What's the reality of owning belt fed self loading rifles these days?

Washington question, but I reckon it's potentially even hazier in Oregon.

Not sure about the legality in the Evergreen state, but I have to ask; what are you looking to acquire?

FFL + SOT = All the belt-fed goodness you can afford, without the work necessary to move your finger for every shot.

.308 1919 would be cool.

Classic pkm , mg42 converted for .308 on USGI links would be pipe dream guns.

Ma Deuce in .50bmg would be PowerBall wish.

I just got a 1919a4 in 7.62x51 about a month ago. Picked up almost 1000 izzie links. From Gators guns in kelso. It's classified as "other". No 1639 crap. Took 10 minutes from the time I filled out paper work to walking out the door with it. Few other people grumbling because they had to wait for their tiny little ar15's! And yeah…… fun is an understatement!

It is not a problem. They are just expensive up front and even more expensive to feed. At one point I was going to do a 1919 in 8mm. At the time ammo was around $0.05/rd, yes $50/1000 (I was buying 7.62x39 for $70/1000 shipped at the time). I was just young and poor so could not afford the build.

I did have a JRW semi auto M-60 for a while. It was fun. I also had a Lakeside Razorback belt fed .22 upper for a while. Much more affordable but I rarely shot it.

Be hell trying to keep up with that thing.
I can't pump my RCBS Jr. fast enough.

As long as your belts are no longer than 10 rounds.

Oh, of course!

is it a pre-ban belt based on when the links were purchased, when they were made or when they were assembled?

I'm about sick of the "powers at be". I link up what I feel like shooting. I owned those prior to their unconstitutional garbage.

Once the links come apart, they are no longer pre ban.
