Hi I was wondering if anyone knew if a .50 Browning will fit on 1919a4 tripod at all?

I have a .50 deact coming in but no tripod but I also have a 1919A4 was wondering if you knew if the two can swap tripods?


Thanks
 
It will fit onto the pintle, but it won't reach the T&E. There were some early pintles which only fitted onto the one tripod, but not the other, but all later pintles have both grooves in them to make them universal between the two tripods.

The 50 cal will dwarf the puny GPMG tripod. On the other hand, when you do get the 50 cal tripod, and put the 50 cal onto it with it's muzzle brake and an ammo can, you will fill up half a small bedroom displaying it..

Oh oh, because thats were its going:D in a small bedroom with the 30 cal as well.

So at least it will drop into the 30 cal tripod if I understand you properly but no T&E which is fine for the time being until I find a tripod.

Anyone know of any good tripod sources that we can get access to??

Thanks

Johnone:
The tripod and the M63 AA mounts, while at very desirable prices, are shown as not available on your site. I would love to get a M63 mount for my M1919A4. Any of these above items available, and are the prices shown correct?

I actually have the legs, or portions of them, of a 50 tripod hiding behind the door to the gun room. No work for the next while however. If you check my location you will see I am occupied for the winter.
