Howdy friends. I’ve decided as of late that I need to seriously consider changing vehicles and don’t get me wrong I could easily go to a dealer or online and find a decent truck but I think I’d rather not have a payment… looks like this one’s gotta go if I can get the right price for it.

This is my 1919a4 built by Dixon Machine, modified by Arizona Response Systems with their enhanced sear and rapid fire trigger system.

I believe Mark over at ARS modified the bolt, sear, and trigger on this specific 1919 however I can’t be sure of the specific builder. It simply has the ARS kit in it. The ARS Kit has a modified bolt so if you want to put normal triggers and sears in it you will need to find a different bolt. Apex has these for around $200.

I purchased this from an online YouTube personality here on ODT, it was used in YouTube videos for shooting smart cars and other various things before it was passed onto me. After I received it I took it to Quiet Riot in McDonough for a general inspection and they gave me the go ahead. After firing it for the first time after head-spacing, it didn’t want to cycle more than a few rounds at a time. I changed the ammunition a few times and changed the spacing. Nothing worked. This was then shown to Ray at Moss Pawn. He is familiar with this weapon system and decided it needed some new springs and an overall freshen up internally. So that’s what I did! Now she runs perfect and I’ve only had one issue where I broke the firing pin but I have a few of these laying around so it wasn’t something I couldn’t fix easily.

This specific 1919 was featured at the recent swap meet at TruPrep! Many members were there and had seen it or asked questions. Hopefully if you are interested you were there too as it’s in mostly perfect shape.

As for what comes with it and rough prices for each part/section: (Keep in mind this is only sold as a complete unit, everything listed)

The gun itself - $5,000/6,000 (I know of 2 others for sale at the 6,700 and 5,900 price points)

Tripod and T/E - These go for $300-400 as a package with the pintle, tripod, and T/E mount.

German AA Tripod with MG3 and .30 cal pintle adapter - These are out of stock almost everywhere and if you wish to stand shooting this thing it’s pretty much the only option - The tripod goes for $700-1000 if you can find them, the adapter goes for $100-200, I got the nicest one I could find for like $260.

Case - Comes with a pelican case. $200 new but for the sake of this, $150.

Emory Jones Gatling Crank trigger - These have sold for $700+

Various spare parts - This includes things like a spare barrel, drive spring, multiple firing pins, extractor repair kit, accelerators, trigger, gas booster, drive rod, sears, trigger springs, pawl pins, and many more parts I can’t immediately think of. Overall it’s roughly $400-500 in spare parts but I can get a full list if needed.

Ammunition - I truly don’t have a defined number for this but I’ve got around 300 rounds of PPU Brass, and around 800-1000 rounds of Steel case.
Steel case went for around .36/round and the brass was closer to .52/round.
(Let’s say $500?$600?)

Links and Linker Tool - I have a metric ton of links. Thousands of these things. I have no idea how to price 4-5000 metal links. The link tool does 20 or so at a time and they cost around $150. (I’m gonna put a price at $350/400 for this)

MISC - Barrel comes in surplus bag, there’s a few tools for 1919’s like a Case extractor and a little tool wrench. I have a parts manual. ($21.74)

Ammo cans that come with it - Not gonna be part of the price but it’s a .50 cal can full of .308, and a .50 cal can of links, and a .30 cal can of pre linked ammo. All the rest of the links are in Bags. Like 6 bags of links. Please take the links, I find them all over the place. Chances are you buy this and I message you once a week to mail you 10-20 links I find in bags, my safe, a closet, in socks…. It’s just a lot.

Overall, if you look up everything, compare my prices and valuations, it comes to AROUND $9000-9500 with me pricing everything in the middle or low end of my valuations. If you think I’m wrong I’ll take some great criticism, if you want to shoot it a few times I’m a member at a outdoor club, it costs $40 for a guest and I’ll let you shoot 10-20 rounds but this is only for serious buyers with cash. If you agree to show up for a test shoot, be prepared to buy it same day. I’d like to think we would agree on a price before this and have the test fire be somewhat like a handshake. Now if you don’t want to test fire it you don’t have to, I’m just extending the courtesy.

Message me with offers, negotiations, questions, picture requests. I’ll talk with you over the phone about it as well. If you message me on here, give me time to respond as work and people keep me busy. Thanks! Videos Provided on Request.

MAYBE Silver, I’d need to have it verified
