[kennyc]

if memory serves, there is a replica FG42 on sale in straight pull, and possibly 22LR, I also found this on the web.

Nice find. Seems they offer the type 1 FG42 as well. The type 2 FG42 is € 7,450 and they also offer StG44's at € 2,690 and MP38's at € 2,480. Wow war bling.

German Sort Guns do a .22 MP44, looks quite good, apparently real weight:

Here's my Straight Pull STG44 imported directly from Sport-Systeme Dittrich. It's in 7.96x33 Kirtz and shoots a 4 inch group at 200 yds - honest! Lovely little round - in fact as I understand it, it was the first choice of round that was considered when designing the FAL.

The Londinium branch is still going strong and meets at the Imperial War Museum. However, as we understand it, the curators there don't take any guns out of their display cases whereas at the RA they are far more obliging...

...oh, they DO take fings out

The Stg45 was a Volksturm issue job - quite Heath Robinson but it worked

The 7.92 x 33 WAS a nice round in its day - I'll stick with my 6.8 x 43 instead

Now, I really am not the envious type, not by a long chalk. But, I have just had a massive attack of the green eyed monster!!!

I really, really like that! What's the details? Availability, price, cost of mags, dies, brass etc.

I need more info!!

Wow PaulR, that's beautiful. I take it straight pull means you cock it per shot. Is that right? How come all of their guns are listed as semi-auto?

I would love a type 1 fg42...

Wow PaulR, that's beautiful. I take it straight pull means you cock it per shot. Is that right?

On their website, they're all listed as semi-auto, do they offer straight pull versions of all of their guns?

ON the website they also state that guns can be supplied as straight-pull bolt actions = so that'd be YES, they do (but only certain models, so it seems = so also NO )
