I was told by a dealer that the Bren loaders came from the Irish police force. They dumped some 5000 Brens with accessories.
I don't think a Czech loader will accept the rimmed .303 cartridge as these are for the 8x57 German round. But I only have a .303 loader so can not test this.

Cheers,

Figure either way its cheap if someone only needs one for display with their carrier.

I've got a wartime British version but still prefer to use my Number 1 Mark I Thumb loader for filling magazines. Much faster and less to mess with at the shooting range when we take the Bren out.

Nigel I bought the loader box from John at midwestmilitary.net
It is a reproduction but it is top quality!
This part wasnt listed on his webage anymore but he either had some still in storage or had the pattern from his last run and can make one up. The price was very reasonable.
