Are you talking about a browning model M-2 heavy barrel machine gun?If you are these machine guns were issued with a timimg and headspace set of gauges that were used to set the correct head space and timimg.I would start with screwing the barrel all the way into the receiver.Then turn the barrel back out 2 clicks.Then by using the operating handle on the side of the reciever,pull back enough to insert the head space gauge with the no go end in first between the breach block and the reciever and let the breach block go forward.Then press down on the butterfly trigger on the end on the reciever and see if you here a click of the firing pin releaseIf it does not repull the breach block open and invert the gauge with the go end inserted and try the steps again.If the firing pin releases then you have the proper headspace.If it does not then you will have to turn the barrel out 1 more click and repeat the steps mentioned.If the headspace is set properly then you can go on to the timing gauge and try the no-go end of the gauge first.If there is no click then invert this gauge and use the go end of the gauge and repeat the process.If you here a click of the firing pin going forward then you have the timing set.These steps should be followed or you will rupture the reciever block and it is possable to kill the operator of the gun.I am recalling this from 38 years ago as i was assigned a browning m-2 heavy barrel when I was in the marine corp.
