APEXgunparts Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Very cool video!I like the close-ups showing the feed and ejection.You need to remove that carry handle and sell it to me!Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Very well done video. The one unique thing I notice is the powder smell/ warm gas coming back at the shooter through the fins. The only way that could be improved is if it were 2 stroke castor oil burning. They are starting to accumulate here like potato chips....you can't have just one once you've tried it. Now you have to get a US gun to go with your US Navy drum chest! Probably easier, and way cheaper to get a steel British chest though? The under the gun drum view was cool to watch IMO.

michaelkih Posted March 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Glad you liked the video. Are the handles rare to find? Came from a great owner that included basically all the accessories I could ever want. Very lucky and happy. Very cool video!I like the close-ups showing the feed and ejection. You need to remove that carry handle and sell it to me! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timkel Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 A clock spring type recoil spring, aluminum cooling fins and that drum mag are really interesting. Great video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hntrdarren Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Great video Mike. I agree with ron_brock. Makes me want a Lewis gun even more than I already did. Your videos are costing me a lot of money..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 If you want a Lewis just from seeing the video, imagine how those of us who have seen Jim C's gun in person feel. I like it way better than either of his very, very nice BARs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to remove that carry handle and sell it to me! Richard The LEWIS carry handles are not easy to locate anymore, which is what prompted my (not serious) comment.There is also an adapter to mount the LEWIS in a Vickers mount.I was offered one of those once, but I didn't have the $2500 asking price. I do appreciate you making and sharing that video of your gun.They are a classic piece of military history! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
