So why is AA stopping production of the 1919??? Are the kits drying up.?? Is it because they were using Halo's 80% side plates and getting them dirt cheap?? now that has gone down the tube because of ATF intimidation?? I have a AA gun and I'm really glad I ordered it and got it on sale, when I did. I paid $950 for it and I got it in (4-6 weeks) because if I had started reading stuff on this web site before I ordered a gun from AA, I never would have risked ordering, a gun from them,, with all the bad mouthing they have gotten from people on this site, (deserved or not) I'm not taking any sides, I know nothing about the history, good bad or indifferent with regards to AA...I don't know...but what I do know is my gun shoots great, the park job, fit and finnish is great... I'm very,very happy with it. Now that being said...if a company told me 4-6 weeks and a year later I still had no gun etc I'd be pissed...some of what I have read..I have a friend who ordered a 50BMG from ALS on my recommendation, they are very very accurate guns, the delivery time was quoted as one year, he didn't get his gun for almost two years....he got the run around each time he called e mailed, "it will be done next month line " he was pissed and I felt really bad for my suggestion.. but an Answer you original question Black bear, Allied, ORF, John Mquire, TNW, along with a few places out of the shotgun news also prices are around $1200 these days... B.B. and TNW will run more.. or you can build one, for around $8-900, but that will not include tooling costs....or labor... B2B
