Shooting a rare Model 1926 Hotchkiss Machine Gun

Too bad the French didn't at least adopt these on a partial/substitute standard basis. The strip feed isn't ideal but having a relatively reliable squad automatic weapon using the same 8x50mm Lebel cartridge as their rifles would have made ammo supply a lot simpler. This way units armed with the Berthier carbine and rifle could use this while units armed with the MAS 36 could be issued the FM 24/29.

If you still haven't any information, maybe that could help: http://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/Hotchkiss1922/Hotchkiss%201922%20manual%20(French).PDF , as i think the 1926 is a derivative from the 1922.
The ROF regulator's details are at page 50. They say it regulates the quantity of gases used, and when changing settings; you have to check for empty chambering ( too low ), and violent ejections, stuttering fire ( too high ); The 5 setting ( put lower ones for an untried weapon ) being the normal one, ejecting gases in excess.
That regulatort may not work properly if the system is clogged...
Hoping it was of any help. If so, and have any question about translating that, do not hesitate to ask: i know nothing about firearms, but i'm a local. :) -
Love this LMG in Battlefield 1!

Do you have any information on getting the adjustable gas port piece off, as well as what the square head bolt underneath does? I have a parts kit I am stripping down and they seem quite stuck- I want to make sure I know what they do (even in the manuals they dont seem to take that square head out?) before I touch them.

I'd love to talk to you about this gun. I'm an 07FFL/02SOT and I just bought a few Turkish M1922 parts kits to build up into posties. If you don't mind I'd love to pick your brain for a few minutes. Thanks, John, Maple Leaf Firearms, LLC, Celina, TX

Why not fire it from the shoulder and standing up like a squad automatic weapon ?
But besides that this is an AWESOME video ! -
No longer a crappy Arabic gun to muscle around is she? :-) Jealous!

so happy that I found a video about this. But I still can't find the Greek version of hotchkiss machine gun which has an upside down magazine like the Bren gun.

Interesting video of a very interesting gun! Keep up the good work: your channel might not have the largest following, but know that some people are watching - you've got yourself a fan from overseas!
