Thanks - been squirreling MP44 stuff away for a few years.
Sold too much of it, should have kept some of the kits, but, that's life, there is always something more exciting around the corner.

Quote:
(The action was copied from the Russian Simonov design, the magazine had been seen in other firearms, select fire in a rifle was also not new.) The intermediate cartridge (not rifle/not pistol) was a paradigm change, a seismic gear-shift in small-arms design, it signaled the end of both the long rifle and the short SMG, it was the dawn of the black rifle. The MP44 was however a sub-standard rifle by every other measure. (Ask any of the post-war military that used it, they couldn't trade it out for an AK quick enough.) To make one in any other caliber loses me. What's the point? Its still a sub-standard design. If you want to blast cheap ammo, get a battle proven and improved upon AR or AK platform. This is the rather uncommon 14 round box of 7,9x33mm Kurz - they are quite difficult to find - the last one I saw went for $300
