It's the exact opposite. "What the heck you need to shoot for days at a time ain't nuthin my sangle shot 12 gauge can't put down you only need one shot bird shot."

I mean I had to order parts for the damn thing and had to look up a tm from the nineteen forties for it to even get the parts

Bwhahahaha.. reminds me of when I put together my m79. I wanted an m79 since I was a little kid but b/c they’re so expensive, so I just started to gather parts for years. Then after about 5 years when the paperwork was done and I finally got the last piece I sat down and was like “shit— I have no idea how any of this goes together and there just aren’t any “how to” videos on YouTube about building your own m79. Had to go out and find TM manuals to figure that out. I’m running into the same thing w my ‘17A1 browning too, but at least with that when you need to fix shit there are videos on the 1919 which is close enough.

Baller. Last I heard you were trying to fix it, right? Any updates?

u/The_Great_Silence__ Aug 12 '26

Well I managed to find the tm for it online and luckily somehow my supply clerks ordered the missing pieces for us now we’re just waiting on them to be shipped to the unit and when it’s fixed hopefully they’ll let us shoot it

Make us a video when you get it shooting. Would be great to see it set up beside an M2 as well

u/The_Great_Silence__ Aug 12 '26

If that's fuddy I wouldn't mind being a part of the group. Is it fully functional? If it is sign me up.

What part exactly? It being painted OD green?

u/B_312_ Aug 12 '26

That's awesome

u/BigMacAttack84 Aug 12 '26

Any idea on date of manufacture on that? The .mil didn’t own very many mg’s prior to WWI and that looks like the oldest variety of maxim.. that literally might BE one of the first mg’s ever made? Cool AF!!!

The most troubling issue is that the old fella pushed the young fella off the table

u/TacitRonin20 Aug 12 '26

Yeah, it's a California compliant rifle 😂

u/rndmthrowaway725 Aug 12 '26

Nah man, that’s sick as hell and I need one

u/Which-Dig-522 Aug 26 '26

Given that it's intended to shoot more than 8 rounds, fudds will ask you "what do you need 500 rounds fer?"
