New cast Bren gun pintles

[Ben]

They probably would be cheaper in another material but as I'm going to the trouble of making a new pattern I thought I'd make them as the original, brass. I think some may have even been bronze!! The lever is included in the price but is steel.

There are two flat steel leaf type springs behind the lever to help the mechanism, I'll include drawings for those with the castings.

I didn't include all the machining in the price as I wanted to keep the basic price as low as possible but I have enquired about it and may perhaps offer it at an extra cost. I didn't want people feeling they were being charged for things they didn't want. A couple have asked for machining as they want a part ready to bolt on, others have said they can do it themselves. If I offered castings all finished including the springs etc they would be much more than the £45 (approximate) price originally quoted. I'm not making money on having them cast or covering my costs this is the price the foundry have
quoted.

Thanks for the interest, I think doing small projects like this helps as many as possible but shares the cost fairly?
