BROWNING MODEL1919 A4 MACHINE GUN WITH TRIPOD. S#8018. Cal 30-06. Bbl 26" The 1919 is one of the most iconic ground & vehicle mounted machine guns in U.S. Military history w/ such a long range of service, from the early 1920's through Vietnam, video footage as well as Hollywood films have featured this weapon system in countless reels. Originally it was intended to be the "go-to" Browning design tank gun in WWI, though it was introduced a little too late. It utilizes a heavier bbl. than its water cooled predecessor & traded the massive water jacket for a much slimmer slotted bbl. shroud for air cooling.
