Madsen tripods have a particularly important place in the history of machine guns; the Madsen tripod was the FIRST machine gun tripod to incorporate SOFT RECOIL.
This feature greatly reduced or eliminated the effect of the gun's recoil on accuracy.
The soft recoil feature allowed the gun to recoil straight back against a spring, which then returned the gun to its original position.
The Madsen tripod was the FIRST to incorporate this

Original wood buttstock has some marring, grime, and chips, but no cracks.
Has mars, scratches from rough handling in storage.
The rivet in the stop piece at rear left side leg adjustment knob has been sheered off (as pictured).
