Hopefully you're good with tools, if not, you're going to need some help. Wouldn't hurt to have it anyways.

If you're buying a RSP, make sure it's straight, do not buy a discounted warped plate.

Tom @ KMP (tom@karmametalproducts.com) can do the internal machining for semi auto and set up a trigger with spring. Tell him you're a straggler for the Calguns group buy.

This guy also has parts and can fab up a shield/ammo can set up if you want. http://shop.ironcreationsllc.com/

I know sarco has kit's here. Don't know much about the 1919 though. Good luck and we want pictures or it didn't happen.

KMP is a good source for a RHSP and semi trigger and sear. The one draw back to there side plate is, it doesn't have the engraving.

Halo Mfg. ia another source for a side plate

You will have to get get the internals machined for semi auto, I can provide a couple of names.

Or you can do what I did, have John B. McQuire build it for you.

But as IntoForever suggested check out the 1919a4 site.

Good luck whichever way you go.

If I can find the e-mail, I know of a guy who can engrave your plate with your info. I'll post it later if I find it.

Go to KMP first (http://www.karmametalproducts.com/KAR_FIREARM_PARTS.htm) sometimes they have kits, sometimes not - but it saves time to get your kit from them as you'll be sending parts from the kit to them to sonvert to SA. If KMP doesn't have kits available, then Sarco.

Get the 70% RSP & SA trigger from KMP (the finishing of the RSP is the easiest part of the build - if you can't do that have someone else build it for you). I suggest having KMP also do the machining required to make it legal.

Get the rivits from Burnt Capital (http://burntcapital.com/default.aspx). Also get the drill bits & rivit tool from them, or if your in the San Diego area you can borrow mine.

You'll need a bucking bar - try contacting 50BMGBob on this site, he may be able to help.

Cali-V on this site did my engraving (do the engraving before you finish the RSP) & I love it - contact him for engraving.

Send me a PM with your address & I'll send you a copy of the AGI DVD (http://www.americangunsmith.com/app/...owning-1919-A4)

Here's an outfit that is set up for engraving.

They are a pretty simple build. Knowing where you are located may point you towards someone local to you that may be able to help you.
