View Full Version : 1919 builders?
I have a problem with impulses...
Anybody build a 1919a4 from parts kit? I need help...... With the kit..... [LOL]
What is your problem. Haven't built one but have bought plenty of parts.
No problem other than my impulse buys.... And the fact that I've never even handled one, let alone, built one.
I got mine from lurch, he knows his 1919s. It's lots of fun but not so simple to get working even when completely built. Good luck with your build. I'd love to have a 1919 day at some point ��
now that I think about it that's probably my 1919 in his avatar at this point

So I take it you bought a kit and now you want to build it? From what I hear it isn't to hard with the right tools. I suggest you roll over to the 1919a4.com and look around. There are guys over there that can give you plenty of pointers and even will let you borrow the couple of specific tools that are needed.
If you are ever down in the Elizabeth area I can show you around one and if it's an open weekend we can run out to the range and you can put some rounds through mine. Though if you do it may end up costing you a fortune in the end. They are that much fun.

It is... Are you having trouble with it?

Same goes for me if you want to get a once over and see how they work. I'm a little closer and very serious about a 1919 day.

No trouble at all, took me a minute to figure out how to get it to fire well. Between a bunch of reman 308 and learning to headspace it well I had some trouble at first. I had a bunch of garbage reman ammo that nothing liked not my scar or the 1919. Learning the rifle and getting the linking machine were the cure to all my issues.
Yeah, I got a kit and I'm waiting for my profile to be activated over at the 1919 forums. I'm a visual guy so once I get the kit in hand I can start piecing it together and figuring it out. I've hear they are pretty easy. Once you get the internals machined for semi then its just some riveting.
I'd love to take you guys up on your offer and play around with them. (Mainly take them apart and see how they work)

PM me if you want to do that. Lurch knows more about the 1919 than I do but I know enough at this point and am not all that far from Windsor.

The semi's are a lot harder to get running right and really need the right ammo.
1919 range day for sure when it warms up. I need to get mine out and get it ready for the big shoot in May.
What's this shoot you speak of?

Lurch said the right things. Go over to 1919a4.com and ask lots and lots of questions. If you want to shoot one, lemme know.

Depends how Brian's turns out, with him being maybe 5 minutes from me ;)

Seems like at least three at this point.
As soon as I get kit in hand I'll start getting deep in it. I know I have to send off the internals for machining and get a RSP. Its more of the tooling and the, "put this part here and this one here" side of it that I need help with.
BTW the kit is in '06 also

If you have any questions or need a complete reference model you are more then welcome to come see mine or I can send you pics as needed.
