Magazine racks for extra 40 round Vickers magazines. LASTWOODSMAN 11-Mar-17 19:09 John that ammo magazine looks familiar ...? John M Oshust 11-Mar-17 19:18 The doctor is in. Please take a magazine off of the rack and wait until called! The magazines only held 40 rounds and relied on gravity to drop cartridges into the gun. Lewis guns would not function inverted nor could they be outfitted with an interrupter cam/gear to permit firing through a prop. Skyediamonds1985 13-Mar-17 13:36 Very nicely done. That's a great idea how you fabricated the cartridge..... er, magazine..... rack. Skyediamonds1985 13-Mar-17 13:40 Also meant to say thanks for the insight on the operation of the Lewis gun. I knew from the design, it wouldn't work with an interrupter mechanism, but didn't know about the gravity-feed system. I can see now, how and why they were prone to jamming. That must have been very frustrating and frightening at the same time. Please sign in to comment on this image.
