Original German WWII 8mm Danish Madsen Machine Gun Tripod Mount

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. The Madsen tripod has a particularly important place in the history of machine guns; the Madsen tripod was the very first machine gun tripod to incorporate soft recoil. This feature greatly reduced or eliminated the effect of the gun's recoil on accuracy. The soft recoil feature allowed the gun to recoil straight back against a spring, which then returned the gun to its original position. This feature was later copied by German during WWII on the MG 34 and MG 42 Lafette tripod. The Madsen tripod was the FIRST to incorporate this feature, and thus has a very important place in the history of machine gun tripod development.

Tripod is offered in very good condition, all original parts expect for the new made clamp that secures the barrel of the MG to the mount. Comes complete with remote trigger assembly. Only one available so act quickly!
