent a pic of a Bren with the grips installed. I figured since their website mentions "custom wood...

Early Bren info

feeds@yuku.com (soulezoo) — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:53:23 GMT

Ok, so I just found and am new to this forum...

I have a very early Bren and very early Delta Elite too... The Delta came with the Pachmyers instead of the later pebble grips.

Anyway, I realize that due to records lost, no telling where a Bren was made in the series. But perhaps someone here can give me an idea. The serial is 83SM038xx. This model is a shooter but in very good shape. A flat top slide, allen head screws on the sight adjustment, NO trigger stop screw...

OK,

Here's a list of everything I could think to buy if I had a million dollars and it was for sale.

What's missing/incorrect??? This could be a great thread.

Accuracy?

feeds@yuku.com (Kramitdafrog) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 09:14:57 GMT

How accurate were actual brens? The only thing I can seem to find by searching is that the factory touted them as highly accurate at quite a range, but how good were they in real life? Group sizes etc? Would you target shoot with one "out of the box" or did they take a lot of tuning to get 'em right? I'd like to hear actual range reports, not just 'I heard' or 'my buddy said', or 'I'd expect', ok?

Bren Cracked Slides and Frames.

feeds@yuku.com (vltor) — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 11:34:08 GMT

Where did the frames and slides crack? Did the 45s ever crack? Does anyone have pictures showing cracked parts?

Thanks

Value estimation?

feeds@yuku.com (bullethvac) — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 05:31:42 GMT

I have two Bren Tens I would like to find a value on. They are serial # CSA1 and CSA2, to my knowledge they are the only two CSA serialed guns to be manufactured. Please let me know if you have any information on this. These guns came from the factory shooters back in the 80s. I have both the 10mm and 45cal slides as well as 12 or more clips. if you need pictures posted, just ask. I would like to know what their value might be.
