Of course I didnt have my 1919 with me today...but when leaving I met these guys. Pretty cool stuff. Two of them were full autos.
Is the one in the middle a .22? Danged sure isn't a .30 cal.
30-06....what you're seeing are the empty links. They're not disintegrating like newer stuff...almost like a metal belt.
(See empty cases under it)
I see it. Very cool. What range were they shooting?
50 yards. I don't know if they were shooting live ammo from the others but this one was being set up to run blanks. They said the owner had no issue with full auto as long as you show paperwork that you legally own it.
Interesting that the range wants to verify class 3 paperwork. Would the range be liable in some way?
May just be a personal policy. I'm not fortunate enough to have to investigate why lol.
I will say from what I hear, most ranges don't allow full auto at all so I think so flashing some paperwork is worthwhile. Guys on the 1919 forum talk about having to wait for a big machine gun shoot and drive great distance to be able to REALLY shoot their full autos. Some say no FA, some only short bursts, etc.

Liable for what?
What range do you go to if I may ask?
