.303 Lewis Gun at the Range

http://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons https://www.floatplane.com/channel/ForgottenWeapons/home Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons I really enjoy the Lewis Gun, and it's been a long time since I had a chance to put some rounds through one. This particular example is a Savage-made gun marked USN, and I think (but can't prove) that it is one of a small number purchased in .303 British caliber for the US Marine Corps. It also has the heavy-duty bipod system used by the Marines, which I have never tried before. So, let's give it a try!

Looking at an online illustration of a bipod similar to that one (the "light folding field mount"), it appears adjustable by a lever screw or catch, possibly spring-loaded, that tensions the "mounting yoke" on the barrel jacket. Wonder if that saw extended field use anywhere and, if so, how durable it was. It's supposed to allow traverse on the vertical center post.
