Browning 1917A1 Base Shop Data - The U.S. military manual for overhauling the 1917A1 water cooled, belt fed Browning machine gun. This was published at Rock Island Arsenal in February of 1943. It is now 8.5 x 11", with 67 pages and a plastic comb binding so that it will lay flat on your workbench while in use. Each page has been carefully restored in Photoshop to remove the stray spots and marks, and the pages have been enhanced so that it prints as black for easier reading, instead of having the medium gray that is normally associated with the 5th generation photocopies so often found. This manual has the details you'll need to know for disassembly, assembly, inspection, and rebuilding this classic water cooled machine gun.
