Unidentified 1919A4 part?

[cal]

I have just recently received my 1919a4 and began learning to field strip the firearm. After I installed my spade grips and reassembled, I noticed a washer in the area I was working in, but not quite sure if it belongs to the 1919A4. Everything seems to work fine, passes the function test. I'm just a bit nervous as I don't have much knowledge in this platform and its parts. Does this washer belong to the 1919A4 or am I just stressing over nothing. Well I would like to thank you in advance for any replies.

I dunno WTF it is but I'm guessing it goes down on your spade grips where the pin slides across and under your trigger? Maybe near the cotter pin or something? I dunno...

I guess the lack of replies suggest I'm worrying over nothing. Just wasn't sure if it was something important that came loose when I was using the rubber mallet to get on/off the back plate. Guess I'll keep looking to see if it fits anywhere.

Without that part, your gun will go full auto!

Just kidding. Really, I haven't taken mine apart before so, I have no idea what it is.

I checked the illustrations in "Browning Machine Gun Shop Manual", by Frank Iannamico.

I am unable to find any parts that look like what you show in the picture. I paid special attention to the illustrations relating to the back plate / grip assembly.

All of which is to say, it beats me as to what it might be.

Thanks for the effort though. I appreciate it.

Does it look like it broke off of a larger part?

Looking at it again, it does seem to have chipped off another part. DAMN! I feel dumb now. Time to look for what i screwed up.

Glad I could help.

Alright, I believe I started this thread over nothing. The washer doesn't match any of the finish on the internal parts and I think it's from something else I was working with. After I have continued to fiddle with the 1919a4, it won't charge now. Pulling back the charging handle, releasing it, activating the trigger, with no sound of dry fire. I have a lot to learn before I'll be able to take it out.
