overkill8000 1 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 not being able to get parts if something breaks has me freaked out and scared to shoot it. I have the pre xn model, but its the full Fire bird precision. So If it breaks im out a ton of cash. Wish someone would make bolts for it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flatland Shooter 22 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 A short while back Tooth and Nail advised they had some factory and aftermarket bolts for the pre-XN MKA 1919. Matt also indicated he was able to modify an XN bolt to work. They also show pre-XN drive blocks to be in stock. I share your concern. I got a decent deal on a lightly used gun that resides in the back of the gun safe. No plans for it other than as a parts gun. I have well over 3000 rds though my match gun with most of them 1145 fps 1-1/8 oz loads. I don't know how many rounds your gun has run through it, but if you stay with light loads it may be quite a while before you need parts. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flatland Shooter 22 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I don't know how serious you are about getting rid of your MKA 1919, but someone on Enos wants to trade a race ready M3000 for an MKA 1919. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=222376&do=findComment&comment=2477527 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flatland Shooter 22 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hard to tell from the picture. That's a drive block, right? After-market blocks are available. http://www.toothandnailarmory.com/product/TN031.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
overkill8000 1 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yup see the crack or w/e down the middle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james lambert 3,059 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Many drive blocks have that flaw, its NOT where they break Take a very small carbide or stone in a dremel and clean up the sharp edges (stress risers) And...an existing gun can be upgraded to accept XN or match components. Both of which may still become available 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flatland Shooter 22 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 And...an existing gun can be upgraded to accept XN or match components. Both of which may still become available I did not know this was an option. Though I do not need this done at this time, is it a service you offer? My match gun is a pre-XN gun Firebird sold through Centerfire Systems as a 922 compliant gun. Its still running strong, but I have a spare upper that could be used for an upgrade. Thanks.

james lambert 3,059 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 wow those guns were built on the cheap as per centerfires direction. I dont talk very much about, or do business here anymore, you would have to call me for any info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flatland Shooter 22 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) wow those guns were built on the cheap as per centerfires direction. Ouch. Oh well, all that remains of the original gun is the upper receiver, barrel, bolt, locking bolt and drive block. Everything else was upgraded a piece at a time. And its still running. I'll try to give you a call on the upper. Thanks. Edited October 5, 2015 by Flatland Shooter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
