I'm originally from Winnipeg but have not heard of the Bren Chest site before. It the one out side Portage La Prairie?

If I can’t find a chest I would also be interested in any and all hardware that can be found.

Hi Randy,
Yes, that is the surplus yard I mean, and I won't be out that way till the spring.If anything,the boxes would be good as a pattern and all the hardware is on the box you would need for a restoration or a copy,although I am sure I could still pick one out of the pile you could do minor repairs to and a paint job. Shipping now is a big factor in the price of an object and so you should try and find locally first,the boxes here aren't going anywhere!

Sean,when are you moving to Winnipeg,we could use another Bren gun carrier here to make a carrier platoon!! It's warm enough here now to wear the tropical uniform (short's optional!)
Hope everyone had a Happy New Year,
Derk.
