No, not a typo. The Chinese contract BREN guns were manufactured to fire 7.92 x 57, commonly known as 8mm Mauser.
Only ever seen one 7.92mm BREN, in a museum in Tasmania, locked in their armoury. They didn't have a clue about its significance, as it was part of a job-lot from a collector. Magazine was 30 rounds. When converted to 7.62 (NATO), the designation became L4A1 (etc - there were a couple in the series). Most were converted from Mk3 BREN guns. Mike Last edited by Mike Cecil; 20-04-19 at 03:49.
