Manufactured using a Catco-made right sideplate and a mix of commercial and military surplus components, this is a fine representative example of the Browning Model 1919A6 machine gun. Developed during World War II, the A6 variant of the 1919 was meant to fill the gap between the tripod-mounted 1919 and the handheld 1918 BAR, giving a weapon more maneuverable than a tripod gun but with greater sustained fire capacity than a magazine fed rifle. Folding blade front and ladder rear sights, with a flash hider/muzzle booster and swiveling bipod on the end of the heat shield, Catco markings on the sideplate, Israeli-marked 7/62mm feed mechanism, and a checkered pistol grip with a clamp-on buttstock.
