If it is in anything but 8mm Kurz, using anything but reproduction StG-44 mags, it's fucking gay and can go eat dicks in gayland. Agreed. What's the point of a Stg replica in an AK caliber? Just buy an AK and save tons of money. ... And get a much lighter gun... With proven reliability... A massive logistical base... Quality mags... A huge family of accessories... AKs are so light because you leave them in the trashcan. Where they belong. Still a better gun than the StG. |

I cannot open the video at work here, but the differences between the 7.92 Kurz and 7.62x39 cartrides are not "massive". The Soviet round has a OAL that is 8mm greater than the German one. That is mice nuts to the overall proportions of the rifle, especially if the ribs in the magazine are copied proportionately on the new version. In other words, at a casual glance, you would probably NOT be able to tell the difference unless you held the two side by side, and looked specifically at the magazine area. For someone who wants a "close copy", this rifle would be imminently more practical than a "real clone". After all, how many of guys are really going to go out and shoot a shitload of 7.92x33 K at the current going prices? Hell, if you can afford very much of THAT oddball cartridge, you can spring for a REAL StG-44!! |

They also take different magazines... With that said if you want you can get a 8mm version and have it practically the same thing with different stanag magazines. IMO this isn't a big enough difference to matter to me. That's just me personally. While I would rather have a full auto version, I think this is badass. I want a 7.62x39 in its close to standard configuration pretty bad actually. |

7.62x39 will be the one I'd be interested in. |

If a 5.56 or 7.62x39 Stg is only 70% authentic (however anyone wants to define that word in this context) 0.7 Stg is more Stg than I'm likely to obtain otherwise. |

It's not original so there's not actually any history there.

I always held the theory, with a few very small tweaks, would work fine in a modern shooting environment. We'll see.

I'm just giddy imaging how fun merc'ing around Europe will be rolling with one of these.

I'd be a buyer for one in 7.92 at $1800. I'm just skeptical of an April release and they don't even have a working prototype . I hope it doesn't turn into vaporware.

If you're changing the manual of arms and caliber you're not getting an STG. If you just want a fun gun to shoot, an AR-15 will blow these out of the water for less. Or you can get some other better gun like a Tavor or MCX. |

I think it's sweet. I will buy one in 762x39 at that price for sure. Just get an AK is a weird argument. Don't ever buy a revolver just get a semi auto pistol.

It is more like this: "I want to get a Smith & Wesson Model 686 revolver because it was an iconic firearm back in the day. But I'm going to get it in 9x19mm and use detachable box magazines with it." Quoted:
That will happen long before I'd buy this thing. Agreed. Not that I am actually in the market for either. But if I could I'd go big or go home. No real point in owning a pricey half done replica. Plenty of authentic guns to buy, close replicas, or modern shooters which are superior. |
