I now have everything for the No.4 I can get, including the magazine which are the most difficult to source, I only need the internals. I'm currently aiming on using a gas gun, that way I don't have to cut a space for the magazines to slot in. But then it comes with all the problems of a gas gun & I'll have to use the magazine as a template to make fake mags to stick to the bottom of the gas mags so it's swings & round abouts. My one will (fingers crossed) be better aesthetically at the expense of practicality & possibly performance but it comes down to what you're wanting.

Ah, okay, I feel better now. :)
Yeah, at the moment I am aiming more for a mixture of a fairly good overall cost, relatively good durability, and enough look to make it feel real. At least compared to some of those odd looking clearsoft ones that don't even feel like a gun....

Don't feel bad, your not the only one, until they mentioned it, I thought there was only one page myself. :p
In regards to the No 1's use in WWII, I guess it was a necessity weapon, the UK was REALLY short on guns after D-Day, only by the generosity of the Americans in sending over an early shipment of arms, could most of the main soldiers on the Islands be armed (the 1st Canadian division included).
And in regards to Canada, in '39, we had 29 Brens, 23 anti tank rifles and 5 three inch mortars. :p

If it's parts you want, these guys are right on the ball:

They have all sorts of stuff for all sorts of guns, apart from mags & receivers (per the customs rules) everything else is okay to be shipped up here.
They get full stock sets every once in a while, but it can take time.
Don't get doscouraged, it all comes down to the time any way. I'm suffering a severe piss-taking off the guys for the length of time this has been sitting in my basement, but what the heck, I'd be taking the piss as well if I was as ugly as they are, it diverts attention. ;)

Thanks for the link, should be a help. I will work on not getting discouraged also. ;)
