I Have This Old Gun: American Lewis Light Machine Gun

In this American Rifleman TV segment of "I Have This Old Gun," we take a look at the features and history of the American version of the Lewis Light Machine Gun chambered in .30-'06 Sprg. While originally designed around the .303 British cartridge as the British Mk I Lewis, The U.S. manufacturer Savage converted the design to fire .30-'06 Sprg. for the U.S. military as the M1917 Lewis. While it was a bit less reliable than its British counterpart, the M1917 Lewis light machine gun was in U.S. service from World War I to World War II.
