Very desirable and scarce Tippman manufactured scale miniature of the classic Browning 1919A4 machine gun. The Browning design needs no introduction to military machine gun enthusiasts. This is a fully functional scaled down replica which is quite a rare item as only a few were made and registered as fully transferable machine guns. Accessories include tripod with T&E mechanism, 2 ammo boxes, and original wooden crate with operators manual. Stirrup pintle bolt is a standard bolt. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is near excellent original finish with evidence of some firing. Top cover and retaining latch have a plum color as does feed shuttle. Internal parts are appropriately “in the white” and polished. Mechanics are crisp. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face near excellent. Wooden crate is also near excellent condition but one leather carrying strap is slightly pulled away from its retaining screw. This miniature is just an amazing attractive little gun which would look great on display and since it already has been fired, can be taken out to the range upon occasion without having any great affect on its investment value. Belts in both cloth and plastic can still be acquired, and as a .22 Long Rifle machine gun, this gun is a lot easier to move around than the full-sized .30 caliber gun. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4.
