This is a beautiful example of a finely detailed, scaled down version of the famous Browning water cooled Model 1917 .30 Cal Machine Gun that is fully automatic and registered as a Class III/NFA weapon. These were manufactured in the early 1980s by Tippmann Arms of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and are faithful copies of the original design only scaled down fire the 22 Long Rifle cartridge. This beautiful MG is complete with a tripod, T&E mechanism, two ammunition cans and two cloth belts. The right side of the receiver, behind the cocking handle, is marked "MOD. 1917/NO. AL170/TIPPMANN ARMS CO./FT. WAYNE, IN." It has the standard hooded blade front sight and folding adjustable rear sight on the receiver, the beautiful high polished and blued later water jacket with the contrasting brass fittings on both ends, and a walnut pistol grip. It comes with a hardwood military-style case, papers from Tippmann detailing the internal operation, a manual, two OD green scale ammunition cans and two non-disintegrating cloth belts. All the accessories and weapon itself can fit inside the storage/carrying case.

Excellent. 97% plus original blue finish remains with some scattered surface scratches and handling marks overall. Mechanically excellent.
