A licensed copy of the famed Browning Automatic Rifle, the 1918 Browning Machine Rifle was Marlin-Rockwell's light machine gun offering for World War I, offering a virtually unprecedented combination of firepower and maneuverability for infantry combat operations. Blade front and folding ladder rear sights, with an "M/8-18" marked barrel, five-line nomenclature/"PATENT APPLIED FOR" markings on top of the receiver, three position selector with "F A S" markings (semi/full/safe) and spring loaded plunger between the full auto and safe positions. A "crown/GP" British proof is present on the right side of the receiver. Fitted with a checkered forearm, a smooth pistol grip stock with "12" panted on the grip heel, and a green canvas sling.

Very fine, with 75% of the arsenal refurbished blue on the receiver, 95% original blue on the barrel, showing areas of brown and gray patina, spotting concentrated at the rear of the receiver, dings on and around the gas cylinder, and takedown lines on the receiver. The wood is very good, with cracks in the buttstock and stains and scuffs overall. Mechanically excellent.
