Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice lot of Browning M2HB Machine Gun parts, which were acquired as part of a recent purchase parts. Some of these look to be almost unissued, while others have definitely seen use, and the bolt in particular is stripped and had a channel flame cut through part of it, probably to deactivate it. These would be great parts to help construct an M2HB display gun.
The lot includes the following M2HB parts:
• One Ventilated Barrel Support, which attaches around the barrel trunion on the receiver.
• One Bushing / Machine Thread for the front of the trunion.
• One Barrel Flash Hider Attachment, with the correct backing plate and all nuts and bolts included
• One Barrel Extension assembly, which shows wear and some pitting consistent with long service and possible improper storage.
• One Breech Bolt, Stripped, with a flame cut slot in the front.,
A very nice set of parts, ready to help complete that display gun!
The M2 machine gun or Browning .50 caliber machine gun (informally, "Ma Deuce") is a heavy machine gun that was designed towards the end of World War I by John Browning. Its design is similar to Browning's earlier M1919 Browning machine gun, which was chambered for the .30-06 cartridge. The M2 uses Browning's larger and more powerful .50 BMG (12.7 mm) cartridge. The design has had many designations; the official U.S. military designation for the current infantry type is Browning Machine Gun, Cal. .50, M2, HB, Flexible. It is effective against infantry, unarmored or lightly armored vehicles and boats, light fortifications, and low-flying aircraft.
The gun has been used extensively as a vehicle weapon and for aircraft armament by the United States since the 1930s. It was heavily used during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Falklands War, the Soviet–Afghan War, the Gulf War, the Iraq War, and the War in Afghanistan. It is the primary heavy machine gun of NATO countries and has been used by many other countries as well. U.S. forces have used the M2 longer than any other firearm except the .45 ACP M1911 pistol, which was also designed by John Browning.
The current M2HB (heavy barrel) is manufactured in the U.S. by General Dynamics Ohio Ordnance Works, and U.S. Ordnance for use by the U.S. government, and for allies via Foreign Military Sales, as well as by foreign manufacturers such as FN Herstal.
