Rimfire Stg-44

[steve1973]

Thought you guys might be interested in this new .22 caliber Stg44 coming out. It is made by a different company than the Bittrich semi Stg44 that is coming out but looks nice as well and about the same price. Personally, I think I would get the other one in 7.92 Kurz before this one but man, this would be cheap to feed!!

I wouldn't shoot a rimfire StG-44. It'd be almost disrespectful to the gun.

It was revolutionary because of the round it fired, and that's basically the reason. You take that away, and you don't have that much.

Well, technically it isn't an StG-44, it's a repro made especially for .22, shooting it would be no different than shooting a .22 cal Lee Enfield.

If I had the money, I'd get them both.

 

[ilovepotatos]

Wow. I didn't know it wasn't REALLY an StG-44.

It's the closest thing I'll ever get to one. Same thing.

No need to get all antsy in your pantsy.

A repro is a repro is a repro.

I'd still want one though.

LOL

I'd get both.

Definately get the 7.92mm model first, naturally, but I'd definately get the .22 version as well, just for the fun factor.

That'll be 3G's... Thanks, but no thanks.

 

[H Wally]

Hmmmm, I'd say ultimately, whatever was cheaper. In this case, I probably won't be getting one .

Exactly. If you're putting that kind of dough down, you may as well buy the real ammo and start reloading.

If it's a rimfire shooting spree you want, just go out and pick up a 10/22 with a 100 round drum.

That's true, but people with plenty of disposable income might want one.

Unfortunately I'm not one of them.

The non-restricted aspect is appealing...
But for the 3k, you could probably get close to one of the new semi-auto 7.92 x 33 ones (I think its x 33).

Yea, but .22LR is 500 rounds for $20. How many of the 7.97mm rounds can you get for $20? Two? Maybe three?

I'd happily pick up a .22 version, just for the sheer fun factor... plus going out partridge hunting full German gettup would just be a ball.

See a bird... "ACHTUNG! HALT!" *PAK-PAK-PAK-PAK!*

 

[Sgt Striker]

Does anyone have a link to the new Stg44 that's coming out in 7.92 Kurz?

But then you have to watch your back for hunters dressed up as Russian soldiers with their mosins and SVTs!

w ww.ssd-weapon.com. Too bad they don't have an English version.

Well, considering I am one of those freaks who has the Russian gettup and weapons, I think I'll be alright... I haven't seen anyone else who does it.

 

[bushwacker]

Nice looking rifle,But for $2600 cdn NO THANK YOU.To rich for my blood

 

[muh-muh-muh-mauser]

and that mag looks like a 10 rounder too. If I had the money I would get one, but for now I would rather spray rounds with my 10/22.
