StG 44

HFP75;
As you are well aware, in our more than 20 years on the Canadian amrket we always try to make our deals "doable"....
I think you folks will really enjoy these "nasty" looking toys when they arrive.... The next best thing to owning an FA.
ALL THE BEST FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Here is a quote/link you guys might be interested in about the new Stg. It is from an American forum but good info.

" Just to let you know that I cleared the BD44 today (12/18/06) and picked it up in Raleigh RDU Cargo. I brought it to my premises to prepare it for shipment to the Tech Branch. I have just finished a thorough examination of the weapon conparing it part for part with a real MP44. Bernd Dittrich is an artist. This weapon is so close it makes your eyes water. A novice would not know the difference.

The bolt carrier and piston are just a few thousands undersized, so the real one would not fit, but other than that (and the fact that there is no auto-sear trip) it is identical. The bolt is also a few thousands undersized, but virually identical. The semi triggergroup has no mounts for the auto sear and the auto/semi sellector is for show and screwed down not to move. The triggergroup IS interchangeable with a real FA one which may create an issue, but unlike the G3, H&K series weapons which need no other receiver holes to make the FA triggergroup function, which is why it needed to be different, the BD44 receiver does not have the auto-sear hole in the receiver. So this weapon would be as difficult as an AKS47 to convert FA even with an FA triggergroup (hard part to find!).

The receiver would need to be cut for the auto-sear and the auto-sear trip would need to be built-up and machined. So I give it a 50/50 on approval. I have posted some images. I had SSD send it with the 5 rd. mag, but I inserted a real FXO WaA37 mag for the real effect."

X39 is retarded in a STG. Whats next? AR stock? Rail handguards? I bet the people asking for this wouldnt even buy it if it came in any caliber, let alone that.:rolleyes:

Agreed. This is a novelty gun, most likely bought by the hardcore historically minded gun nutz. Half probably will never be fired, or fired more than a box.

If I had the cash for one, I'd be happy If I could also get a case or more of Privi Partizan ammo in reloadable brass. If these take off, live ammo won't be a problem. If they turn out to be a collectable novelty, there's always reloading.

I don't know dude, I think they would sell much better in 39.
 
Man alive I wish I didn't have a need for the money I have right now.

I've got $9000 in the bank, but a lot of tuition to pay for.

That, and I need to get a house in the next 10 years. If I don't, I'll go insane.

But god damn I want one of those. 2000 euros...god knows how much Marstar will change. Probably 2500-3000 Canadian. Oh well. I can always dream...

Why is that? 3000$ gun to compete VS guns that cost 1-400$ in the same caliber? This gun is designed for people who want a STG but can't have one. That means people who want everything like a real STG. X39 is on another planet compared to 8mm Kurz. Not to mention who knows the repercussions of the different caliber on reliability.

And it wont fit in the magazines. You can't use AK mags because the magazine catch design is completely different between the guns.

If you think the STG should be in X39 you shouldnt own a STG because the gun and its history is lost on you.

What he said.

Chambering this rifle for 7.62x39 would be the most pointless thing anyone could do to it. Why bother? For the price of one of these you could own a bunch of VZ's, SKS's, and SKS D's. If you don't want something chambered for 8mm Kurtz, then don't buy the rifle. Simple as that.
 
Admit it, you're just cheap, what you realy want is a 10/22 dressed up as a Stg44. That would be the best, no mag limit, you can use the .22 LR 50 round drum mags. Now that would rock!

:runaway:

Ok, realistically, yes, if this was chambered in a round that is readily available, more people would likely buy it, but it aint, and probably will not be for a long time (and most likely never).

To do so would require more than tooling up a production facility using the existing design, it would require research and development to redesign it, prototype it, test it, and finally produce it. Much easier to just stick with what has already been built and make a top notch copy of that.

Also, if you were to try and do this, your whole business plan is shot to #### as soon as cheap 7.92 kurz is made available to the Canadian market.

If I were a thinking man, I'd read between the lines here when an importer makes a comment like this...Something might be in the works.

I wish I were an importer, unfortunately you mistake me for someone else.
I am not johnone and not associated with Marstar.
