The almost $11,000 price tag is way too much though.

BTW, who makes the reciever for these???

 

[Harry Paget Flashman]

It'd be a real bargain if they knocked $20 off the price.

 

[Evil Monkey]

This one is half price.

Funny, look at where they're located....Carpentersville, IL

 

[Lupinus]

do they have layaway?

 

[BergaminoCAV]

HK makes that beast right there, man they are fun to fire! good ol 40 mic mic

 

[pcf]

Would the reciever be considered a machinegun or a destructive device?

interesting way to go fishing

pcf - both MG and DD, but registered as only MG, AFAIK.

As to making one - if you were to file a form 1 and make a new DD, make it SA only, then you could actually build it.

 

[ABTOMAT]

Both an MG and a DD, probably.

Why are there like-new parts kits for these things floating around? Aren't kits usually from wepaons that have been outmoded and replaced in service, like 1919's?

You are wrong. HK doesn't make Mk19 GMG. I think it's made by Hughes corporation as stated on this site.

BTW, the parts kit is for the Mod 1, not the Mod 2 as advertised.

 

[hpg]

it's a little scratched up too.

 

[Still 2 Many Choices!?]

MMMMM!

40mm semi-auto goodness!!! Come on powerball, daddy needs a new(well used) DD !!!

Still 2 Many Choices!?

 

[Wes Janson]

Let's see, $11k for beaten up parts, or $4.5k for brand-new-inbox? Lemme think on that one for a little while..

 

[iracodypatterson]

Theoretically, wouldn’t you need both a Class III machine-gun AND a Class IV explosives permit to own one of these? I know you could make it into a semi-auto but… What would be the fun in that? Neat looking firearm... Perfect Christmas or Birthday gift for the youngsters! Screw burning ants with a magnifying glass, shoot cars with a MK19!

Evil Monkey:You are wrong. HK doesn't make Mk19 GMG.

I was about to call you out on this one, but you're right.

From http://www.hkpro.com/gmg.htm :
"Though perhaps not widely known, Heckler & Koch manufactures a 40mm grenade machine gun. It is simply called the GMG. (Granat Maschinengewehr) This high impulse 40mm grenade launcher is a direct competitor to the Mark 19, currently in service with the U.S. military."

know you could make it into a semi-auto but… What would be the fun in that?

Bump-firing.

I always preferred a good, reliable .50 caliber machine gun! Much less of a pain in th e a**!!
