  • Browning 30.cal 1919

    This is my project that embarked on a few months ago and thought i would share the progress.

    i will add photos too the thread as i go on.

    these photos are taken in the order that i did the components.




    The internals of my personal 30.cal


    Barrel boss with brass fastener


    Reciver taped together to give me a general idea of fit


    Trigger filed to shape


    Side plates after riveting


    Top latch plate for lid


    All welded and fettled


    Top cover held open by my trusty assistant......(shhhh dnt tell him i said that its my boss)


    Overall view ow were i am with it now.

    some of the eagle eyed viewers may have spotted i have more the one guns worth of bits so there will be a few for sale.
    If your genuinely interested drop me a PM

    Feel free to comment

    Thanks
    Matt

    Very nice!

    What are the specs on that barrel jacket tube?
    Are you doing the proper rear sight bridge?

      yes it will have the correct rear sight and bridge the profile was just sat on there for effect, if i remember correctly the jacket is .6 40mm OD steel pipe.

        It's very shiny. I thought it was aluminium.

                            Not sure what Matt's using, but if you search in the right places, you can find dimensioned drawings for most of the parts. Using that info, photos can fill in the gaps.
