Any chance that Canada will see any of these German made semi-auto 22 cal rifles?

GSG is working on a MP44 and MP38 version.

The US MSRP is only $550 for the MP44 at those prices it looks like you could have a seller!
 
looks good, but we can already get those in their real calibers from marstar.

now, if GSG made a remake of the kar98k and G43, THAN i would definitely buy them. I would kill for those two guns made with modern wood and machining like how AIA did with the Lee Enfield.

But until someone makes a modern Kar98k that looks EXACTLY like the WW2 German kar98k, ill keep my historic rifle thanks.

Ya but most people don't want to spend that kind of cash and would much rather buy an affordable .22 version..

Sure you could get the real thing for $2500 + tax, but I am not interested in spending that much money on such a rifle.

$550 I would be interested, but if they are restricted as variants or some BS then it really hurts the value of such a rifle for me.

I am interested to know if marstars versions are restricted only due to barrel length? If that is the case then in a .22 we could get lucky, unless they are classified by OIC.
 
The originals are not "named".
Therefore the "variant" situation would not apply.
The only consideration should be the barrel and overall lengths, for restricted or non-restricted classification.
Donster - SSD makes a K43 reproduction, but be prepared for a bit of sticker shock.
 
The MP 40 in the picture looks like it has the butt installed upside down.

Besides being cheap to shoot, the .22 lookalikes have one major advantage over their fullbore counterparts; no magazine limits.

Where is the $2500 coming from, I only see $2700+tax at Marstar?

After seeing this post I googled to see if I could find out some more info on them. They don't even have a working prototype yet - these were on display to gauge interest. And it appears that they go it :D but projected delivery in the US isn't until this time next year. And the MP40 copy may have to be modded to be US friendly - either the butt folded and welded shut so they can sell it as a pistol, or with a fake suppessor on a longer barrel. I guess all rifle barrels have to be over 16" in order to avoid being hit by a short barrel rifle tax. But since these aren't being made in the US, hopefully we can get the non-modded version here.
 
I looked it up and the original mp40 was just under 24 inches folded with a 10 inch barrell so the US version should be no problem. Maybe they could even make a version for us with a barrel length just long enough to be 26 inches folded.

Looks like 22 cal guns are the way to go now.Even reloading components are getting quite exspensive.Dont get me wrong i will still shoot and buy other calibers but when you want to go and shoot 1000 + rnds in a outing 22 doesnt seem that bad.

It definitely is looking like the best option these days....if it keeps going like this it will be the only option...hahahah..

I just shoot my other caliber's less now, but i will definitely will be getting a good 22 some day soon, can't see it in this WW2 line of guns though...although these are pretty cool..
