headbuster77 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Does anyone know who I can contact to finish and register a 80% completed 1918A2 BAR reciever? I was also looking for an aftermarket flash supressor for the BAR build... Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless, D.D.

emmagee1917 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 If you mean , " make a machine gun" , that would take a licenced manufacturer. The Firearm would be a post-86 ( made after May of 1986) dealer sample. These post-86s can only be owned by military, law enforcement departments, active class 3 dealers and manufacturers. Us "common folks" are not allowed to posses such evil things. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headbuster77 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 No man I want to make it into a semi "only", I am an LE officer, but I prefer not to give my investment to a LE department. I just want to convert it into a normal, liberal standardized, fun shooting investment that is totally legal. Thank you, D.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmagee1917 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hummm....deleated my last post???? Ok , try again. Sorry , I thought I was on the full auto board. Most who buy 80% recievers build thier own semi or dummy gun. I'm sure that a gunsmith exists that could do a good job on this , but the price may be too high. It appears that most builders choose the Ohio Ordanice Works reciever kit. I've never done this , but it comes with a fully machined reciever , trigger group ,and I BELIEVE the slide rear. From there , it's an easy build. You will have to open the gas ports up in your adjuster ( takes more gas to cock the hammer in a semi) , and verrify your piston and gas chamber is in spec. You may get buy with a GI bolt , but be prepaired to get a sweedish bolt if you pierce primers. For more info , go to OOW website or www.wwiibarman.com and read those posts. good luck , Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headbuster77 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Excellent man I will try that website out. I'm so afraid if I give it to any gunsmith there is that chance that they will butcher it and then I will be left with nothing but a demill. Grrrrrrrrrr!

emmagee1917 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WWIIBARMAN/ let's see if this works. They are picky about members ( refused me :banghead: ) but you can do a message board scan without being a member. Some were talking builds not too long ago. Lots of info there.

Chris Chris, sorry for not letting you in; apply again I will make it happen. Not that I'm picky but we have been spammed before and if anything looks funky in the application I don't let it through.

emmagee1917 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yes , 61,000 during the Korean War. Don't know on the type of steel / iron used but I believe it was different from the WW1 / WW2 stuff as I've read where welding together pieces from different time periods was not easy .Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
