The Company Schmeisser GmbH proudly carries the name of Hugo Schmeisser. He certainly was one of the most innovative arms designers of the 20th century. This tradition will be continued by the new Schmeisser company into the 21th century.

The first project is the production of semi-automatic rifles type AR-15 for the discriminating rifleman and hunter as well as military/police selective fire arms of M4/M16 type.

A company named after one of the most innovative firearm designer of the 20th century's very first project is to produce the world most copied rifle design? I was kind of hoping for more

Quick......make a direct-impingement comment !

 

[Power Pill]

is it called MP15/STG15?

 

[Scarecrow]

Just what the world needed, more new companies making old designs...

 

[Hokus Grey]

Yeah, who wants some crap German engineering in their firearms, anyway?

 

[Undergiver]

I like the leapers pistol grip on the target model

 

[5440fight]

Wow, tough audience here...

How about some of Schmeisser's designs? Too predictable? "The new Civic, by toyota..."

 

[Leibermuster]

I would buy one for sure! The obsession with AR design continues!

So the Germans are stupid for making the gun themselves instead of relying on the whim of the USA and its export laws?

Apparently there are a number of improvements, which include a modified forward hinge and aft joint, overall strengthening and the ability to clean with the barrel without having to re-zero it.

...the ability to clean with the barrel without having to re-zero it.

Explain.

 

[blaxsun]

Explain.

I probably could if I had one (I'm just quoting from the website/PDF).

Caught me off guard as well, anyone out there that removes their barrel for cleaning YOU DON'T HAVE TO

 

[greentips]

It is pointless to us - it is relevant to the European market where all they can get are DPMS or Olympic arms.

I don't either; I'm assuming there's more to this than indicated.

 

[FLUXCORE]

It is stunning though, wouldn't mind working her out

Your just kidding right????

Last I heard Sig and H&K were still in Europe.
I know they aren't very well known but Ive heard they might make some OK stuff..just sayin...
I know the argument can be made that the 2 I mentioned don't make exact copies of the US DI AR-15 rifles, but they do have rifles like the 416 and 556 that are competitive. Then of course there are companies like Sabre defense.
Not trying to be cheeky greentips, as I know you know your $hit when talking about AR's but I don't think your statement if fair.

They have many many many other sources then the USA.
