"this is easily the best display 1919A4 on the market today," BULLSHIT.
Its an ISRAELI marked 1919a4 that has a shitty sideplate (aka nowhere near the proper markings), a reproduction tripod. To ask $3k for this is rediculious. TO CALL IT THE FINEST ON THE MARKET is just plain crackhead-worthy.
Here's just a TINY sample:

Note in the bottom left of the rear sight.. it CLEARLY says 7.62 (that's NATO's version on the .308).
Note that the right side plate extends about 1/16th of an inch PAST the rear plate.
Note that big ass EMTPY hole? That's where the bolt return spring should be, and also the spring keeper. So no, you're not even getting a COMPLETE 1919.
To their credit they didn't reparkerize the gun... that's why its so many different shades of grey, purple etc.
Just for reference, An Izzy 1919 semi auto is $1800 (a WORKING gun) a tripod is $350 and the ammo tray is $80 RETAIL PRICES.
My COMPLETE USGI M1919-a6 semi WITH a belt loader, 6 belts, about 800 links AND a spare barrel is $4000 if anyone is interested
And yes, its 100% USGI.
