**BROWNING AUTOMATIC RIFLE MODEL 1918 (C&R-REGISTERED DEWAT).

**BROWNING AUTOMATIC RIFLE MODEL 1918 (C&R-REGISTERED DEWAT). SN 109085. Cal. 30-06. 24″ bbl. Model 1918. Manufactured by Winchester. Bbl indicates year of manufacture November 1918. Accessories include takedown tool, early checkered forearm as well as orig wooden buttstock. However, spare wooden buttstock is missing buttplate. Spare buttstock and forearm are in good condition with some small gouges and chips. Spare forearm has chip out of interior which does not affect fit or exterior appearance. Forward sling swivel is missing on gun. Firing mechanism functions smoothly when cycled by hand. Although registered as fully transferable, this weapon has been rendered unserviceable by plugging the chamber with some unknown metal. Bolt and bolt face in excellent condition. Touch of weld on right-hand side of receiver at junction where bbl meets receiver, resulting in very minor blemish to overall appearance. Drop of weld also on forward detent pin, again almost unnoticeable to observer. CONDITION: Overall 40% of blue and nice gray patina. Numerous small pits on bbl. Three small vice marks on bbl just forward of receiver. Bbl markings were partially buffed, yet are still visible with flaming bomb proof mark and dated “11-18”. Flaming bomb mark also evident on top of bbl just forward of receiver, as well as on top of receiver just forward of rear sight. Flash hider missing at muzzle. Gas regulator is of a later replacement type. Forearm is of the smooth wooden WWII type as is the carrying handle. Forearm has 1/2″ gouge vertically on left side as well as some small dings and chips. Buttstock is of the hard resin type, dark brown to black. Shoulder rest on buttplate moves up and down smoothly with correct tension. However, shoulder rest shows evidence of field repair at top junction where it was broken and welded. Overall a very interesting specimen of what was probably a WWII issued and used firearm. 4-37877 JWK17 (15,000-20,000)
