**ITALIAN BREDA MODEL 30 MACHINE GUN (C&R).

**ITALIAN BREDA MODEL 30 MACHINE GUN (C&R). SN 86395. Cal. 6.5mm. 23″ bbl. Accessories include one complete parts set, 5 brass chargers and 1 bipod. Also included 1 set RCBS 6.5×52 Carcano dies. Gun manufactured by Breda in Rome. This arm appears fully functional. Firing mechanism moves freely when cycled by hand. Bipod legs swivel properly. Bbl SN does not match rest of gun. CONDITION: Gun exhibits milling marks under dull blue finish indicating probable late war production. Bipod has brown patina on legs. Bore has crisp, strong rifling with lans bright in places. May clean up better. Bbl’s carrying handle appears to be wrapped with string covered by a waxy paper-like substance, which is vintage, probably meant to act as an insulator to heat. Permanently attached magazine has good spring tension and swings out freely. There is a slight dent at rear outer most edge which does not seem to affect functionality. Wooden grips and butt stock show numerous dings and handling marks. Butt stock is matching number to receiver with makers cartouche. Flip up shoulder rest moves freely. There is some evidence of surface rust on the underside of shoulder rest. Bolt and internals are in the white and polished as is correct, are matching to the gun, and are in excellent condition. Parts kit appears to be of an earlier vintage without milling marks as evident and better quality bluing, but with wear and some surface rust. Overall a very interesting machine gun system, especially impressive is the condition of the interior operating parts. 4-37906 JWK35 (10,000-15,000)
