Now that's what I'm talking about

I have a thing for impractical weapons (50BMG, 50AE, etc). I think this definitely falls in that category. Anyone ever shot one? Wonder if I could shoot it at ORSA??

Goryunov 7.62x54R SG43 Semi-Auto Part #RIFLE-GOR

I believe that if you take that to the range you will be able to do what you want to. lol

Practical-shmactical! That looks like FUN! If they won't let you shoot it at ORSA, bring it to Cleveland, I'll let you shoot it there. if I get a turn!

I would much rather have a 1919a4. We built all of ours for well under $800 each. You could buy 2 1919's and a Yugo M53 (semi MG42) for what you would pay for the SG43. It's a cool piece, but over priced IMO.

Hey Jason, that 1919a4 is sexy. When you say "we built ours" do you mean that you personally built them or that you work with/for a company that does that? The price does seem a lot nicer and I already shoot .308.

Yea my Dad, and my brother, and I built our 1919's. All you need is a parts kit, a side plate, a semi-auto trigger and sear, and your interal parts machined to work with the semi-auto sideplate. A good source of information about builds is www.1919a4.com. If you are thinking about doing a build and ever make it to middle TN we will be glad to help you build it.If you have any other questions just let me know. Here are some pictures that TGO David took of one of mine that I brought to a TGO shoot.
