Is Legal in CA?

I know is way over price. But it is a good looking gun

Unless it is a listed weapon, it would be legal with a mag lock or set up as featureless.

Way over priced? Do you have a source on parts kits? If so, how much are they and what kind of quantities can you get? Do you know how much work in involved to convert these to semi auto? Can you do the conversion and build?


That said, don't think "mag lock". Think "featureless" and take advantage of all a belt fed has to offer. But, I've seen these in person and I wouldn't ever pay more than what a 1919 is going for for one.

If you have the legal +10 belts then no doubt go featureless.

What didn't you like about them?

They make M240 dress up kits for the 1919's

Already semi-auto

personally, I would get one of these instead



though for the price($4k) I would buy a bolt action .416, .338LM or .510DTC first.

Id rather a M2

We know but OOH had to design a trigger to make it semi only.

exactly.
More so I think what CSA was trying to imply was where else are you going to get one? Thus it is hard to call it expensive, because it is technically also the cheapest one the market!

I was talking to a FFL I was buying a 1919 from and I commented that I was amazed that the 1919 was legal. Due to the trigger and pistol grip being in the spot it is on the 1919 it is legal. He mention he could spade grip a M-60 (think vietnam door gunner configuration) and make it CA legal for me as well but in its normal configuration it wouldn't be CA legal. Based on that I would say the 240 isn't CA legal in that configuration due to where the action is.

They also mention it in their shipping restrictions link for CA.

A 1919 is NOT a rifle, but a crew serviced weapon, hence the assault weapon BS does not apply to it.

How Ca would see the M60 or M240 pattern, Im not sure.

Wrong. It would not be hard to legally get one in Ca. You might have to go through a secondary dealer but that's not hard to do.

It'd have to be "featureless" (move the trigger or come up with some really funky stock setup) or have mag lock (I've yet to see a fixed 10 round mag for a M-240!). But as designed, you couldn't legally get them.

[WW2Buff]

Well being that Henderson defense came out with a fixed mag MG42 a few years ago it's more than possible to legally have both configurations.
