Yes it is.

shame its not fullauto hehe

Yeah. Unfortunately, since there was so much crime with fully-automatic weapons by people that can't be trusted(which, in all actuality, there wasn't), congress passed laws banning sale of newly manufactured fully-automatic firearms, which most criminals will abide by, because they follow the laws.

cant you get the license for one?

It is possible in some states, but not this one, to own a fully-automatic weapon produced or converted before May of '86 you're only required to pay a $200 tax for a stamp, have a background check, get fingerprinted and have your chief local law enforcement agent sign off on a form. The price of old automatic weapons is far higher than semi-auto ones, due to the rarity of them.

i thought you could....

You can in most states, but Class 3 firearms, such as supressors, machineguns, short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns are regulated much more closely than other firearms.

i know

do these guns have a high recoil?

also, the sale of fully auto firearms is also prohibited in canada. semi-auto is fine though.

I heard there are full-auto airsoft rifles... is this true?

yes, but they're air soft so no one cares

well over here they're still illegal x3

also, in the province where I live, it doesn't take a license to have an airsoft gun, so gangs are getting full of them and it starts to bother the government.

but....they shoot little plastic bbs that leave little welts for like a minute....why is that a problem...its more like a neusence

uh, I'm talking about those guns that shoots lead pellets, and sometime "parachute" pellets.

that's not air soft? (I don't know the term in english. in french it's called "pistolet a air comprimé")

oh, i think we just call those bb guns or pellet guns

oh. my mistake x3

its ok, you didnt know

ok, im jealous as all hell. love this gun.

So do I. It's pretty nice, but when I got it, the bolt wouldn't return to battery after being pulled to the rear. So I hosed it out, greased it up, and headspaced it. Seems to be fine, but I haven't had a chance yet to put any live rounds through it. Once it warms up I should be able to take it out and empty a couple of those belts.

what state are you in?

Upstate New York. I don't particularly like it here, but I do have interests here now, so I really can't leave. I had to find pre-ban cloth belts to feed this with.

so its pretty much impossible to shoot it anywhere on auto. that sucks.

In this state it is. That, however, does not restrict a high rate of fire on semi-automatics, or crank-fire devices.

Reminds me of my grandpa

Oh? Why's that, he have one of these, too?

...no, but its oldas hell, just like my grandpa. I guess I like old school things, like that weapon, and my grandpa. where'd you get that?

Somebody built it from an Israeli parts kit and a semi-auto only right side plate. Oddly enough, it's the right hand side plate on these that're considered the receivers and serialized. I had been looking into building my own, same as he did, but he had to sell his to feed his other kids. It's in .308 instead of .30-06, so there's no cheap Greek surplus on the market, and it gets expensive to fill up a belt.

oh

If you're interested, http://1919a4.com/ has loads of information on building and maintaining your semi or auto 1919, and various others. While mine's a 1919A6, the only difference there is that it has a bipod, stock, and isn't designed to be mounted.

Home Security ?

And then some! If all else fails, I can still hit people with it. It's about 40lbs.

Or ya just set it up near an open window and it's open burglar-season.

The other day I received a large box in the mail. I took this box, cut a hole in the box, and put it up behind the door. I put the 1919 behind the hole, with the muzzle sticking out, and left. When I came home from whereever I had gone(I honestly don't remember myself) they had defaced it with "ALMOST A FORT". So, I took a marker and made a little edit to "ALMOST TEAM FORTRESS". Then someone changed it to "ALMOST A-TEAM FORTRESS". Then I wanted to get back in my room, so I took it down.

If you tell me you ebay'ed that Im gona die...that I didnt first! XD

Nah, eBay has banned anything firearms related. This was at a gun show.

Which one? I've been to one in Arizona but want to find some more around Texas area.

This show was in Rochester. There's another one at the end of the month here, but it's not going to have the same kind of goodies as at a show in the south like that.

Dont forget to piss on the barrel if it overheats too much

Piss? Here I've heard diet Dr. Pepper works wonders. Maybe I should switch to diet Pepsi, then?

Lol, yea. Now all you have to do is get an Mg42!! Then you'd have some bitching MG's.

I'm actually in the market for one if you know someone who has a spare.

If I did I'd be all over it.

Just go to Gunbroker and search for either MG42 or Yugo M53 (postwar MG42s made in Yugoslavia)

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vi.....Item=116837145

THe original MG42s were chambered in 7.92mm and the Yugos were chambered in 8mm Mauser, however, Germany still uses the MG42, now chambered in 7.62mm NATO and redesignated as the MG3, so barrels in .308 are readily available.

A company in Texas named Wise-Lite Arms sells the semi auto only receivers for the MG42, add a parts kit and you got yourself a semi only MG42.

that is... some heavy artillery

I'm not gonna lie... I want to be friends with that o.o

It has pretty expensive tastes. It only likes premium brass-cased .308 in large quantities.

You say is an IDF M1919, so I figure is chambered for 7.62mm NATO and not .30-06 like the originals; Man, I want to add one of those to my WW2 weapons collection so badly. An M1919A4 with an A6 kit on the side would be the perfect partner for my rifles.

Yep, it's only for .308. In hindsight, a cheaper caliber would've been nice. It certainly gets the job done, though!

Yup, sure does.

Will deffo keep their heads down.
Or off in that matter...

i can has?

The barrel extention frame seems to have been bent last time we were out shooting it, but once it's back up and running, you can borrow.

FANTASTIC!
