There are a couple of nice pictures at the site.

A replica StG 44 would be awesome!

If you're willing to pay $4200 you can find one HERE.

They're out of stock but if you keep checking from time to time..

They look nice but personally, I think they're way overpriced.

Thank you for the link. The price is high, especially when you can get an AK weapon for a fraction of that price. Plus ammo for it must be pricy.

And then, I’m sure it wouldn’t be legal in MA anyway.

It really is a nice looking piece of history though. When I move...

So that is why 7.92 Kurtz ammo is getting more available.

Having just come back from a tour of Russia, the bit about the “so-called Great Patriotic War” rubs me the wrong way. Twenty-six million Russians died fighting the Germans and photos from that era show a country as ravaged as Germany was after the war. I think their sacrifices earned them the right to call the war whatever they want.

I almost bought a PPSH-41 but the thing is just to darn heavy to be truly useful.

I would love a small carbine in 7,26x25

Thanks for posting this. Great stuff.

It’s not exactly a “machine gun” - VERY far from it! - but are there any other Mosin Nagant fans out there? There’s certainly quite a resurgence of interest in these magnificently indestructible Russian rifles.

Someone’s now putting out an AK clone chambered in the venerable 7.62x54R. If well done, that could be well worth owning. :)

Buy one! They are a hoot!

Hmmmm- I may have to trade in my Mosin-Nagant and a few bucks for that.....:)

You will love it.

Kalinka has all the scope accessories http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/accessories/for-posp.html

Thanx! That’s a good price!

To bad they are sold out.

A coworker told me he saw one 2 weeks back for $575 locally.

You want that eyepiece. It gives perfect eye relief.

Not just patriotic, it was Sacred Watch the vid, very stirring...

If you like to see arty in action - see this. Very 122mm.
