**30M2 BROWNING AIRCRAFT LIGHT MACHINE GUN (C&R).

SN 135872. 30 cal. 24″ bbl. This Browning aircraft machine gun is marked on right side of receiver “Manufactured by/BROWN-LIPPE-CHAPIN DIV GENERAL MOTORS/SYRACUSE, NEW YORK U.S.A.” followed by patent numbers. This particular specimen is missing its bbl and cocking handle as well as screw in muzzle. It has been fitted with an aluminum firing actuator (lever) on the back plate. No provision for sights, however this gun is set up to go on a ground mount. There is evidence when looking through the bottom of the receiver of some scorching and loss of finish, indicating that at one time this was a dewat. Currently this gun is on a form 4 as a live gun. Bolt rides to the rear when cocked by hand and trigger releases firing pin when bolt is in the closed position. This weapon would appear functional if it had the missing parts. PROVENANCE: The class III weapons formerly on loan to Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish near excellent. Over 95% smooth gray finish on receiver with about 90% of a somewhat thinner smooth gray finish on the bbl shroud. Bolt is in extremely fine condition with dark black finish. Bolt face is near excellent. Top cover and other action parts also extremely fine. These Browning aircraft guns are extremely fast firing and a favorite of machine gun collectors. 4-51767 JWK62 (12,000-16,000) – Lot 1041
