Just In Time To Ring In The New Era

Relatively faithful repros of the Sturmgewehr 44 are about to hit the market.



Yes, that's Ian from Forgotten Weapons. They got a 3-part video on the StG 44 design and mechanism.

My excitement is tempered by the unfortunate timing. I'm certain there's gonna be a lot of people [cough]alt right[/cough] sporting it for the wrong kind of political statement.
Glad that federal government is boring again.

I agree, the "neo-brownshirts" (alt-right) will see it as their weapon. I always enjoy Ian's videos, an added bonus of this series is their discussion with the designer/manufacturer.

Because they don't have the resource to make faithful but economical repros of the mag, they gear it to fit STANAG mag. That's standard AR-15 mag. They'll have kits and barrels for .223, .300 blackout, 7.62x39, and of course the 8mm Kurz.
Glad that federal government is boring again.
