Saw this at the range yesterday
I was at French Creek Outfitter's indoor range yesterday when this guy walked in with what I first thought was a rocket launcher, till I got a better look at it.
I can't remember what model this is, but the guy told me that it's a WWI German machine gun. He was trying to get the full auto working because they were going to use it in a movie that they were filming. He was nice enough to let me snap a picture of it.

Yep, it's a German Maxim. The barrel shroud was used on several machine guns of the period.

The receiver looks original.
Theres quite a few of these in the registry, It's just that they aren't that popular. I saw one for $11K last year that came with a load of accesories/ammo

That's a hoss of a gun. Imagine slinging that thing around for a tour of duty...

Re: Saw this at the range yesterday
under 2000fps? Just wondering if that is how they allowed it on the range.
