Totally Unrelated: I found this photograph of a McClellan saddle converted by the addition of saw bucks to form a pack saddle to carry the machine rifle. I do not know if this was for carrying the Browning Automatic Rifle or the Benet-Mercie Machine Rifle.

I do not know if this is a test fixture or something extemporized by a unit for use in the field in lieu of the Aparejo or the Phillips Pack Saddle.
