On America's first ever Usurpation Day, this notice serves to remind all you fine domestic terrorists that this here beltfed firearm is still legal in these United States.  

For how long? Who knows.  

See you in the gulag

Always wanted one since I found one in Iraq.  It was made by Buffalo arms.  When I was single wouldn’t have been an issue.

Kits are like $1500 - $2000 now. $3500 seems fair for that.

What attributes make it 50 state legal?

Cool.  I have one for my AR-50.  (I made it myself.)  I got the tripod for about $250 when Sportsman's Guide was still cool.

No pistol grip, no flash suppressor, no collapsible stock, no bayonet mount, no grenade launcher, no shoulder thing that goes up...

It's not even technically a rifle.

I guess I should build it someday.

In my state the pistol grip has to "protrude conspicuously below" the receiver in order to be an "AW" feature.  I believe the expired federal AWB and at least some other existing state AWBs are similar.

Always wanted one, but I'm a more practical shooter in terms of t he guns I owned before the boating accident that is, but it may be time to pull the trigger on one and given the talk of the kits and such, that price seems reasonable.

I believe they were made out of the aviation version, the AN/M2.  Not sure of the differences in design, but I think it’s just a variant of the 1919.  Someone who knows more about them may be along shortly to correct me.

Kind of pointless in semi-auto, and at $1+ a round would make for an expensive range day

They had a faster fire rate, like double.

Is this the mount you have? Where the entire gun reciprocates on the tripod springs like it's supposed to?

I've been trying to find this one.

Yes, they did make crank kits for these at one point. And, OP is referring to how the ban-able features are non-existent with this firearm - no stock, bayonet lug, pistol grip that "protrudes conspicuously below", etc.. Almost all states "assault weapon" laws were based off of the federal AWB that's now sunsetted and was mainly aimed at "battle rifle" style firearms. But, may as well go big or go home: built an M2 HB instead!

I'd LOVE to build one of these and do a 7.62x54r conversion. I still got plenty of cheap surplus ammo to feed one of these beasts!

They were an interesting prospect when there were 8mm conversions and you could get mountains of 8mm for cheap.


Shoulda coulda woulda.

Probably more trouble than it's worth.

The right side plate for semis is wider than original, to deny the original open bolt components.

You'd have to remove and replace the right side plate and purchase the OG bolt and fire control group. It would be easier to just build a kit.

I have one I built.  Can use 8mm or 30-06 or 308.

I modded it to shoot blanks for a certain 'movie shoot' years ago.

The extreme majority of Brownings MGs  are not open bolt originally.  A M1919 definitely is not.

It's one of their weaknesses in full auto, since combined with a fixed barrel you can get them to start cooking off rounds.

I have the exact gun the OP listed that I am going to list in the EE if someone is interested. It has an Izzy A4 kit on it also (bipod and stock) plus extra barrels and a linker.

I'll see if I can find the info for that part, I know the guy that used to make them.

ETA his website used to be beltfedshooters.com, I think he still posts on Calguns as 19194me. He posts here as Realwar.
