The rear sight is adjustable from 200-2000 meters. It used a quick change barrel system, and it has a heavy/robust folding bipod attached to the front end of the receiver. The right side of the receiver is marked: "BREN Mk 3/1", and the left side is marked "R.F.I./F.R./1963". Indicating it was refurbished in 1963. It has been reserial numbered (A2139) on the top rear end of the receiver, and the barrel locking lever with the original matching number on the rear of the lower trigger housing group.
