Description:

Manufactured using a new-made right sideplate and a combination of military surplus and commercial components, this full function Browning 1917A1 machine gun was produced by Inland Arms of Austin Texas (not to be confused with the GM Inland Division or the Inland Arms currently located in Dayton, Ohio). Originally developed by John M. Browning, variants and descendants of the 1917 would be go-to weapons for decades with the United States armed forces, with the 1919 and M2 in particular being signature weapons of both World Wars, Korea and Vietnam. Folding blade front and flip-up ladder rear sights, with military-style nomenclature on the right sideplate, brass-capped water jacket and a checkered pistol grip. Lot includes a water can, water hose, four canvas belts, and three extra barrels.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as remanufactured, with 80% plus Inland-applied parkerized finish, with some scattered pitting, heat discoloration at the rear of the receiver box, and mild handling marks. Mechanically excellent. Barrels are worn and oxidized. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.
