They also sell a 30 round but not sure it will fit as it is marked metric.

Yes Aloys...the BREN, when rechambered to 7.62mm NATO, was designated the L4A4.

I'd be interested to see what the different spring tensions are between the different magazines mate. As I say, we were always told to never mix them up between the various weapons because you would have "failure to feed" stoppages.

Vince ,,, all my 30-rd mags , had to have some tinkering with the feed lips so they wouldn't jam , also had to go with a special coated follower so they wouldn't hang. Cheers

MacD,,,, I've found that all the metric mags, work better that the inch models.
I'm not as young as I once was ,I'd hate to know I had to pack that mag around all day.
the 30-round on the issy hb weights in about 15 or so lbs. now. Cheers
