Thats what I like about you, you are always positive, always looking to the positive side....

You and others asked a question,would we get more 1919SA guns....

I replied that yes we were getting more, I am immediately hit with a statement I made a long while ago, which WAS accurate a long time ago

Now that things have changed I get hell for having good news....

Perfect example why I get frustrated replying to questions on this board....

Stencollector you can convert them to 8mm? How hard is this to do, is it a kit or something?

Elvis put up some pics please.

John unlike some, some of us think your doing the best job you can with the idiot rules that bind your business. Its funny how a lot of people think that it is easy to import anything into this country, they have never tried and likely never with a firearm. I have tried to import parts for my business and they were stopped at the board and sent back. I have a pre order for an m305b and have been waiting without whinning becuase I understand how the world works and not just the way the instant gratification world of iphones and internet gives them. Or maybe its just me.

Have a good one, have fun and enjoy yourself. Thats what life is about.

They are easy to change caliber if you can find the parts , Marstar sold them in 308 & 3006 , Changing to 8x57 is not worth it unless lots of surplus 8x57 magically appears . Stencollector meant 8X63 which Marstar HAD lots of loaded in belts for just over $100. per 1000 rnds . But it was a one time shipment. Long ago sold out . As for what they look like . This is one of mine in 8x63

You can convert the M1919 to just about any reasonable cartridge. It is the ammo supply to feed them that is the problem. When you are letting 250 rounds loose in less than 5 minutes, it's kind of nice if you are not using $1 a round ammo.

As BC said, the swede 8mm well has dried up, and there is not likely to be any more of it. Several of us 1919 owners have managed to hoard a reasonable supply of the stuff. I believe it is what journalists would call a cache.

Marstar's deal on the 8mm was too good to be true. You bought a thousand rounds on belts for $120, you shot them off, then you sold the empty belts off for $25 each. I saved all the brass so someday that will get cashed in for recycling. It means the ammo amounted to about $15 a thousand, or in other words, cheaper than .22LR.

I believe guys in the US are adapting the 1919s over to 7.62X 39. As long as you stick with older cloth belts you are still good to go with the full capacity. Only if you convert to a modern post war link will you be bound by the 5 round rules.

heres one of my son shooting it in 8x63 swedish he was 4 at the time and makeing MG sounds even when we were not shooting (belt is in but chamber is EMPTY)

[Davie Sprocket]

Nice I did not know that, i have a bunch of the links for the belts that loop between each round but I have no idea what age they are. I have wanted one of these for years, when marstar had em I didn't have the money, now I have the money and can't find one. I was thinking about an mg34 but I would rather have m1919, If I had more money I would LOVE to get an m2 .50bmg, but alas that would mean some drastic reductions in lifestyle, although there is the line of credit, hmmm.

So you got a hundred rounds?

I'm sooo scared.




(actually, I recall you posting a number a while back. That amount would put my cache [or other calibres] to shame.)

I believe you are working on the old definition of a cache. The modern day journalist's definition is more than 20 rounds of any caliber. Two or more firearms, including pellet guns is an arsenal.
