**1917 A1 WATER COOLED MG ON RAMO SIDEPLATE (FULLY TRANSFERABLE).

**1917 A1 WATER COOLED MG ON RAMO SIDEPLATE (FULLY TRANSFERABLE). SN 800134. Cal .308 24″ bbl. This is a 1928 commercial water cooled machine gun kit assembled on a Ramo registered sideplate and includes bakelite hand grip panels, brass trunnion and endcap. 1928 commercial flash hider and red hard rubber thumb pieces on water filler and drain caps. Steam exit cork is hard rubber attached by non vintage brass chain. Bolt is marked “7.62”. Front .308 spacer is present. Tension spring is present within top cover to keep arm to left when cover is raised. Brass trunnion is marked “844” at top. Front endcap is also marked “44”. This weapon passes functions check and appears fully functional. A number of these kits were brought into the country years ago and assembled onto registered sideplates. This is undoubtedly one of them. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is excellent as refinished. Close observation reveals tiny pin pricks of pitting all along left sideplate. Bore is excellent as is bolt and all internals. Almost certainly unfired since being assembled and refinished. Trunnion has a vertical line on the right side parallel to the right sideplate line where there is a provision to remove the top cover retaining pin by rotating a lever. This in no way detracts from the attractiveness of this piece. This would make a great display piece for any WWI era collection, or a shooter. 4-47333 JWK28 (10,000-15,000)
