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? |

Quoted: 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. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/1087/70430.JPG View Quote Mine is just the 3 leg 'tall' AA style for shooting while standing, not dat der fancy transformer model. |

As long as you link 10-rounds together at a time with your pre-ban links.
Clown fucking world. |

Quoted: 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.

Glad I bought a kit when they were around $300.
I guess I should build it someday. |

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.

How difficult would it be to convert it to the Stinger configuration?

Quoted: I want one that's been converted to a stinger https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/420759/212BE386-69BC-4414-A128-1E78AC083FAE_jpe-1788071.JPG View Quote |

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

Quoted: How difficult would it be to convert it to the Stinger configuration? View Quote Here’s a video of a guy talking about the modifications he had to make to his replica USMC ANM2 Stinger Machine Gun |

Quoted: 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. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: @RHR_12 were the Stingers made out of 1919's?

@Spartikis
If you own a FA anything, the last thing you worry about is the cost of ammo. If you do, maybe you should rethink your gun choices. |

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! |
|
I should put my 1919 kit on gun broker. Had it 20 years and still not built. What are they going for these days?
|
|
There used to be a NY legal BAR clone with no compensator. The mags are all 50
years old so they're legal if you register them |
|
They were an interesting prospect when there were 8mm conversions and you could get mountains of 8mm for cheap.
Shoulda coulda woulda. |

@Raccoonwhisperer
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. |

Quoted: How hard to convert to full auto if you're a SOT? View Quote 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. |

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.
