February 13, 200917 yr Author Browning 1919A4's, I sell the parts in my business for home builders. To be built as semi auto's..There are 50 pictured. Its metal, so it counts . Some of the things I make requires some blacksmith work also, I make the mounts for these and the 50BMG's to. I figured most folks that like blacksmithing like guns to..
February 13, 200917 yr Any straight-pull versions available? My authoritarian government thinks it knows better than me and won't let me have semi-auto rifles except in .22 rimfire calibres. Purdy guns though... shame YOUR government thinks it knows better than YOU and won't allow registrations of new MGs! :D
February 13, 200917 yr im not a gunsmith but have made a few 50 bmg single shot for my father and cousin in arkansas and arizona were they let you have things like that here in jersey there trying to ban basicly everything
February 13, 200917 yr Author These are still legal in the US. but who knows with Obamalamadingdong in there. You can build your own firearm as long as you can not convert it back to FA. its just some rules you have to follow. These sell in the $500.00 range. about half of these are spoken for.
February 13, 200917 yr ya there still legal so are most gun through out the usa there just trying outlaw the ammo now so we can have all the guns we want just no ammo so i guess i better start colecting slingshots like our friends to the north
February 13, 200917 yr Which bullets are they trying to ban? I recon the 50 cals would be the first ones to go. What bullets does the MG use? Its a nice gun for 500 bucks i admitt.
February 13, 200917 yr $500? For a 1919? Is it the whole gun or just parts? If it's the whole thing, sign me up! haha I live in the people's democratic republic of Kalifornia so it might be a problem. I know they're legal here, my friend has one but I'm not sure about shipping. Are you an FFL?
February 13, 200917 yr Author on the bullet thing, some states are trying to say they have to be micro stamped, and all ammo has to be destroyed if not. I doubt it will ever fly. the 1919 comes with everything but the rt side plate, to build a legal semi auto, you need to machine the internal parts for semi only, thats about $100.00, a trigger and sear is $115.00, a semi only sideplate is about $150.00 and up, I dont sell that part as it is a FFL item, They are available at many places. you will need rivets, and tools to build it. it is a fun project. no you do not have to send it to the atf for aproval, yes it is legal to build your own firearm, so long as it is not a full auto, nor can be readily converted into one. you can save a few hundred dollars by doing it yourself. these can be bought done for around $1400.00 and up. You will also need to parkerize it or duracoat it to make it purdy.. I notice parkerizing is not one of the finnishes to many here may use. it is easy to do and gives a great rust resistant finnish. if there is any intrest in it I can show you how its done some time..

February 13, 200917 yr Sweet! Reminds me of many a day spent in the armory cleaning M16A2's 1911's 60's M14's and Ma Deuces hour after hour after hour. Gee thanks Gunny, nah, of course I didn't have anything better to do on saturday in Hawaii. Ain't it great to get "volunteered" by your everloving staff nco's???!!!
February 14, 200917 yr those are cool, and yes brings back memory's of being voluntold by NCO's to help in the armory.
February 14, 200917 yr Author they are cool just to sit and look at.. had to pick them up out of the floor today, got work to do, thats where I park the fork lift. . I never got used to putting my toys away when I was a kid either.
February 22, 200917 yr I am not a gunsmith, but my SIL is. He is a Navy Gunners mate. He would love to see your stuff and talk shop.
February 22, 200917 yr Those are really cool. I have to say it woudl be really cool to shoot a 50 cal even if it is semi auto. Thats a BIG round.
February 22, 200917 yr In Illinois, they are trying to ban ALL guns 50cal and larger. That WILL affect A LOT of the muzzleloaders, too. I have several in 50 and a 62 smoothbore flinter. A buddy of mine has a 69cal smoothbore flinter. As long as we can find soft lead, we can make our own black powder, if need be!! Edited February 22, 200917 yr by CurlyGeorge
February 22, 200917 yr Though i normally do not get involved in the political arena, this bullet/gun ban/restriction is one that I will get into. I encourage all to do the same.
February 22, 200917 yr Chuck, I hardily agree. This is one freedom that we do not want to loose. All they have to do is look at Australia and some of the other countries. NOT a pretty picture!!
February 23, 200917 yr Not sure if I am a trained gunsmith, but I do like to throw a rifle together from time to time. Here is a pic of my Mauser that I did. 6.5 x 55 Sweed barrel. Working on two others, Mauser 308 and a total build Chicopee falling block. PS: Nice work on your rifles there.
February 24, 200917 yr Author gunsmiths are over rated:rolleyes: Nice build, I have built several firearms, mostly belt feds, a few Ak's, AR's, some home builts from mostly Mcmaster carr, although i had to buy a barrel. i can talk you in to a belt fed and there will be no scope needed, just lots of money for ammo:D
February 24, 200917 yr Hey I like that, " A Belt Feed Varmint Buster". I do have a question though, I would like to tackle a .50 BMG. Do you do your own barrels ? Also , what are you getting for a barrel. Thanks Again, nice work on your production line you have there.
