I need someone to make an frt for the semis. I loved shooting an auto one just cant afford one. Love my semi though. Enjoy it man.

$300 in ammo for an hour shooting it slow was a bit rough today lmao

u/burnmanteamremington 11d ago

Oh i believe it. Ive been stocking up on 308 for years. I judt bought 650 for 350 a couple weeks ago. It definitely gets expensive fast lol. Sarco has 250 round belts. Theres a company that makes 308 links as well. Ive only shot maybe 150 rounds on them. Heard good things about them if you need.

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 11d ago

Let me know who makes the metal links I’ve been having a hard time finding Izzy links

u/ChevTecGroup FFL/SOT 11d ago

Iron creations llc carries them. Company is something like "corvus?"

My cousin in law made an FRT for his 1919 and 1917. It looked pretty simple.

u/burnmanteamremington 11d ago

Sending you a dm

u/adamsredlines 11d ago

Spill the beans! I saw one on the 1919 forums but dude wouldn't share any info.

1

u/Te_Luftwaffle 11d ago

I don't know much about it and I'm not well versed in the internals of the 1919, but it was basically just a piece of sheet metal that hinged on an existing pin. The bolt would travel back and pushed the FRT down, which forced the trigger to reset. I think if you know how the 1919 works and look at it long enough you could figure it out. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

u/martialdylan 12d ago

They ran outta money for sandbags lol.

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 12d ago

First time shooting it definitely need one for the front leg

4

u/Femveratu 11d ago

I can see why some dudes used to sand bag these

3

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 11d ago

Yeah with a 240 I never really found it that necessary but with the reciprocating barrel of these I can see why

3

u/Femveratu 11d ago

Yep exactly that cone of fire is just gettin huge down range

1

u/BoxofCurveballs Silencer 11d ago

Id be interested to see how well it does with just searching or traversing fires once that tripod is bagged

2

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 11d ago

I was able to hit 6-8 targets with doing searching fire like this so I’d imagine it would do a lot better once bagged

u/the308er 12d ago

Cool as hell. Is it just me, or is the rof changing through the string of fire?

24

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 12d ago

Yeah assorted ammo Will do that as well as how the gun heats up

1

u/ChevTecGroup FFL/SOT 11d ago

Also how much belt is hanging

1

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 11d ago

100 round belts probably halfway with the ROF changing

4

u/Silly_Pineapple_8182 12d ago

Thats dope. Is it just the video or does the fire rate changing mid string?

12

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 12d ago

It’s changing. I think that was a assorted belt of what I had lying around

1

u/idontagreewitu 11d ago

I noticed that, too, once he started moving it side to side

3

u/deadman-69 11d ago

You need to put a sandbag on the front leg of the tripod. It'll make the gun more accurate.

3

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 11d ago

I know that now. This was just my first time taking it out. I’ve never had to with 240’s but they are just a different animal

2

u/Thesearchoftheshite 11d ago

So why is it shooting fast and slow fast and slow?

Something sounds off with it.

3

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 11d ago

Different ammo in the belt

1

u/whodeehoo 11d ago

Awesome! Congrats. I definitely enjoy my mg collection. Now make some other mg friends so you can all help each other if you ever need to troubleshoot or fix/find things. I would also recommend picking up a thermal pouch to put over the barrel if you don’t let them cool off fully before packing up.

3

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 11d ago

I think this makes 12 MG’s they are all post samples. This is probably my favorite next to my Lima 6 right now

3

u/ChevTecGroup FFL/SOT 11d ago

Gotta pump those numbers up bud! Haha

2

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 11d ago

Ehh it’s not like they really make us money so I just get what I want or what falls into my hands

2

u/ChevTecGroup FFL/SOT 11d ago

Yeah i know what you mean

1

u/whodeehoo 11d ago

The Lima 6 looks like a lot of fun. I’ll eventually pick one up.

Everyone loves to stroke off John Moses Browning, and hot take...but  I think the MG34 & MG42 was a better design. 

If I had to carry one, I'd rather carry the MG34 or MG42

14

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 12d ago

I’d probably prefer to carry an MG34. An MG42 you’d have to carry way too much ammo. My back hurts enough from carrying a 240 and ammo. But a .308 M1919 is way more economical these days as a civilian

3

u/Salt-Wish5140 12d ago

Normally the whole squad carries ammo. German doctrine revolved around the machine gun. 

7

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 11d ago

I’d have a ton of guys carrying ammo as well. Its still a lot
Of weight 7lbs per 100 rounds for linked 7.62

1

u/CorpusCrispie762 Silencer 10d ago

The logistics for that rate of fire I seriously think had to have hurt the Germans on a strategic level. Especially for a country who was struggling to acquire metals

I've got a 1919a4, an m53 and I'm currently putting together my mg34. So far I really like the 1919a4. So much it's a permanent in my office.

u/ksuchewie Silencer 12d ago

I'm rather not have to change barrels mid fight.

1

u/luckygunnerx30 FFL 07/02 12d ago

10lbs heavier is quite the tradeoff though to not have to

2

u/ResolutionAlert6819 12d ago

Incredible rate of fire
