An other what the hell is this tread.:) Smellie HELP!!:)

[Zdragunov]

I am calling our wise elders to help me out with this. Do you know what kind of barrel is this? Maybe a coax mounted mg barrel??

 

[XRCD011]

I think its off a water cooled MG, but thats just my quess it what it actually is.

The chamber end looks like a Browning with the notches that are used when adjusting the head space and timing in the barrel extension.

Its a browning 1919 subcaliber barrel. It appears to have been modified and be incomplete.

Back end certainly looks Browning enough, but what about all that stuff up at the front end?

What is the length, thread, et cetera, chamber diameter, bore up at the muzzle.

Almost looks like a blank-fire adapter to me.

And there WAS a .22RF conversion unit for the 1919 Browning, too.

The front face large threaded part at the muzzle end looks like the 1919 front barrel bearing (recoil muzzle boaster) that threads into the jacket. Amazing stuff, I never even knew there was a .22 sub cal kit. Now that would be a blast to have a full size 1919 in .22

Thanks a lot for all the input so far guys

That stuff at the front is to run the recoil mechanism. They used a similar system similar in concept to the colt 1911 ace floating chamber.

Looks like there is more to this then meets the eye as you need an adapter to run the .22 kit http://www.e-sarcoinc.com/1919a422supplimentalchambers.aspx and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry-ebLlaEGo
