Lot #1091:
M205 TRIPOD FOR THE BROWNING .50 CALIBER MACHINE GUN OR MK-19 AUTOMATIC GRENADE LAUNCHER.
Weighing in at 34 pounds, this tripod for the Browning .50 caliber machine gun is 16 pounds lighter than the earlier standard M3 tripod. It has a traverse and elevation mechanism which allows for more accurate indexing when engaging targets. This mechanism also can be adjusted with one hand which has obvious advantages in combat. Despite the reduced weight this tripod is stronger and more stable when hastily deployed than the M3 tripod. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent matte gray original finish with some handling marks and evidence of use. This cataloger would rather be hauling this tripod to the range than any of its heavier predecessors. JWK 2026-09-142.
