GSG STG44 .22LR

I've always loved the look and history of these, and since I'll probably never own one, I've been looking at the .22LR replicas of them. When I saw a deal on another forum posted on these for one at 250.00 from firearms forsale.com, I jumped on it.
I'll post the link in the deals section.

It showed up quicker than expected (ordered on April 30th) and was very well packaged. The wooden crate is well constructed and has an actual burnt in stamp. I'll be keeping this box for sure.

As you can see, inside the crate, the rifle ain't gonna move around much. You'll need a screwdriver to get it out.

And here it is put together.

I haven't shot it yet, but will report back when I do. It looks to be very well made, has some decent heft to it, and will look pretty cool on my wall I think. I can't wait to put some rounds through it, but will probably have to wait until next week as I'm busy this weekend.

The only cons I see so far is that the magazine is plastic, which I understand why, and does not come out easily from the rifle for some reason... If it doesn't wear in, I'll be addressing that with some sandpaper I'm sure.
Also while the butt stock is wood, the pistol grip plates are plastic. I was planning on stripping the wood down and making it look more like a battlefield pick up gun so will have to look into other options for the pistol grip.

I would say that if your interested in the history and overall coolness of this rifle, feel confident in your purchase from firearmsforsale.com and get it while you can at that price!

Scratch,

That's pretty cool and a good deal. I have been wanting one but always thought it was priced too high. Hmmm, may have to order one and have it shipped to a MN FFL. Thunderjohn you maybe getting a call to fax an FFL.
