Hello,
I am brand new to this forum. I am starting to save up to buy the parts necessary to build my own semi-auto 1919A4. Of course, in the meantime I am happy to do research and convince myself that I need tons of extras.
The first thing I know I am going to want is a crank fire unit. The two main ones I see are Emory's and ohioblacksheep's. Both designs seem to have their proponents and both builders seem to be knowledgeable, friendly, and stand behind their products. Could any of you out there who have used both tell me what you thought of the differences?
It seems like Emory's are more widely used and everyone raves about them. That is a big plus. One of my hesitations with an Emory unit is that I know I want a crank fire before I will be able to afford spade grips, and it seems like you need a different unit if you get spade grips, and may even have to use his version of spade grips. I also like the look of the ohioblacksheep version a little better (with it installed the gun looks more original to me at least). The ohioblacksheep version, though, seems to be capable of only about 400RPM instead of 470-500RPM. Everyone also seems to say the Emory unit is very smooth once you are used to it, but I just don't find many opinions from users of the ohioblacksheep version.
Anyhow, thanks for any insight any of you can offer!
Josh
