Atlantic firearms has them in stock. anyone know about these. how do they run? are they picky about ammo? What else do I need to know about them? Thanks

I'd say ask Fishpaw, as he's big into beltfed guns, but I don't think he's active on the forum. Maybe send him an email.

Thanks I'll shoot him a PM

Your best bet is join the 1919A4 forum and see if John McGuire from Tennessee is still building them. He has a reputation for excellent 1919 builds.

John McGuire posted a few months ago that he was still building, I think it's $500 with your kit and side plate. At current market price for kits (~$1200) you're looking at $1800-$2k. But this should give you great resale value. Not sure what Atlantic is changing.

If you can get John Mcguire to build one, go that route, he does excellent work. His guns run like a champ.

These are not ARs. You need to learn how they work and headspace them regularly. If you want to run links you should get a protector. Lots of little things like that.

 

 

 

 

Oh, and you can be killed cleaning the weapon.

It's very helpful to team up with a local buddy to learn the ins and outs. Plenty of 1919A4 owners in Jersey, go to the forum as suggested.

Ouch! I've had my fair share of staples and I'm not looking for more. Thanks guys bUT I've gone in a different direction. Gonna buy 2 guns instead of 1 1919a4. I'll learn more about them and then I will get it in the future.

Do yourself a favor. Buy a parts kit and stash it. Mine was $600 3 years ago, look where they are now. Once you have the kit you are good.
