It appears that an enterprising fellow has developed the tooling to make a semi-auto version of the Stgw 44 (MP-44 or MP-43). As most of you know, it is one of the earliest "assault rifles" adopted by the German Army during WW II (we've all seen the Battle of the Bulge picture of the panzer-grenadiers riding atop of the King Tiger, one of whom was armed with the Stgw 44). It will be a mixture of old parts and new with the barrel being produced domestically. Right now the prototype is awaiting BATF approval.

Once BATF approval is received, they will attempt to get 250 buyers to fund tooling up for production. Mind you, it won't be cheap and the asking price is $2k - $2.5k! I'll email him for more information later. The contact is Karl Brockfeld at:

In a society growing ever more restrictive on gun ownership and enjoyment, I can't see this as a viable business venture.
