I cannot find this quotation listed in the current C&R list.

its on this page, http://www.atf.gov/publications/fire...-may-2005.html . I emailed ATF to ask why it is on that update page, but isn't on the master list, even though others on that page are in the master list.

The gun has been fired, but I would guess under 200 rounds. The pistol looks like a brand new gun. It is complete with the original box, manual and two magazines. Also included with it is a shoulder holster and about 400 rounds of the original Norma ammunition.

As an Update:

Sub 400 serial number Special Forces Light
With trigger stop, upgraded adjustable rear sight, and polished feed ramp.
2 pinned magazines
Jackass shoulder holster
160 rounds of the original Norma ammo
Somewhere between 60-80 rounds were ever fired through the gun.
Original box, manual and catalog.

There is currently an effort to bring the Bren Ten back to market by another company, although it appears to have stalled for the time being. There are a few potential owners of the new Bren Ten that are going through the same frustration that happened with the original BT 25+ years ago.

I ALSO heard this too - just last month, however I heard all was back on track AND the mags would not be so proprietary; they would use mags from EAA Witness or possibly those made by IMI/Magnum Research.

That's the way I recall it going down, exacerbated by all the easily suggestible viewers watching too much Miami Vice. Neither the Bren Ten nor the Colt Delta Elite were successes and IMO, are more like developmental oddities today valuable only for their unique history and relative rarity, rather than sterling performance....kinda' like a Delorean.
One of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time, but in retrospect....

They were GREAT ideas; however just not something that was going to take off with the non-gun enthusiast but never-the-less, gun-buying masses.

People still fall back on old calibers in their fondness for firearms: non-enthusiasts but still gun buying types KNOW the commonality of ".45" and "9mm" and ".44 Magnum" etc. Present them with 10mm, or .45GAP, or .45 WinMag, 5.7mm FN, and they go "Huh?" Really hard to get the general public to pick up on new calibers as "the standard".
