Just saw a semi 1919a4/a6 by MA&T. I have never heard of them or cannot find anything on the web. Are they a reputable builder?

Was there any other info I have never heard of them and did it say where they are out of?

 

[SF180A]

I saw no other information. I just saw an ad on Gunbroker that said it was build by MA&T Inc.

One of our newbie members bought one .
It uses the three denial island design .
The link ejection port is cut back too far to allow a right rear cartridge stop to be installed but it does work in the 30 06 cartridge format without issue ,as for other cartridges the 1919 can use .308, 8mm ,762 x 54r well :dunno: !

Just looked at all 10 semis they had listed and could not find it?

Gunbroker #502272578. Put a space between 1919 and a4. Looks like a good price, I was just wondering about the quality of the build.

Can't vouch for the pricing on the 1919. They sure do have some nice toys on Form 3's over there though! The TRW M14 caught my eye!!

OK now I see it ands I am not a fan of the rivets it looks like they welded in some areas. Also the breech lock cam screw is wrong but that is not a deal breaker but what's up with the right rear cartridge stop? Also there are extra holes in the left side plate like it had the option for dual feed? if it goes cheap it would be worth reworking but not worth the reserve price IMHO http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=502272578

thanks Toolman, that is the kind of comment I was looking for.

Ahh..so many guns, so little money. If I could just come up with those 6 little numbers LOL

Yes, but did you catch the Winchester M14 they show? The TRW is a weld up, but the Winchester appears (and they state) is uncut.

As to that Browning, I am with toolman all the way. It's over priced for what it is. That shouldn't sell for even $2k, in my opinion. It's definitely welded and has those non standard features mentioned. Pass.
