This is a very scarce example of a Danish Model 1950 light machine gun chambered in 30-06. This was the final version of the original Madsen Model 1907 light machine gun that remained in service with the Danish Army until the mid/late 1950s. This example is a fully functional, fully automatic light machine gun that is registered with the BATF. It is has the same "long barreled recoil system" as the original Model 1907 version only modified for use with the 30-06 cartridge. It is stamped with the serial number on the left side and rear area of the receiver. The original Danish crest has been removed. It uses a side mounted box magazine like the original. It has a carrying handle mounted on top of the barrel and is fitted with a blade front and military style tangent rear sights graduated 200-1900 meters. The underside of the receiver is stamped "DENMARK MADSEN 50/Cal .30" followed by "IA CO. SAC CA". It has the original heavy buttstock, perforated barrel jacket and a folding bipod mount on the underside of the barrel jacket. The metal parts are finished in a black suncoat type finish. Includes a large box containing 28 additional/spare magazines.

Very good with 50% of the arsenal black painted metal finish overall with the balance of the paint having flaked off, with the exposed metal having turned a brown patina overall. The walnut buttstock is in very good condition showing numerous light pressure dents and dings overall from field use.
