**BROWNING 1919 A-4 MACHINE GUN ON GWINN SIDEPLATE (FULLY TRANSFERABLE).

**BROWNING 1919 A-4 MACHINE GUN ON GWINN SIDEPLATE (FULLY TRANSFERABLE). SN 0001. Cal. 308. 24″ bbl. This appears to be an “all original” WWII vintage Browning 1919 A-4 gun kit on a Gwinn Firearms registered sideplate, SN 1. Although registered as 30-06 it is currently in 308 caliber. This example has the bullet guide at the front of the trunnion and cartridge stop modification riveted to the right sideplate. Rear spacer for .308 is not present. Bolt is unmarked on top, indication it is not a later 7.62 x 51 bolt. Action functions smoothly when operated by hand. It is mounted on a WWII M-2 tripod marked with a brass plate “Evans Pr. Co. 1942”. Muzzle is marked “7/8 DIA”. This weapon appears fully functional. Gun and sideplate was registered by consignor’s long time friend and associate Mac Gwinn of Levant, Maine, making this a piece of local history. PROVENANCE: Collection of Carl “Bill” Morrison. Acquired from long time friend Mac Gwinn. CONDITION: Overall appearance and condition is fine with a nice gray smooth patina to over 80% finish, most of the loss being on the top cover assembly. Trunnion is extremely clean and polished. Internals are fairly fine, as is bolt face. Although there is grime and dust along the recesses combined with oil, this gun action is in a very smooth and functional condition. Bore is excellent, shiny and bright. Right hand Bakelite panel is cracked horizontally completely through across escutcheon and has 1″ chip out of base where it meets pistol grip. This cataloger does not doubt that this would be a fine shooting machine gun. 4-48657 JWK15 (10,000-20,000)
