Happyness is a belt fed weapon.

This belt is for a 1919 Browning 30 calibre, semi-automatic heavy machine gun. I bought some extra, because it is .308 and cheaper in bulk.

This is what it looks like:

These sacrificial links are easy to remove, and then I have rifle rounds.

These are about half the costs of boxed rounds:

This is substantially less costs for rounds, something to really consider to build up stock.

And, Yes...the 1919 was FUN to play with! But even though it is 100% legal, since it is semi-automatic; he didn't want pictures taken. So I didn't take any. It was more accurate than I expected, but sadly quite heavy too. He had a nice tripod mount which added as lot of control.

There are few things as satisfying as a belt fed firearm; maybe I need one....
