Original & Replica Item: Only One Available. Here we have a very interesting custom fabricated replica Browning M1919A4, which is a combination of a custom fabricated aluminum “shell”, into which an LARC international M-19A air-powered pellet gun was installed. This in turn was then placed on a custom made tripod for display. The entire setup was then painted overall with gunmetal gray spray paint, which really looks great!
It is quite light weight due to the construction, and the M1919A4 replica measures about 43 inches in overall length, a bit longer than usual due to the construction. It is very well made, and we have considered that it may have been some type of kit that was available, however we have found no evidence of any kits on the market like this. We have no way to know if it the air powered BB gun functionality is retained at all anymore, so this is being sold as a display piece only.
A very cost effective way to fill a hole in your collection!
The Browning 1919A4 was the definitive U.S. MG of WWII. The M1919 Browning is a .30 caliber medium machine gun that was widely used during the 20th century. The U.S. and many other countries used it as a light infantry, coaxial, mounted, aircraft, and anti-aircraft machine gun, especially during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Although it began to be superseded by newer designs in the later half of the century (such as by the M60 machine gun), it remained in use in many North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries and elsewhere for much longer. It is very similar in design to the larger .50 in (12.7 mm) M2 Machine Gun, the “Ma Deuce”, which is also a Browning-designed weapon and is still in NATO service.
