Yeah, I've seen that STG44 reproduction, and would really love to have one....just wish they made it in a 5.56 or something other than .22. Just seems a shame, sorta like dropping a Yugo engine in an original Stingray. I'm not gonna say "affront to nature", but its pretty darn close. But, still...to have an STG44....:drool:
RA I think a 22mag would be a nice setup also 45g@2000fps is nothing to sneeze at but yea was my initial thoughts were yours but it's kinda growing on me.Of the 15 rifles I have only two are 22 and one is 22Lr and the other a 22mag making them fairly cheap to shoot.Talk has already started brewing about MP40 that is in the works and shoot they may rework some of these into the 22mag in the future.If you remember someone out of Germany did a STG44 3-5 years ago in semi only made it as far as Canada/Marstar before our friends at the ATF said 
to close in design to the FA.

Heh. "ATF" should be a convenience store, not a federal bureau. But, yeah, I agree with you Javelin....as much as I was disappointed in the .22 at first glance, it *is* growing on me.

If you look back at my post #641, those are my .22mag guns, the Kel-tec PMR-30 handgun and the Henry rifle. I like the .22mag cartrige and the CCI hollow points hit hard. With the Kel-tec 30 rounds coming at you in about 5sec is a lot of fire power. The .22LR lack the punch and sound.
I am looking seriously at Kel-tec's RFB or Rifle Forward ejecting Bullpup. It's a 7.62 NATO with a 600m range for the carbine. Unfortunately like a lot of Kel-tec's offerings very difficult to find and when you do find one they sell above MSRP, but I'm looking

i want one of those STGs....but would rather it be 556mm, 762x39, or something larger....with a 22lr conversion of course. i have to believe a larger caliber is on the drawing table at least. i love shooting and the price of 22lr but its such a dirty, grimey round. i dont think you will get the service and reliability out of it. they made 22 versions of the m16 and ak47. to keep them working it took a lot of extra cleaning and attention. then again maybe this design will work better!!
HK claws mounts are suppose to work
.RA and Mike I agree but still might get one for play may email the ATI and see if the 22mag are in the works for the mag actually sounds like a real bullet instaed of a pellet rifle.And really there is no headspace I can see on a 22rd since it the same diameter all the way from bullet to rim only the length changes.I just went and measured a 22mag OD roughly .238 and the 22Lr .223 so we are talking new barrel and new mag maybe maybe the breech would open wide enough it did on my 22Lr.Torch the guy I got my range report from is a bit older than I and I am 52 and he pulled down a quarter size group at 50yds open sights and with a quick trigger for the most part he said.Heres his target and you can see the walk to the center as he adjusted the sights ......

The .22WMR cartrige is a difficult one to eject which is why there are VERY few .22WMR (Winchester Magnum RIFLE) automatics. The early Kel-tec PMR-30s where very prone to jams of all types. I have found that only the CCI brand functions reliably. So I sincerely doubt that GSG wll reissue in a .22mag. It does indeed look good but its a tin-can plinker in fancy clothes

Wow have missed this thread for a while "Modding around". Sorry for that for my own reasons. Mike. I hate you dude. You are making me so jealous I may have to tell my wife that hair appts are now off limits to support my gun habit.
Seriously, I will be interested in your Stoeger gunsmith outcome. I have heard that OOB buys were not good. I always wanted a Stoeger if they worked. Your Colt is frickin awesome. That gun is so pritty I wouldn't care if it shot!!!
I wouldn't buy anything in .22Mag for protection (though the KelTec P30 pistol would make my decade
). Too expensive when you can buy more powerful centerfire cartidges for literally the same money and more reliable ignition. And .22LR is strictly for plinking. If that is okay for you then fine. But .22LR? NEVER for self defense. Ammo misfires are much too common.
And the KelTec bullpup? Oooooo.... looks nice, but fairly expensive for an unproven platform. If you have money to burn then I get it. Me want too.

With RA, I only had one and that was in the Army. Been looking at several at the gun shows but just the word COLT adds to the price. I like the fact that I could increase the size of the XDm's handle without having to go the custom route.
While waiting for the Luger I finally have a holster: Waffen SS Totenkopf division clam-shell style, small pocket in top for the take-down tool and interior leather strap is to pull the Luger out as it sits low and tight, longbox at the side is to hold an extra clip.
i sincerely hope no one is offended by the nazi symbols. These are history much as the decals we put on our WWII German aircraft

No offense here, Mike. Its an historical object, not a symbol of worship for you (we trust!). Agreed with your assessment of the word "Colt", though....wife and I found some Colt AR-15's at Cabelas in the used-guns rack last weekend, and the USED one (with no accessories, iron-sights only, 5.56) were $1600. The S&W MP-15 she's been wanting is half that price.

mike, that holster has to be a reproduction right? looks way too nice to be original.....wouldnt think there would be one that is that crisp and clean still out there,
The stitching looks to clean to my eyes.Also the Waffen stamp looks alittle off could be it's in leather weras I am use to looking at wood stamps.Looks cool though.
