Do you know if any 30. cal. Browning airsoft gun is available on the
market, preferably made of metal?? I would love to have one on my GPW
Jeep! I really am in love with the watercooled one (M1917A1 ??? IIRC)
Do you know if anybody has mounted one on his Jeep? Any problem with the
M31C mount I should know of??
I have seen the Thompson submachinegun at a show in Rome and the dealer
said it could be had with a real wood buttstock... It was really very
convincing (the Thompson, not the dealer!!).

Thank you!
