Hmmm nice. This bit caught my eye though.
The MP-38 is a closed-bolt conversion and will be sold as a pistol, with a stock fixed in the folded position (but repairable for folks who was to file SBR papers for them). - See more at: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/...mpaign=Weekly+Newsletter#sthash.uiRfOOdZ.dpuf

Will have to see what that means exactly. New receiver with a converted bolt, or what?

Those are SSD guns, the MP38 closed bolt won't fly here, they got prohibited here along with the open bolt version

Yup... SSD. Rebranded... Again...


Well, third times a charm, right???







Ask Marstar and Wolverine how they feel about bringing in some of these.

The US closed bolt version was classified as prohibited along with the open bolt BD38?

BD38 open & closed bolt versions share the same receiver, just the trigger group was different, they claim that an original MP38 trigger group can be attached in minutes and for this they shot it down. Think Wolverine had a few closed bolt guns that were doomed as well.

You will have to move to the US as they won't be coming to Canada

As a dual citizen, I dont waste my time with non NFA "machine guns" down there. Full Auto or nothing!

There is a lot more difference between an open bolt gun and a closed bolt than the trigger group.
If it used the same receiver, the US ATF would never have cleared it for sale in the US>

The open bolt version was never presented in the US because there was no chance that it ever would get approved, the closed bolt version has a hammer and different firing pin set up, still the changes were not big enough to prevent the reclassification of booth versions here in Canada.
The first BD38 closed bolt guns in Germany had a tendency to shoot full auto once in a while unintentionally. This did not happen with the open bolt guns. The closed bolt version was never reliable as the open bolt gun.
