This video delves into the extremely rare and largely impractical 'fixed line sight' accessory designed for early production MkI Bren light machine guns. Unlike traditional sights, this device functioned more like a surveyor's tool, allowing a tripod-mounted Bren to establish and reconfirm specific fields of fire, especially in low-light conditions. It utilized the same optical element as the Vickers dial sight. The description highlights that the mounting bracket on the Bren was quickly removed from production due to the limited actual need for this feature, making the sight itself a rare collector's item and the mounting a forgotten, pointless machining addition.
