| What's New At Lakeside... |
Dennis J. Tippmann, founder of the Tippmann Arms Company, was a well known miniature gun maker in the mid 1980's.
He specifically manufactured working half scale models of the Browning machineguns. It fell out of existence in early 1986 with a limited number of guns being produced since it's first sales around mid 1983. Shortly after, Tippmann Arms Co. and it's designs, were purchased by another firm. The production of guns by the new company was also extremely limited and with their many other projects and ongoing anti-gun legislation the project slowed. The Tippmann Arms Company, again, fell short of the recognition it deserved. The entire project has been in storage for many years until
September 13, 2001. Lakeside Machine absorbed the remaining assets and
parts and began making the world famous miniatures once again.
Lakeside
Machine is also offering a line of accessories for the miniatures such as extra ammo cans, military marked sand bags, belt loading machines, ammo can holders and more.
Lakeside Machine has been featured
on the front cover of Small Arms Review Magazine for the March 2004 issue and
have been seen in feature articles on many other product as well.
There has also been a chapter written about the miniatures in the recent
book
"Hard Rain". For the
latest in the continuing development of the Micro-Beltfed legacy, browse this site

Lakeside Machine will continue to accept repairs and "tune-ups" on any and all existing models currently in
private collectors hands.
We have any and all replacement high wear parts on hand. Springs, pins, pawls, firing
pins, and any other parts are in stock. Contact us with the repair request that you may have. Your
micro-belt gun can be a tune up away from thousands of rounds of fun. (
NOTE: every original, including our miniatures, are hand tuned for fit and
function. Some replacement parts must be fit to the gun to ensure proper
reliable function.)
Our newest project is the LM7 belt fed upper
receiver for the AR15/M16 family of firearms. The LM7 is a revolutionary
rimfire feed system (RFS) that brings new life into your old AR15/M16
rifles. Having a 22 rimfire in a beltfed firearm is every grown boys
dream.........except now its a REALITY!! Browse this site for details in
ownership, accessories, and customers pictures and videos of their experiences
with this new system. Lakeside Machine has
recently progressed into a distributorship sales program for the entire
product line. The current stocking distributors can be contacted from this
