Marc 0 Posted June 12, 2012 Does anyone shoot belt fed rifles? They are a lot of fun. Kits can be bought, though harder all the time to find or they can be purchased already built. If anyone is shooting them, which ranges are being used? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted June 12, 2012 There are several on here that have 1919A4's - not my place to out them, and not really a rifle anyway. What is belt-fed, shoulder-fired and available in NJ??? Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tactical Turtle 11 Posted June 13, 2012 U can do an ar conversion and have no more then 15 rounds linked together Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marc 0 Posted June 13, 2012 I have a 1919A4 and enjoy something different. They weigh about 30lbs so I use a tripod. As asked above, they are legal in NJ but as everything else limited to a string of 15 rounds. It would be nice getting together with other 1919 owners and do a little shooting.

Melgamatic 66 Posted June 13, 2012 U can do an ar conversion and have no more then 15 rounds linked together This is a nice idea, but I think it doesn't work legally. Nothing to stop you from adding a 16th link. It's no different than having a high capacity magazine (in this case, infinite), and you promise not to put more than 15 rounds in.

Marc 0 Posted June 13, 2012 That's true. You can link more than 15 rounds but if foolish enough to do so are subject to breaking the law and dealing with the penalties. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tactical Turtle 11 Posted June 13, 2012 But if u only have possesion of a 15 link belt it would be legal adding the 16th would be the illegal part, I honestly don't see an issue, you can permanently alter the final link not to except ant more links Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also use cloth belts cut for 15 rounds instead of the metal links Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

halbautomatisch 60 Posted June 13, 2012 It's debatable if a belt is a "container" in the first place........ that being said keeping them to 15 rounds is the safest way to be sure you're in compliance. Having a box of disintegrating links is not illegal since they cannot "continuously feed" into a semi auto unless they were assembled that way, keep them at 15 rounds and you'll be fine.

Pew Pew Plates 358 Posted June 13, 2012 I dabble This is at a re-enactment, in PA of course. No huge belts here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marc 0 Posted June 13, 2012 Good looking setup. Once you shoot these, it's easy to get hooked and want one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
