will this work for the 1919?

I sure hope so because I asked about it earlier in this thread and the owner of the 1919 said it was fine, so I bought 250 rounds of it.

will it work

Clay,
I asked this on the AKforum and was told that it will not feed in the 1919 they use links only! I am taking mine back to the shop and trading in on the Radaway he had.

Man, I'd love to shoot the 5.7x28... But I already went WAY way over budget buying ammo for the other stuff. I will have some 9mm (both 115 and 147gr) to trade, however, in the event that anyone wants to trade some...

-J-

Oh man, the P*90s are number 1 on my "wish list". Probably cant afford ammo either, but maybe I can hold it and drool

oh, Im pretty sure the belt wont work, but the ammo will work find. The guy with the 1919 said he has links and a loader so you can "roll your own" belts.

I delinked 125 rounds in about 5 minutes the other night. Super easy. Find a good flat board (I used an old press board shelf I had in the garage), flip the belt so the bullets are facing down, and push the round (bullet first) into the board, holding onto the belt. It pushes the rounds out easily. I could do 2 at a time, but I usually did 1 at a time until I had 5 out, then threw then in a pile, and did the next five. Got pretty good at it.

I know I'm going to be incredibly short on ammo...Why couldn't I have had all this OT on this check

What type of ammo are you ready to bring and what are you short on?

If anyone has any 30 rnd mini 14/AC556 mags they want to bring that would be great all I have are 20 rnds

I know I have a 40 rounder for an older Mini14 laying around here some where. I can throw it in the bag if it will fit.

 

[downrange72]

I'm going to run by Bradis tomorrow and pick up some .308 and maybe some .45 ACP. I have some shotgun shells, but no buck shot.

Just my opinion, but I would get slugs before buckshot. I know you can get 15rd bulk packs for $10, and they are a blast out of the AOW's!

 

[dak109]

I may have extra slugs, buck and 357 to share. Not a lot of sluds and buck, but will share what I have. I have a lot of 357. I will through in extra.

I just counted around 2000 rounds that I am going to bring. I really hope the zombies don't come for at least a month after this ammo dump! gonna be fun.

What is the etiquette for collecting brass as a handloader at NFA day?

 

[SmileDocHill]

It is a loss brass event. (Or lost brass?...either way, as I understand it, it has been said you leave it.)

 

[esrice]

Yep. NFA Day is a lost brass event. There will be a brass call at the end of each day where we will ask participants to help pick up the brass and put it into buckets. Those are then turned over to lovemywoods, who sorts, recovers, cleans, and later sells some to help recoup some of his expenses.

Just as long as it doesn't go back to the vendor to resell again and try to make profit.... those capitalist pigs

 

[esrice]

Just think of it as turning your brass into 45lbs. of pulled pork and 25lbs. of smoked chicken.

I actually have a picture of this happening two years ago:

45lbs. of pulled pork and 25lbs. of smoked chicken.

If anyone has an EZ Up style awning, please pack it along if you wouldn't mind. We might need it!
