GUN FALL 2015
The live portion of this session begins on Monday, October 5, 2015.
FANTASTIC CONDITION ORIGINAL GM FRIGIDAIRE M-2 BROWNING .50 CAL MACHINE GUN (FULLY TRANSFERABLE). BROWNING M2 223102 50 BMG MODERN; NFA Cal .50 BMG, 36" bbl. Near mint perfect example of the most successful machine gun design ever. No other heavy machine gun design has withstood the test of time with so little modification as the Browning .50 Cal machine gun. This specimen retains the crossed ordnance cannons proofmark on the right receiver plate and includes a cradle, ammunition box bracket, ammunition box, and custom waist high display stand. Backplate handles as well as the charging handle are attractive brown composition indicating this is a post-WW2 manufactured gun. Barrel bearing surface at muzzle is chrome plated and displays very attractively against the bronze shroud front bearing. Action moves smoothly (what a pull !) when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. This is a National Firearms Act weapon and requires BATF approval prior to transfer. CONDITION: Near mint in all respects with only the slightest evidence of having been fired on the feed tray and belt advancement lever. This gun came from a consignor who never had any belts or ammunition and it was a treasured display piece in a spotless room. Exterior is excellent grey/green rather smooth parkerized finish and just about as clean as possible. Handles also just about perfect factory condition. Chrome bearing surface shiny and bright. Internals also near mint with some slight blemishes from very little firing. Bore near mint, shiny and bright. Cradle, box bracket and box also very clean and attractive. Display stand legs measure 53 " long from end of one leg to the end of the opposite leg, and 35 1/2 " high. It is a nice stable display platform. This gun would make an excellent investment. Top condition specimens are scarce, and this one should have very widespread appeal as the condition is top notch, yet not so perfect that it could not be shot. 49680-1 JWK77 (30,000-50,000)
