Hawkeye_Joe Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 It's an ORF .. I've have heard some bad things about them, but I hope mine's one of the good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 iirc, they were the shizzle a few years ago. then they out grew their talent and everthing went to pot. i built my own a number of years ago. they certainly are an interesting pc of hardware. what cal you running in it? belts or links?

Hawkeye_Joe Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 It's a 308 but I'm thinking of buying a 8mm bolt and barrel. I'm using both belts and links...it does take both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimFromFL Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I believe worse case with the ORF is that you may have to buy a new sear and trigger, but not certain. I didn't read anything about a crank system added to your 1919 and why NOT???? Other than a tripod, ammo and links, a crank system should be the first accessory purchased. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/cool.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye_Joe Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I'm trying to get it ready for a re-enactment right now....need a bfa badly. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/unsure.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye_Joe Posted March 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yep, at 190.00 Guiette is a rip off and Crane is out of stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey250r Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I built my 1919a4 a couple years ago from an 80% Ohio Rapid Fire RSP and an Izzy kit in 7.62 NATO. The tripod was made from junk I had in my basement and about $5 for some hardware. The green cloth belts were on sale last year at IMA for $8.95 each. I think that the build of the LMG will be about half the price of the build of the SMG! http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e121/mikey250r/green3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmagee1917 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I don't do blanks , but if you could borrow an adjustable BFA and find out what port size works with your gun/blank combo , you could then buy a booster , weld up the hole , and drill out to that port size. Nice and cheep. I've never done , but others on the 1919 board do this. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye_Joe Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well, I got one made by a friend but as of yet I haven't tried it out. Jim you were right, I need to get a KMP trigger group, the ORF is doubling up a lot, I can't even shoot it at my range because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
