Lewis Gun pan mag question

[baltimoreed]

I appreciate the posts guys. I’ve always thought the Lewis was a super cool mg along with the 1917 WC and Thompson. I’ve fired a Maxim, Thompson, MP5, Colt Gatling and a Ruger Mini14 with the 3 rd burst selector [don't remember the model #]. My build will be different in that the center of my Lewis mag will be stationary while the sheet steel cover will advance the .45acp rounds as normal. A bottom plate is screwed to the aluminum center and will hold rds up in the tray. My machined teflon block will advance rds as its attached to the cover. Building parts out of aluminum and oak for now.

My build will be different

Once you have this up and running, or even in the primary test stage...we'd like to see. I'd be there to hold the camera while you test if possible. I'd even bring the ammo in case it worked perfectly...
