Lee are you talking bourbon injection or machine guns?

The government proclaiming that we CAN"T own a weapon like that, is exactly why responsible citizens SHOULD own weapons like that. jd

Who determines which nut case is responsible. 90% of the people with mental problems can legally purchase a firearm.

It can be difficult to determine who IS responsible.
It's not so hard to determine those who are NOT responsible.

I'm not a mental health expert, but I'm smart enough to know that folks who have violent felony convictions and more arrests than they have fingers, should probably be put on a waiting list to prove their integrity before purchasing 'ANY firearm including a machine gun.

And of course, the people who I described above will always find a way to get their hands on a gun anyway sooooo???

I want to see someone hunt wild hogs at night with something like this. Set out some bait and get rid of some pests.

In my first career, we used a UH-1 with M-240's in each door to hose pigs at stock dams about sundown to get the noses for the bounty. Was 10 bucks a nose and great fun to say the least.

I have an opportunity to purchase a full auto Browning m1919a4 and wondering what a decent market value is on one of these. I'm sure it is worth more than I'm willing to pay for it but I figured this opportunity doesn't come along very often. I would most likely never use it. It would just be a collectors piece and sit in the vault.
Also how rare are these? Tried finding some for sale online and came up with very little. If this is that rare of an opportunity to purchase one then I don't want to pass it up.

will depend if an all original matching numbered gun or one put back to service with a new sideplate after dewat. Blind guess is 15-20K.

Yea 6.5grendel asked the question in May of 2022, I am sure the decision was made several years ago. But I sure understand why he didn't announce his decision on an open forum. I hope he is enjoying it or not. I can see where something like this could be fun, but also could be a worry every time you left the house.

Not much knowledge here on the 1919 but one arrived at a CMP clinic we ran once. Semi auto but was still amazing. All I can recall is it was a rebuilt from a company that does belt fed and want to say the guy was $4-$7000 into it. An MG42 was gonna be a bit more. Other than the smile on everyone's face it ran after we got a little lube into it.

I was amazed recently when a friend who is a class III dealer who sells a lot of full auto rifles/sub machine guns/machine guns enlightened me by advising me that the full auto machine guns and sub machine guns appreciate in value substantially annually. Full auto purchase seems to be one of the better investment decisions a man can currently make. Wild. Per NFA restrictions, any applicant who is approved for a full auto machine gun is only legally authorized to purchase such a weapon if it existed prior to 1986 I believe. So there are a limited amount of legally accessible firearms that comply with these stupid restrictions. Limited supply is what drives prices higher every year. Substantially higher I might add. I would buy the machine gun you are asking about. For sure. Of course pending approval for the same.

I am for sure going to be applying for Clsss III approval and buy a sub machine gun. Most likely an Uzi or a MP5. As soon as I can.

Get an Uzi, built like a tank and you don't have to worry about the problems with roller delayed blow back.

I looked at that monster rectangular steel block. My dad was in Army right after WWII. Army had to refill its ranks so the war guys could go home. He left HS a year early, joined the Army with some high school buddies. He joined the Airborne. He told me carrying that Browning was a real challenge. He was a machinegunner. He was in for two years, got the GI Bill and started the rest of his life. The Army went all over the country visiting high schools to get guys to enlist. My dad had to get his mom to sign an age waiver, which she was glad to do.

You can rent full auto's at a local indoor range
1919s, HKs, Glocks, Beretta, AKMs, M 1s etc.
Their MP 5K suppressed is a real hoot.

Yep, only full auto arms that are transferable to anyone who can legally own a firearm are the ones that were registered with ATF prior to 1986. Also, the making and transferring of full auto arms into the non licensed civilian market after '86 was prohibited, hence the limited supply of transferable full auto firearms and the meteoric price increases. A WWII full auto, US or German, that is all matching numbered parts is worth mucho denero and still rising due to well heeled collector interest.
