can somebody inform me on the 1919 so is it true that you have to shoot this 10 at a time, and you cant even the links for this anymore and even if you do you how would you shoot this ten at a time that sux?

Belted/Linked ammo over 10 rounds is considered hi-capacity and illegal. Awesome law huh!

[v_tec_209]

so what would be the poing of even buying a 1919 if you cant even shoot it without breaking the law?

At ten at a time this is still the most fun gun I own.

10 at a time in a semi is a lot of fun. Besides, you can always link more if you go to a free state to shoot.

The drickel busten loose with my preban links. Think a can holds about 250 rounds linked together lots of fun!

You can buy all the links you want. You just can't link up more than 10 per belt unless you had an 11 round belt prior to the ban.

I bought 10,000 links back in 1987! The serial numbers on my links prove it!

Hmmm. ok...

So did you keep all 10k linked up into high capacity belts for the last 20 years or do you just have a 10k pile of links from 1987?

Doesn't matter. As long as he had a belt of 11 or more links in his possession inside the state of CA at any point before 2000, he can link 'em all together now.

[CSACANNONEER]

I've got 1000s of links and several cloth belts. With the price of .308 these days, 10 round belts have become my friend.

[v_tec_209]

Damn nice....

Still only one belt though

Joking aside, I was fooling with him as most all of the 1919 stuff came in well after 1987. Yes ,there were some available then (very limited), but I don't believe there were ANY semi autos out yet as most approvals came about in later 90s' and early 2000. Heck the Izzy 1919 stuff were still in the armorys over there in '87 (including any "1987 marked links"). Now if Stormfeather had said early 90s, then it wouldn't have been such a red flag like "1987" is.

What was available here in the USA at that time were the cloth belts from WWII and some USGI links from the Korean and 'Nam eras and none of those were marked "1987" or with any sn to link to that date or any date after the 60's.

I'm new to the 1919s and have recently gained interest. Are all models of the 1919 legal to own in CA (semi of course)? Is there a such thing as a good or bad manufacturer of the 1919s?

Don't put a "flash hider" on it or you will be manufacturing an AW!
