About a month ago, I was looking for a new parts kit for my next Black Bear build. I called OOW and asked for someone that could help me with a special request on a 1919A4 parts kit. The nice lady answering the phone put me on the phone with "Rick".

I had heard some of the Israeli 1919 guns had chrome trunnions. So I asked Rick if they happen to have any of the Israeli parts kits that have a chrome trunnion. He says "yep...we have em. They're $50 extra". So I ordered one at $450 and had it shipped directly to Black Bear. I haven't seen it (and likely won't for 6 months because Black Bear is 6 months back-ordered), but Mark at Black Bear tells me the chrome looks good and the kit looks like it was hardly used.


I'll post pics in about 6 months.

Yes...they will sell the chrome trunnion separately. OOW quoted me $250 just for the chrome trunnion. If you buy the whole parts-kit, it's only $50 more for the chrome trunnion. It sounds like to me they don't want to split up the chrome trunnions from the parts kit.
