Mystery Gun (StG44 Variant) - Need Help
“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”Tags: None

Yeah, the lower receiver and the stock are the same as an StG. 44, but the upper receiver and the barrel are different; my guess is this was an even cheaper version of the StG. 44 (which was deliberately simple to begin with) intended for mass-production had the war continued beyond 1945.

I've always wanted to own an StG. 44, even in 7.62; there is (or used to be) a company in Germany that made firing replicas chambered in the original 7.92mm x 33mm Kurz round, and an American company is supposed to be coming out with a replica that will fire either 5.56mm/.203 (which makes no sense to me), NATO standard 7.62mm x 39mm, or the original 7.92 x 33mm.
And, of course, a lot of us have heard about that shipping container that showed up in Syria a few years ago that contained 5,000 Stg. 44's; nobody knows if they are replicas (highly doubtful) or, if they're real, where they've been for the last 65+ years."There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish.

Huge thanks to everybody who responded! :-)“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities.

NATO standard was 7.62mm x 51mm, which was a shorter version of .30.06."Only Nixon can go to China." -- Old Vulcan proverb.
