VICKERS MKI 303 HEAVY MACHINE GUN C&R ALL ORIGINAL WOW
The Vickers Mk.1 water-cooled machine-gun was the primary heavy machine-gun of the Canadian Corps after July 1916. The belt-fed Vickers fired the same .303 calibre cartridge as the infantry’s Lee-Enfield rifle.
The Vickers’ weight made it more suitable for a defensive role, but it could also be used in the attack. By 1916, the Canadians had begun to experiment with indirect machine-gun barrages in which, similar to the artillery, machine-guns fired on unseen targets, often using only map references to determine their targets.
The Vickers could also be moved forward in the attack, but because its team of five needed to drag it forward along with sufficient ammunition and water, it was generally part of the second or third assault wave.

VICKERS HEAVY MACHINE GUN
This is an awesome package ! It was originally manufactured in 1917 and went to Portugal to get inventoried after WWI then eventually it came to the United States 1
- Includes 3 extra barrels, one is 8mm and has a lock and feed block for it.
- Original Chadwick illuminated aiming module. (you would put two of these out to establish a firing cone vector, then pull the cord to turn them on… and fire back and forth between the lights) Super rare I understand.
- 4 original ammo boxes – 3 are full belts (2 with new ammo, the aircraft box is original ammo) 1 additional fabric belt (750 rounds of ammo total included – .303 brit)
- Vickers oiler box w/cans
- British MG marked condenser can – broad arrow stamped and dated from the 50’s
- Spare firing pin
- Original condensing house
- wrench
- spring tension-er
- The ammo can hanger … is the only reproduction item here. Made in the 90’s I believe
- Gun, all parts on it including top cover, lock and tripod are matching numbers. Looks like the actual cradle is a few years older though, marked 1915 and has a different serial number. I’m sure it’s original to the gun however when it was put together and boxed, then shipped to Portugal originally.
- Box is original condition, original paint, and marked for shipping in Portuguese. Inside the lid is a 1947 inventory number written in pencil. I believe that would have been when it left Portugal for South Africa.
- Shipping on this item is $300
