Hi all, I've been looking around for a semi-automatic rifle, belt-fed and all just like a fully-automatic machine gun, but semi-automatic and not ever convertable (so I can have spare parts, etc...) Is there such a beast in exsistance?? I hope so, I love the look of a belt-fed rifle, but I don't like automatic fire OR the pricetag/registration required for a fully-automatic machine gun.

Thanks in advance, oh fountains of knowledge. :D
 
HA! I finally found what I've been looking for, a semi-automatic M2HB! Here is the company that sells it, TNW firearms.... now to gather $1000 to reserve one.
 
Ohio Ordanance Works sells a semi-auto, water cooled,1928 Browning as well as a semi-auto BAR.

7.62x51 or 30.06 surplus are a heck of a lot cheaper than .50 BMG.

Don't forget the SHRIKE (if and when they FINALLY release it)! It's a .223/5.56 belt fed upper for the AR15. Price is just under 3,000. But it could be a load of fun with a heavy MG barrel and a SAW box full of ammo.
It will be available in pre and post ban configurations (or so they say).

I've already bought 1,000 links and a dozen MINT/new SAW drums w/ starter tabs, and a camo SAW soft pack. Tick-tock, tick-tock...I'm just waiting for the guys to get the project off the ground! They keep having "unforseen delays".
 
I actually like the weight and power of the M2HB, I've picked up a non firing replica before... it was heavy. :D

I, personally, can't wait to have one... I can pick up boxes of pre-linked armor piercing, tracer, armor piercing incendiary, ball, aluminum point.... I can see myself having to get into reloading this stuff, but even then buying current manufacture linked is cheap enough... 100 rounds, $100 isn't bad at all, since it includes the box.

EDIT: Lawmakers had better not ban .50bmg weapons from civilians before I can gather my money... they want to make .50s either illegal outright or NFA weapons... like they're THAT dangerous... :rolleyes:
 
Third_Rail, That's what the PRK folks are up to! If they have their way, we'll all be gunless and powerless. BUT, "we'll ALL be safer"........ yeah right and let's see how long Utopia lasts once the bad guys are the only ones with guns! Join pro gun organizations, write letters to your Senators and Congressmen and VOTE (while you still can).
 
lowammo- you got it!

Intrestingly enough, all the pieces to make a Shrike are CA legal TO PURCHASE SEPERATELY. (lower is all you need to go through an FFL, and a DMPS single-shot lower works fine.) And to assemble, all you need to do is fit a non-pistol-grip, and you're good to go.

So, a 200round BELT FED AR-15 is perfectly legal with a kneecaped grip, but a standard colt is verbotten, even with 10 round mags. I love it :)


Good thing I have a pant load of M27 discarding linked 5.56 (and M2 .50 for that matter) I bought before 2000! (CA high cap mag ban, and yes they consider a belt a high-cap.) There's no language that says you can't re-load a fully spent belt, but many people in CA don't shoot the last 10 rounds, just to keep their 'high cap' intact.
 
Third_Rail, I gotta say that I really like your signature line! How true, how true!

I got suspended from ebay for standing up to them in an email message. I questioned their policies on listing 20rd. mags and their unequal enforcement of the policies that they have in place. Some A-hole then pulled all of my auctions (even ones for non-gun related items) and suspended me. It's as if to say,"WE ARE EBAY! WE ARE ALL POWERFUL and you are a little powerless ant". So now ebay has gone the way of Wal-Mart. A good thing has become too big to care about the genuine concerns of the very people who made them big. By the way... ebay is a company based, where else, The People's Republic of California! The same PRK folks who highly influenced gun control in the rest of the nation and caused undue and unconstitutional restrictions on its law-abiding citizens. I am now looking for an alternative to ebay. I may not use them even when my "suspension" is lifted next month. Same thing with Paypal, an ebay company.

The Postal Service offers a "pay on delivery" service. It's very much like paypal only better.... it's like an escrow service as well!!!! When you buy something, the money is not released until you receive your item. Just think, NO more getting ripped off when buying on-line. If everyone would switch to this service and make it the new standard,
Peepee pal would suck major wind. And I'd say score one for all the little ants!!!!

Dream on dude. Belt fed guns are specifially addressed by the CA DOJ.

A large capacity magazine also includes linked ammunition with more than 10 rounds linked together or an ammunition belt with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.

lowammo- agree they're dumbasses, but let's keep the fight and words to CA *lawmakers*, not citizens :)

TechBrute- please re-read my post. Here is an excerpt;

Good thing I have a pant load of M27 discarding linked 5.56 (and M2 .50 for that matter) I bought before 2000! (CA high cap mag ban, and yes they consider a belt a high-cap.) There's no language that says you can't re-load a fully spent belt, but many people in CA don't shoot the last 10 rounds, just to keep their 'high cap' intact.

Discarding-linked ammunition in linked belts greater than 10 rounds is treated just like any other High-Cap in CA. It's the same as the 17 rounders I have for my Glock.

All perfectly legal to posess, provided I bought 'em before 1/1/2000. Which I did.


So, "dream on" you say? Oh yes, yes, I will.
 
Those are more expensive than TNW Firearms' semi-automatic rebuilds.... I like the guy over at TNW anyway, he's nice so far.

So he gets my business.
 
artherd, I wasn't addressing the legality of the belt, but you cannot buy or assemble a gun based on an AR-15 that accepts "hi-caps" after 2001. Maybe you can find someone to sell you a shrike (good luck with the way that they like to intimidate dealers), but as soon as you put it on a lower, even the dpms or fab-10, it's illegal. Your legal fees would pay for a move out of state, though. :D
 
Not the same AT ALL... but an interesting idea.

EDIT: Hmm, does anyone else make a semi-auto M2HB?? They may not be able to sell me one, because I can't take it for another year and they believe that they'll be out.
