MudPuppy,
They did make them to chamber the 7.62 NATO and the guns were designated as the L4...sometime in the late 1950's I think. These particular guns can be easily recognized by the straight, rather than curved, magazine.
Opsie. My mistake.:)
The British did rechamber the BREN for 7.62x51 in 1958. It became known as the L4. Remained in British and Commonwealth service till the 1990s. I believe New Zealand still uses them in her reserve forces.
BREN.
Standard magazine held 30 instead of 20.
Has adjustable gas regulator, BAR does not.
Top loading magazine - a plus in certain situations.
Easier to field strip and maintain.
BARREL CAN BE EASILY SWAPPED OUT IN THE FIELD
"For instance their internal locks on their revolvers are a much better design than the S&W counterpart."
Yeah. I also like how they made the safety/decocker lever frame mounted instead of slide mounted on their Model 92 clones. The lifetime warrantee on their guns is also a plus.
