I would be very surprised if this little lot didn't originate in Yugoslavia, been shifting around on the international black arms market since the 1990's.....

5000 MP44's check!

7.92x33mm in any quantity....... That might be a slight problem !

These revolutionary rifles were used in quantity by the Yugoslav government until the ammo ran low, they were then stored at a government arsenal that was looted during the civil war in the 1990's, these have been floating about ever since, going from dodgy dealer to dealer!

Other countries used them, Norway for instance, but they tend to be ever so slightly more careful about were they dump their mils surps!

Only suitable for wall hanging now really.

Are they WW2 vintage Stg44's or early CETME's???., I can't tell watching it on my mobile.

Syria used the StG44 as an issue weapon post WW2 along with 98k rifles and PZKW mkIV tanks. The price was right.
