  1. I have a WW1 Winchester M97 trenchgun for trade only at the moment. I have decided to let this one go and seek out a 12 ga. box fed semi auto . I am looking for either a Saiga 12 or an MKA 12ga. that has been professionally upgraded. This particular M97 is dated to 1918, is "US" marked and in excellent physical and mechanical condition. It is not perfect, with a blemish here and there (somewhere in its long life, rear mounted rifle sights were added & sub-sequentially removed). This left behind slight, but ugly cosmetic damage to the rear top of barrel. The bluing is original & 95% o
  2. I appreciate the input from all. At the moment I have the loose ammo in two .50 cal cans. One can holds 6,000 rds comfortably. I'd just like a dozen or so 50 or 100rd boxes for the convieniance of not having to lug around the the entire lot. It's a senior citizen thing, I've a lot of free time nowadays.
  3. I have nearly 10k loose .22LR rounds in need of boxes (50 or 100 rd plastic boxes). 1 box or a hundred., I have some .45acp I'd be willing to trade if need be.
  4. SOLD 200 rds. factory new Walmart special (Winchester). 200 rds factory, possibly 1980's vintage (nos Winchester)., one 5 rd box and one 10 rd box 00 buck. 415 rds total, $100.00 plus postage. I'll post pics later this afternoon. subject to prior sale. SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD
  5. As stated in the original post, I never had to do a darn thing to the MKA . Performs flawlessly from day one. The only add-on was a rail and a surefire m900a. I may swap out the plastic carry handle for a real one at some point. Those two saiga's were traded for a nice little Colt M4.
  6. A little background 1st., #1- I am a happy/very satisfied owner of an MKA 1919 #2- I was a very dis-appointed owner of a saiga 12 #3- I was a very very dis-apointed owner of a saiga 20 #4- I bought all 3 of these new between Sept/Aug 2012 #5- The MKA 1919 has been 100% reliable. Not a single fail, EVER. Straight out of the box w/ANY load or type. #6- The 2 Saigas were nothing but miserable failures and money pits straight out of the box. After $250 in upgrades (without going into details) and nearly 200 rounds down range with the S12, I bailed out of that abortion. After nearl
  7. great forum. how long after a contibution is made does it take before wts/wtb ads can be submitted?
  8. I have an older model MKA and it has cycled EVERYTHING it has been fed staight out of the box without exception. Reguarding the post about a shortage of upgrades understand this, Obama has been nominated firearm salesman of the century. Everything is in short supply thanks to him and his fellow libtards. Patience, we shall prevail!
  9. I'm holding out for the belt fed version.
  10. I've put north of 500 rds thru my 1919. Straight out of the box not a single FTF or FTE. The only up grades to date are a couple rails, front pistol grip and a flashlight.
  11. Welcome, I like you am relatively new here. I'm not a gunsmith, but not affraid to tinker. I have had no problems with my 1919. It has cycled anything and everything it's been fed straight out of the box. I cannot say the same about the vaunted Saigas'. I own two of them, an S12 and an S20. Nothing but problems with them straight out of the boxes (Failure to eject specifically). The S20 is fine now after much ado. Now on to the S12. If I had it to do over again I would have bought 3 MKA 1919s'. Kind of a rip-off when you think about it. It's like buying a new car, but before you can use it yo
  12. I've got 3 promag 20 rd drums. Have put several hundred rds through 2 of them without a single problem. The 3rd is still new in box, have yet to test it.
  13. OK, I dont' have time to follow or read all posts so I ask this question from a strictly novice/part time point of view, what is an "XN model" ?
  14. Sure would like to see a box in their checkout section for "postal money order" or "bank check".
  15. Have had my 1919 for the better part of 6 months now and have had nothing to complain about. One thing I did notice less than two minutes after I opened the box for the 1st time, was how soft/cheap/squisshy or practically non-existant the feel of the safety lever was.It just doesn't have that distinctive/positive on/off click to it. Has anyone else drawn the same conclusion? Has anyone come up with a remidy for this yet?
