I don't think it's horrible. And yeah I know you can get an ar15 or an ak47 for way cheaper but that's not the point. I'm not looking for some cool ninja rifle I think this is cool in its own way and I don't have to buy non existent ammo I have a boat load of 5.56 so I'll probably get one of they work.

Magazines are suppose to be available for pre-order this month. I'm anxiously awaiting to see what HMG's version of a STANAG StG-44 magazine looks like. |
|
I think I saw this on MAC's YouTube channel, or Instagram. Kind of neat.

I'm really considering getting one in 8mm Kurz..............Prvi Partizan makes the ammo, so it's available............only drawback is the rifle is supposedly 10 lbs

Never understood why anyone would want to spend all the money on an old, heavy, un ergonomic design...It was surpassed for a reason...
But hey... different strokes. |

That looks a bit more appealing than it did initially.
I might buy one of those, especially if the GSG MP40 disappoints. |

I hunt elk with a muzzle loader, that must really fry your circuits. |

View Quote Same reason a lot of people own a 65 Mustang or a 42 willys gpw jeep- just because it isnt modern does t mean you cant appreciate it and enjoy it. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Will it have the option of a side rail? I would have to have a side rail for a repro German scope.

Really hoping $1800 is the MSRP and street prices around $1600.
Has anyone ever heard of HMG? What's the quality of their guns look like? |

View Quote Other than a limited run of cetme l rifles this is their first firearm they usually make targets etc Having said that I've been following this rifle closely for some time and their other products seem to be of decent quality and are well reviewed. They also seem to have decent cs and answer their emails quickly. So to summarize they don't have a long track record but with all the interest and the help they are getting from others I'm hopeful. |

Quoted: I'd be interested in one at about $1,200. No more. View Quote I think it will be north of that. I'm guessing that production costs for a completely "new" rifle required a significant investment. (Caveat: I know nothing about manufacturing.) I'll likely get one if they're $1700 or below. Would be interested in .223 and/or 7.62x39; if in the $200 range, I'd probably get both. |

However, in the videos with the InrangeTV/Forgotten Weapons guys, it is pretty clear that Mac from HMG knows what he's doing. |

I saw the guns at their booth, and I can at least say the stamping, welding, machining, and overall construction looked good.
Of course I did not actually test fire one, but I will at least go far enough to say that the build quality looks decent, and they did a good job at blending a stanag magwell rather seamlessly into a classic designs. The ultra purists will poo-poo that feature, but the ability to sell in more common calibers opens up the market to greater volume of sales and thus a lower price point than if they just knocked a few out in 8mm Kurz. Based on what I saw I am cautiously optimistic about this one. Sven Manticore Arms |

I am in for one. Would like for it to be lower. But after working in manufacturing for 20 years, it takes a lot to get something to market.
|
|
If the reviews come out saying they function well, I am totally going to get one. I have always thought the STG-44 was a really cool gun. I imagine even people with original guns would be interested in one of these so they could really shoot it a lot and not be worrying about their 20k investment gun breaking a part or shooting the barrel out.
I think I would get one in .300 blk and use it with a suppressor. |

Is it 100% confirmed they will be poly? I thought the ones at shot were a 3D printed mock up and that's why they were poly? I thought I read somewhere the production ones would be metal. Hmm

Yeah i posted that before I saw their webpage. Oh well still an impressive project and I still intend to buy one at some point.

According to this video the magazines consist of an outer shell with different inserts for each caliber:

Does anyone know if the prototypes displayed at SHOT are gonna be the actual production. I have to applaud HMG for the work, but not to be picky but the stampings in the trigger area of the lower receiver are way off.. I understand that the position of the safety release would be different due to the HK trigger pack. I mean at least the GSG 22 variant got this right. Since the HMG STG is stamped couldnt these been put in during the stamping process?
