Description:

Constructed from a combination of blued and parkerized steel components, this loading tool is marked "BROWNING BELT FILLING MACHINE/MODEL OF 1918" on top and "J.W. MFG.CO./1942" on the underside, with a vertical single stack hopper that can either be fed by hand or via stripper clips, a swiveling handle, and eye holes for mounting via screws (not included) to a workbench or table. The feed port is 3.51 inches long, suitable for the .30-06 cartridge, with "308" marked on the belt guide arm. An extra rammer assembly marked "30-06" and steel tool contoured like the front half of a 30 caliber cartridge are included, with the machine and all accessories fitting into an included green painted hardwood case.

Rating Definition:

Very good, with solid finish overall and a few mild handling marks. The case is fair, with some repainting and cracks. Not tested with a belt and cartridges, but the machine appears to be in good order.
