Anyone have experience with the 1919A4 platform?

[BMGMAN]

So I just picked up this beautiful weapons platform. Would like to touch bases with fellow owners/people with experience with it. Last thing I wanna do is screw up this relatively expensive gun! I plan on reloading for it, as I currently reload all my other platforms. 5.56, 9mm, 50 BMG, etc. it's chambered in 7.62x51.

Did you put a crank on it yet?
When I got mine, it came with a crank but the roller that depresses the trigger was the wrong size. It took sizing many rollers on my lathe before I got the right size to crankfire my 1919 but well worth it.

That was back before it cost so much to fire off a minute's worth of .308 ammo

No, no crank for me. Is it possible to switch from the current pistol grip style to the more paddle style? What do you feed your ammo from?
