Browning Right-Hand Sliding Bipod Leg Assembly
The Browning Right-Hand Sliding Bipod Leg Assembly is a sealed U.S. military replacement component identified by Federal Stock Number 1005-731-2236. It is the lower telescoping right-hand leg with attached foot for bipod assemblies used on the Browning M1919A6 .30-caliber machine gun and the M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle.
The original package is dated December 1966 and marked Leg, Sliding, R.H. Assembly and 1 each. It contains one right-hand sliding leg, not a complete bipod and not a machine-gun tripod leg.
Historical Significance
The M1919A6 machine gun and M1918A2 BAR used related Browning bipod hardware even though the weapons served different tactical roles. Army repair-parts manuals place the same Federal Stock Number in the right-hand sliding-leg position for both bipod systems.
The sealed December 1966 package represents the military replacement-parts system that supported these established .30-caliber Browning weapons in later service and supply channels. Its dated barrier wrapper also preserves the original stock identity and quantity markings.
M1919A6 and M1918A2 BAR Bipod Applications
TM 9-1005-212-25 lists FSN 1005-731-2236 as LEG: SLIDING, RH (WELDED AND BRAZED) in the M1919A6 bipod group, Figure B-12, item 5. The figure is specifically captioned as the bipod assembly for the Caliber .30 Machine Gun M1919A6.
TM 9-1005-208-35 lists the same FSN 1005-731-2236 as LEG: SLIDING, RH in the M1918A2 BAR bipod group, Figure B-7, item 4. This documents the stock item in both weapon-support systems.
What This Item Is and Does
The Browning Right-Hand Sliding Bipod Leg Assembly is the adjustable lower right member of the bipod. It telescopes within the corresponding upper bipod leg and provides the right-side ground-contact foot or shoe.
The component forms only one side of the bipod assembly. The bipod body, upper legs, left-hand sliding leg, keys, thumbscrews, washers, and other mounting hardware are not included.

Why This Item Matters
The original wrapper and matching Federal Stock Number identify this as a specific right-hand Browning bipod component rather than a generic support leg. Army manuals document its position in both the M1919A6 and M1918A2 BAR bipod assemblies.
The sealed 1966 package is useful for a focused Browning display, restoration reference, or study of U.S. military replacement parts and cross-system stock-number use.
About This Item
The offered item is one sealed U.S. military replacement Browning Right-Hand Sliding Bipod Leg Assembly, FSN 1005-731-2236 and modern NSN 1005-00-731-2236. The package identifies the contents as Leg, Sliding, R.H. Assembly, quantity 1 each, and is dated December 1966.
The M1919A6 parts manual associates this FSN with reference number 7212236, while the M1918A2 BAR manual associates the same FSN with reference number 7312236. Both records identify the right-hand sliding bipod leg.
The red RAP Industries, Inc. marking identifies the manufacturer of the MIL-B-121C barrier wrapping material. It does not establish RAP Industries as the manufacturer of the steel bipod leg. Only the right-hand sliding leg with its attached foot is included; this is not a complete bipod or a tripod leg.
