Alabama Arms is offering the finest educational/instructional video available for owners and soon-to-be ownwers of the M1917-19 series of .30 Caliber Browning Machine Guns. If you are considering purchasing one of these fine machines, it would be a good idea to "preview" the gun by getting this video and finding out exactly what you are going to be getting. This is a newly produced video that is oriented toward the modern recreational shooter/collector. It is not a re-compiled copy of a bunch of old WWII training films. The topics covered include operation, (loading, firing, unloading), complete disassembly, assembly, checking headspace and timing and making adjustments, how to make and use field expedient gages, how to use the belt loaders (cloth and metal link), blank firing attachments, stuck case extractor and just about everything you need to know to feel comfortable operating your particular BMG. It even covers how to re-pack the glands on the water cooled gun and how to adjust the needles on the M1918 belt loading machine. There is more USEFUL information in this one hour video than in a stack of old Army field and technical manuals. It's been out for two years now and has been well received by all. It is available for $29.95 +$4.50 shipping and packaging (Alabama residents please add $2.40 sales tax.). Please send check or money order to Alabama Arms, Inc., P.O. Box 55177, Birmingham, AL 35255. If you have technical questions, please feel free to e-mail me at greisenw@bdm.com. I can also be reached at (256) 828-1695.
