Vickers MKI for a BUG - The Firearms Forum

I thought about getting a Vickers MKI for a back-up-gun
in case the rats got way overpopulated........

VICKERS MK1 .303 BELT FED MACHINE GUN. THIS IS A WILSON ARMS REGISTERED SIDE PLATE MACHINE GUN. THE WEAPON IS A CHOICE EXAMPLE USING AN ORIGINAL HOST GUN LESS THE SIDE PLATE -- THIS GUN IS AN "L" SERIES GUN MADE IN 1915-1916 AND IS LISTED BY ITS ORIGINAL SERIAL NUMBER IN THE DOLF GOLDSMITH VICKERS BOOK (PG. 384) THE GUN HAS THE LATER SMOOTH BLUED STEEL MINT WATER JACKET. THIS SERIES OF FIREARMS WERE IMPORTED FROM GREECE IN THE LATE 1980's AND BUILT INTO A REGISTERED SIDE PLATE GUN USING A WILSON ARMS SIDE PLATE..... COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL VICKERS HEAVY BRASS AND STEEL TRIPOD WHICH MAKES FOR A GREAT SHOOTING PLATFORM. ALSO INCLUDED IS THE STEAM CONDENSING HOSE, CLOTH BELT INSULATED CANVAS AND ASBESTOS BBL COVER, AMMO BOX AND 8mm BBL AND BOLT FOR CONVERSION TO CHEAP SHOOTING 8mm AMMO. THIS WEAPON IS HARD TO TELL FROM A VINTAGE C&R WEAPON, AS EXCEPT FOR THE ONE SIDE PLATE THE WEAPON IS ORIGINAL..... WITH THE PRICE OF TRIPOD MOUNTED BELT FED WEAPONS GOING OUT OF SITE AND DRYING UP THIS WOULD MAKE A SUPER ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION
