Newbie...been on the lookout

adamsredlines · Sep 10, 2016

Greetings from OK. Been a lurker for a while reading up on these things and finally joined about a month ago. I'd been on the fence about having one built from a parts kit vs. buying one done then I went to talk to the local machine gun gunsmith who had no interest in such a build so that dictates my direction for now.
Big fan of John Browning guns...I guess thats my "niche" in collecting and thought I would venture away from his more traditional stuff and learn up on the M1919's. I'm sure I'll have some more questions along the way. So far I've found most info I've been looking for but I wont be afraid to ask if I cant find it.
Anywho, thanks for having me...hope to join the crowd real soon!

At my worst I owned:
1 full auto 1919 transferable
12 semi auto 1919
10 post sample bolts

5 unbuilt kits

That sounds like a belt feed version of the 12 Days of Christmas.

If you want one built, I suggest John McGuire.
