Manufactured in the 1980s by Tippmann Arms of Fort Wayne, Indiana, this is a finely made reduced sale copy of the 1917 water cooled Browning .30 Caliber Machine Gun designed to fit .22 Long Rifle cartridges only. The total length of the piece is 18 3/4 inches. Blade front and adjustable ladder rear sights, and "MOD. 1917/NO. 0A2/TIPPMANN ARMS CO./FT. WAYNE, IN." marking on the right side of the receiver. With a metal tripod, traverse & elevation mechanism, one ammunition belt, hardwood transport crate, and two ammunition boxes, all scaled to match the item.

Very good. 85% plus original bright blue finish remains with scratches and light spotting on the water jacket, and handling marks overall. The grips and grip frame are detached with small dings on the wood. Some components absent (recoil spring), others need adjustment/replacement (firing pin, belt feed mechanism).
