WWII Vickers .303 MMG & Tripod

NON-UK SALES ONLY OR RE-DEACTIVATION TO CURRENT DEACTIVATION SPECIFICATION - PLEASE CONTACT US FOR FURTHER DETAILS.  A really nice Australian MKI Vickers .303 from WWII complete with its tripod. This example is a particularly interesting example as it actually started life as a MKXX1 (MK21) designed for armoured fighting vehicles and produced in very small numbers (284 units) in the early 1940's. It was found that these AFV versions weren't needed and all of them were later converted to the standard infantry specification (MKI). The original T prefixed serial number (T67) is still present on the barrel jacket but has been struck through and an additional B prefixed serial number applied. The condition of the gun is really excellent - one of the best we have seen. The 1942 dated tripod is in very good order with just a bit of expected paint loss. Post-1995 deactivation with fully moving parts, a working dry fire action and the ability to field strip.
