This is a very desirable rifle for the US Military collector. These rifles were manufactured using original GI M1919 parts set that was assembled on to a new made NFA-legal semi-automatic side plate/receiver. During the manufacturing process they were engineered or remanufactured to be able to fire in a semi-automatic mode only making them completely NFA/ATF compliant. The Model 1919 machine gun was developed and fielded shortly after WWI and was used extensively throughout WWII, Korea and even into Vietnam. They proved to be one of the most durable, reliable and effective machine guns and were heavily used by the US Army and USMC. This model was made to duplicate the weight, feel, functioning and firing (in a semi-automatic mode) of the original 1919A6 guns. The side of the receiver is marked "U.S. GOVERNMENT/ MODEL 1919 A4/A6 MACHINE GUN/ CALIBER .30 SEMI AUTO/ VERNONIA OR." over serial number, 000317. Includes an Israeli marked tripod adjustable for traverse and elevation, Israeli marked buttstock, front bipod, non-disintegrating cloth ammunition belt, cloth belt loader, Whammer II Gatling style trigger attachment, a large number of disintegrating steel belt links, two technical manuals, and ATF letter of approval of the design as a semi-automatic only firearm.
