The octagon link previously stated a hicap, this looks like a midcap. Is there a choice of magazines available? 

 

Agree, that would be good to know. Kinda need a hicap option for an LMG.

After asking Viva, they are 120rd Mid caps.

To be honest it makes sense from a LARPing side, given the BREN only held 30 rounds. However, unlike WWII (Unless at a themed game of course) it's not like everyone else will be carrying a spare for you meaning you'd have to fit a few big old mags somewhere ?

120 rounds is so many BB, can go a whole game on that

Mid-late October on the website, but in all likelihood it should be sooner than that. Rather have a pleasant surprise than a disappointment!

@BenJackson Any updates on when to expect the BRENs shipping out? 👀

 

Obviously aware of the storm in China causing delays

Brens will hopefully be later this month 🤞 The MG34s and Brownings have just been shipped! Hopefully they'll be here in time to show at the Midlands Airsoft Fair. Will try to get a restock in anyway but I don't think there's many left in this last manufacturing batch....

Anyone heard from Ben/Raresoft the past few weeks? Sent him a message and email to find out what's going on with the BREN (He said 4 weeks, 7 weeks ago) and now radio silence 😕

 

Edit/Update: He was away last week, all resolved now 🙂

Sorry, I'm just going through messages now giving people updates, I have a lot of work/messages to catch up on.

 

For everyone else reading, Viva have informed me that the shipment has been delayed until December, due to hand processing of the stock taking longer than expected. 

 

Apologies to everyone who has placed an order, I will keep asking Viva for updates. We've waited years for a Bren, dare I say a few more weeks is not the end of the world... 🤞

 

But nonetheless, I know it's a lot of money so I'm keen to get these in ASAP. The November date is what I was previously advised by Viva Arms earlier in the year.
