Designed around a Browning Model 1917/1919 pattern belt-fed action, scaled down to a blow-back rimfire action shoulder arm in a class of its own. Originally designed by Eric Graetz at Tippmann Arms, before Graetz formed Lakeside Machine and purchased the rights, tooling, and all existing parts from Tippmann. This example is serial number "0037" out of a limited run of 50 BF-1 Vindicator carbines produced. Features a unique "Summit Sighting System" which consists of an elevated inverted "V" block front sight and a post rear sight, flash hider, ventilated steel barrel shroud, rear receiver mounted safety. The receiver controls are laid out in a Browning M1919 pattern with charging handle on the right and a feed tray release on top. The right rear side of the receiver is marked with the manufacturer address, model, caliber, and serial number. Fitted with a smooth walnut semi-pistol grip stock with finger grooves and black rubber recoil pad. Includes a shipping sleeve, generic hard case, polymer disintegrating ammunition links, two cloth ammunition links, and two spare recoil and operating springs.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original parkerized finish with a few limited light scrapes and otherwise minimal handling marks. Case is fine. Mechanically excellent.
