NEW! GSG MP-40 .22lr NON-RESTRICTED

[Blue Line Solutions]

Now have them build a STG in .17 HMR.

X2. a 9mm version would be way sweeter.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Never say never.

Let's get the 9MM MP40 here first!

Clamshell, i think, is a reference to how sheet metal is stamped and folded (like a clamshell) to make these guns, vs the use of the more expensive milled steel. But that's how the originals were made too.

Close, but not quite.

Clamshell refers to the fact that the design uses two half's (left and right, or top and bottom - depending) to encase the internal components. In the case of GSG, each half is actually cast in a mould using Zamack-5, a zinc alloy. (These half's are not sheet steel, stamped into shape under high pressure as they would have been during those years).

In a clamshell design, the internal components are placed in one half of the casting and then enclosed by the other half; both half's are usually held together by screws or proprietary fasteners. This "clamshell" design which has been used by many modern gun makers, especially when replicating .22cal versions of famous firearms; a-la GSG, Chiappa, and others.

This fabrication method allows for realistic detail being cast into the product without multiple stamping operations - reducing material and production costs. However, Zamack is a Zinc alloy and is not as resilient as aircraft grade aluminum and/or most steels. If dropped at the right angle, most Zamack made guns will break or develop nasty cracks that are difficult to repair.

Thats not so reassuring.

Limited Life Time Warranty for all GSG Products. Rest Assured!

For $599, it would be reeeeeal hard to get you an all steel gun in your hands. Also, the MP40 has been sold down south for some years now, with no major defects, or problems.

Still mid sept??

The real fact is ''ENJOY" because in our "####...g" country, having a ww2 reproduction or other fun stuff is a nightmare.
No AK, No Thomson, etc

Hallelujah! We're lucky the MP-40 is coming here in the first place!

So we still looking at a MID SEPT delivery time frame??

[Robert777]

I would like to know too....

We are still optimistic, for mid/end Sept.

Production is running good, and there are no major updates, which is good. If anything changes, or gets pushed back, we'll post it on here.
