Reference check on the quality of military gun supply 1919A4

The fine print says add $200 for All USGI in 30 cal. My guess is that the "basement model" is Izzy 308. Nothing wrong with that. A little pricey though... Check out Allied Armament. They had a special going for less than $1K. Allied's gun is parked not blued.

Thank you dvader, actually what I am trying to figure out is the overall quality of their products before committing to a not yet produced PKM.
MGS Guns
Last account I had, these were ORF guns, but I could be wrong now. If it is an ORF gun, I have had good results from mine, but I know how to set headspace and operate the gun properly. The ORF guns had the best reputation at one time from the Forum, but have been "bashed" lately. Mine has been flawless. I have heard "bashing" about the AA guns too, but I think they are probably good guns. My friend from Iraq will be home in a few weeks and his AA should have arrived by then. I will get a chance to see how they operate then when I TEACH him how the gun operates and how to maintain it.
All manufacturers of the lower priced guns do have a few problems some time and they will take care of them IF IT IS THEIR FAULT, but you as the buyer has the resposibility to lear how to operate the gun and HOW TO TWEAK IT.
Right now, the best buy is from AA and if I was buying one for myself, this is what I would have on order.

Almost all of the 1919's they built/had built were built by wise lite arms. Nathan wise lite and tnw's old employee (and now business partner and employee here at allied) built all of MGS/wise lites guns. They are built identically to our builds, other than they are blued instead of parked and most if not all of them were built on original WWII .30o6 kits.

Military Gun Supply
I've been in their store several times. They're nice and will visit with you. I can't attest to their offerings of the semi-auto Finnish MP's, the ppSh41, the DP-28, their Bren, or the anticipated belt-fed. They didn't have anything available for display last Memorial Day weekend. Otherwise, it looks just like a military surplus arms dealer retail front - lots of SKS, Mausers, some MAS 49/56, Japanese rifles, Enfields, AR's, AK's, Century FALS, etc. hanging on the walls for sale.

Just a side note...
Just a side note I ordered from military gun supply and have yet to receive my parts. Called them back two weeks later found out they shipped parcel post might get here before my next birthday (I hope). My recommendation is make sure you get your items shipped UPS with a tracking number pay the difference its worth the frustration and the constant walks to the mailbox to be utterly disappointed...
Aside from that they are very professional and I guess I just assumed that everyone shipped UPS... So don't forget to ask how its gonna be shipped I read somewhere someone else had a shipping issue with them as well...
Guess it was my own fault...
