Rifle Sculpture PC-Browning Rifle

Browning automatic chromed Rifle. This is a twice life-size cutaway

training model and was made in Chicago in the late 1940s. Powerful

semi and fully automatic Rifle used by the American Army and designed

by Robert Browning in 1917. A perfect replica of the standard size gun

but of course was never made to fire, but is able to be full dissembled

and shows the travel out of the cartridge out of the magazine into the

firing chamber whereupon after the trigger is pulled the spent cartridge

case is ejected and the next cartridge is loaded. The action of pulling

back the bolt is carried out manually but on a real rifle the action continues

automatically after the initial cocking of the gun. The cutaway sections show

the recoil system, the bolt and cartridge chamber, the return gas tube. The

model was built so as to show and teach the troops how dissemble and clean

and reassemble. Exceptional piece.
