M15 .50 cal BMG realignment machine - need parts?!

Post by DDTrustee » Sun Jan 30, 2022 8:18 am

I have a M15 realignment machine for the .50 BMG linked ammo belts - missing some parts. Anyone have a MANUAL??? I think there is a feeder chute or ?? needed that I do not have. Close up

photos greatly appreciated. This is the hand-cranked machine not the 'flat plate' device - any help greatly appreciated.....

there is a pair of wooden feed ramps.
I've never seen a manual. You just start the belt in and turn the crank.
A real photo might help determine what's missing?

I need the manual. jonsm114, do you still have the manual? Or does anyone have one for sale or loan? I am attempting to get as many .50 cal. manuals together and digitized as I can. Also collecting all gun mount manuals. Just got a digital copy of the Navy OPN 951 on the Mk 17 Mod 1 & 2.
