This summer is full of historical replicas. After the premiere of the Vega Force Company PPSh-41 SMG replica (Vega Force Company PPSh-41 Replica Officially Presented), the Viva Arms brand has announced its Bren machine gun. The Viva Arms brand is known mainly for its offer of historical replicas such as the M1919 A4, MG34, Maxim M1910 or ZBvz.26 machine guns.
The new proposal is a replica of the British Bren machine gun. The historical design should not be confused with the currently produced Bren rifles from the Czech Republic.
The replica itself is made of aluminum, steel and wood. According to the manufacturer, the receiver is made of CNC machined aluminum, the barrel is made of aluminum and some elements are made of steel. The whole thing is fed from characteristic magazines with a capacity of 800 BBs (hi-cap) or 150 BBs (mid-cap). The factory replicas are supposed to generate around 350-380 fps, however dedicated CNC frames are already available for more demanding users.
Announced availability on various sites is around September 2025.
