A good metal reproduction will cost you $200. A real one will cost you thousands. Most Army surplus stores have the reproduction. Hero Outdoors has them for order online.

Two hundred is way too much. You can get a refurbished original for that much. Reproductions will cost you $60-$70 US at Hessen Antique or At The Front.:cheers:

Why all this poo-pooing going on 'bout potmetal? My mother has pots handed down to her from her mother, which are just fine today.
And they even survived a house fire, back in the '50's. With any luck I'll inherit them, and they'll make many a more stews.

Because you can be ripest, most juiciest peach in the world. But someone just doesn't like peaches.

Because it does not even compare to the gun steel. It is soft and prone to failures, has limited use and deteriorates over the time. Do not confuse pot metal with cast iron pots.

I understand what you're saying and I too prefer steel but the metal alloy in the GSG MP-40 has been in use for well over 40 years in other rifles. In 1988 I bought an Italian made .22 copy of the Israeli Galil rifle and it saw extensive carrying and pest control use in the bush on the Bruce Peninsula. Most of the receiver and the front sight etc. were made from this same alloy and they wore well under hard use. I did have to touch the black paint up in places but the metal itself did not chip or break. The areas on the rifle that required extra strength (bolt, barrel, butt plate, magazines, all screws and bolts etc.) were of course made from good quality steel.

One thing I remember about that rifle was that it was 100% reliable no matter what ammunition I used. It was also very accurate and the action stripped down in seconds for easy cleaning.
 
I have a 1941 mp40 and they are fun to shoot, I don't care much for the shoulder stock but for an open bolt gun I peels away the ammo fast.

NAS got super unlucky with transport, CN rail went bazzurk and got delayed by almost two weeks I believe. They should be shipping theirs shortly, I think they received theirs yesterday.

They were one of the first ones to order from us, and to be shipped, but man oh man, transport can be so unpredictable sometimes.
