ati stg44/22

[Come and take it.]

Has anyone managed to get one of these yet. I notice one of my local gun shops have the item listed but the website continues to list them as out of stock.

what price do they have it listed for?

I would love to get my hands on one.

an STG 44 in .22lr would just keep reminding me i didnt have one in 7.92x33mm.. now if they made an exact copy of the STG in 7.92x33, or even 7.62x39, i would buy one in a heartbeat

between 500-600 can't remember exactly

are these actually mechanically the same as the STG 44, or just a .22lr sporter made to look like one?

Good evening to all.
By what I understand, the .22 calibre version of the Stg44 is well made and is a good replica of the real rifle. It even weighs alot [the real one weighs in at eleven lbs]. Those that have handled them claim these are not cheaply made.
Now for my two cents worth:
Being the owner and operator of the PTR44 (semi-auto version of the Stg44), I can tell you the 7.92x33mm Kurz round has its own unique kick and signatory report. Because of this, the .22 version would be a letdown for me.
However, if this is as close as you can get financially to the real deal, and you are basing your appetite mainly on looks, I say go ahead and buy it.

It is most definitely just a look-alike. The .22lr doesn't have nearly the power to operate the type of action the original StG-44 had.
