British Vickers Medium Machine Gun Brass with Steel Strip Feed Block Japanese Militaria 3 Mk I loop stockOriginal Item: The most commonly found type of feed block for the Vickers gun is the brass block with the steel belt ramp riveted into the bottom of the feed way. The original version has a brass feed ramp cast as part of the feed block, but it was found to wear out too fast from friction with belts passing over it. The solution was to replace the brass ramp with a steel strip, which is riveted in place. In Very Good to Excellent Condition.
