Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 1/3 scale Polish model of the 1917 Browning water cooled Browning belt fed machine gun on a tripod that converts from a ground fire to an anti-aircraft mount, that was made by Miniart in Moscow, Russia about 15 – 20 years ago. The gun itself is 16 1/4″ long overall with a 10 1/2″ barrel (including the flash hider). The finish is olive drab green paint with some small parts blued steel, and the trigger & bolt assembly finished in the white. Two piece walnut pistol grips with no escutcheons, two screws entering from the left side, with hex nuts on the right side. The rear sight has the proper distance graduation markings. No other markings. Fully functional but non-firing, and will feed, chamber, extract, & eject the rounds from the included ammo belt when the action is cycled manually. The tripod is likewise painted olive drab green with some small parts blued steel. The rear leg of the tripod stores the part that converts from a ground to an AA mount. There are adjustments on the tripod to limit the traverse travel of the gun, and all three legs are adjustable for uneven ground. The ammo belt is green cloth with a brass tab on one end and contains 20 rounds of solid brass dummy ammunition with copper primers. Only a handfull of these were made, and this is the first one I have been able to offer in several years. Near mint condition with some small nicks of missing paint, mostly to the bottom rear of the water jacket. Stock # CR-23. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
