JPFAZ Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 I am still new to the NFA world and I have attempted to look around already on this issue but I can not find an answer to this question. I am hopeful that someone on here may be willing to help with this question. Do registered transferable 1919a4 bolts exist? Similar to the registered transferable UZI bolts that do exist, where the bolt has been milled to clearance the denial island of a semi-auto version. I ask because I have a semi-auto 1919a4 that I am sentimentally attached to because I built it with my son years ago and I would like to have a 1919a4 MG as I like Moses Browining designed firearms. Thank you for any thoughts on this or recommendations of where I should research further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Highly doubtful. It was easier and a better idea to put your time into fabricating a plate. 1919 semi's were not a "thing" back in 86 because you could have a transferable MG for the same price if you built it yourself from a parts kit. The conversion parts you see for semi guns were because those guns were already in existence and it was easier to make a conversion part like a bolt and install it in a semi host. If you have a semi, you'll need to locate a loose transferable plate, drill the rivets, and "re-build" what you've done, and ditch the semi-internals for unmodified one's.

JPFAZ Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 That definitely helps and makes perfect sense, thank you. I will start looking for a transferable plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhouston8 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 I have a virgin reg side plate but alas it's not for sale for any reasonable market price. Precious few unistalled ones exist. I haven't seen a sideplate alone listed for many years now. To answer your question....I've never heard of a registered transferable 1919 bolt. Only post sample dealer ones.

MGTedFL Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 IIRC, per BATFE, the right side-plate is the "machine gun" on the M1919A4. I have never seen a registered 1919A4 bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPFAZ Posted Sunday at 05:10 PM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 05:10 PM Thank you everyone for helping me to better understand this is not possibility and why. I was not sure what conversion parts or kits were available and registered as transferable prior to the 1986 cut off. From what I understand now that list seems to be: 1) Uzi Bolt, 2) HK Sear/Pack, 3) AR!5 RDIAS/Lighting link, 4) M1/2 Carbine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
