Re: Browning MG

If we are talking about an M2 there is a video about that gun here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmLnwiJRr78

The serial number is on the right side of the gun in front of the "witness hole"

See minute 16:25 for a peek at part of the serial number then at 24:00 for the full markings.

Re: Browning MG

Dear RS wank,

many thx for your link to the MG video.
Quite important to know all this.
Actually I approached to little numbers (patent) on the gun,
hopefully I can restore the big serial numbers above. Still under a thick rust cover. The Mg was liying for a long time under deep soil, it was once purposly exposed by burying it. LOL
Best greetings
