>same four calibers
Literally why. Just make it a novelty upper that will work with any AR lower at that point if it's not going to be a straight repro. Basically it should be like an MCX or BRN-180 sold on stylized lowers with wooden stocks.
This. I understand some gun geeks like having lots of versatility but I absolutely love my streamlined collection of .22lr 9mm 5.56mm 12ga and see no reason to ever get anything else
You aren't the demographic. This is like people saying "well i wouldn't want a watch that didn't answer texts" or "costs more than $1000" or something. You were never in Rolex's demographic to begin with. They don't think about Timex at all, for the same reason a company that manufacturers those weirdo niche .22s for the olympics doesn't give 1 rat's ass what Ruger does with their .22s
i really, really, really hate buying ammo and i really, really, really hate that all the guns i want to buy next are not in these calibers.
anyways PSA is never gonna release this thing; if they do it'll be in stock like twice, and the gun will be a huge piece of shit. The front end looks good honestly, but its a shame that they didn't bother to make the stamping marks on the receiver look accurate which just makes it look like a toy and not even a real gun.
And then after the PSA krinkov
psa posted their krink too. Has the type 2 dust cover, AK105 type muzzle device, and black poly handguards like arsenal sells. I bet its a huge POS that will beat itself to death within a few thousand rounds. I imagine we will see that though since it's probably just their stinky AKP shortened up a bit more with a shitty cope combo block on it
It really boggles my fricking mind that they would put so much effort into re-engineering the tilting-bolt/hook mechanism for “authenticity while shooting” just to make everything else anachronistic as frick.
>Look at the FG42. They're at $8k now, and they're always sold-out.
Are we talking the smgguns FG-42? I was just about to put myself on the list but I thought they were 5500.
I'd imagine the FG42 market is smaller than the WWII enthusiast market as a whole, which itself is probably smaller than the AK market, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the AR market.
Manufacturers shoot themselves in the foot all the time trying to appease cooooollectors: just look at AoA with their mini-beryls. Spent years getting them imported only to have nobody buy them after the first few batches and now they have to sell them at cost. Same deal with Arsenal when they sold 5.45's.
Once the market saturates the collectors, you need to have a product that everyone wants to stay alive.
>True repros is where the money is, not trying to appease AR consoomers.
Yeah the target demographic for this sort of thing has no intersection whatsoever with the type of guy who is considering buying a $500 AR. There is no way to market an STG clone to that guy, because he is looking for a cheap AR and an STG clone will never be cheap nor an AR. Of course, the real issue with making it a true repro is that 8mm kurz is a completely dead round, whereas 8mm Mauser can still be found on the market enough to sell something in it like the FG42
I did not actually know that, but now I'm wondering why? How much demand is there actually for this round currently? How many people are shooting STGs? Are there any other guns chambered in it? Has anyone made an 8mm kurz AR yet? In any case that ammo is certainly not cheap holy shit
Well, despite how common they are, there aren't that many cartridges that fill the same shoes - alternatives are: >7.62x39 >300 BO
Also, there are still new K98K's being chambered in it...for reasons.

It's in some demand in the Eastern bits of the Middle East and chunks of Africa, there are a bunch of 8mmKz guns floating around in both.
>Yeah the target demographic for this sort of thing has no intersection whatsoever with the type of guy who is considering buying a $500 AR
Now you're getting it.
That's the point. Them making it in 5.56, 300blk, etc. means that it's not an actual reproduction, and should just be an upper. A real reproduction would be $8-10k and only in 8mm Kurz.
An upper won't even resemble an STG; at least this comes close. The area above the trigger is the only egregious aesthetic deviation; the finish isn't great but can be fixed.
An upper that will universally fit AR lowers, but is also offered with a stylized wood-stocked lower made to look more like a real STG is what I had in mind.
What is your target segment? AR gays? History gays? Wehraboos?
You can't convince me that your piece of shit would appeal to any of these people significantly enough to create product.

Consoomers like everything else PSA makes. The entire point is making it more accessible since it's not an actual reproduction. >It was already posted in this thread. $4k.
For a German parts kit that isn't imported anymore due to Biden's homosexual ass.
The Mkb42(H) would have been good for this, as is pretty similar to the ar trigger group.... actually why didn't the gaygs at HMG just make this instead? They could've just put an AR trigger on it and call it a day, it would have looked a thousand times better than their current atrocity
yeah i mean why the heck wouldn't they offer it in a dead caliber that no one uses or makes except one company that charges more than $1/round for the 5 people who actually have authentic WW2 StGs. totally unreasonable!!1!
A nice money making opportunity is gonna come from snatching whatever stg 44 parts you can get. Plenty of people are gonna want to put as much original parts and furniture as they can. Those demilled wall hangers might make for a nice return
Wait, why? Is there some kind of actual demand for this shit? They should be turning out Ruger 10/22 clones for half the prices now that Ruger thinks they're worth at least $300 each.
Import taxes and I somehow doubt ruger gives a frick about euros enough to send enough volume to bring the prices down.
Tbh just get a bolt 22, most 22 semis aren't that great and the 10/22 definitely isn't worth what they charge these days.
yes, it's the most badass rifle every made. We deserve a quality, affordable repo. If Nazi Germany could churn them out by the thousands America in 2023 should have them as well.
just make it in 7.62x39 holy shit. I don't care about the internals just make it look like an STG
The problem is that stamping has a high up front investment and a low per-unit cost. When you try to make a gun built for stamping by milling it, you might have low set up costs, but you will inevitably use more material and time. Since American consumers aren't inclined to pay 1000$ for what is essentially a novelty enthisiast gun, much less 3500€, these aren't sold in America anymore.
922 is a motherfricker, to import them in and to tool up the needed parts will inflate the rifle to 6k a pop. Which yeah there is a market but for anything north of 2K will be a niche market
There is a demand for these.
The imported kits sold out within one week for $4k a pop WITHOUT a barrel included.
You braindead AR homosexuals just can't comprehend why people would want something other than an AR.
it'll never happen, PTR failed, HMG failed, Palmetto will fail, its literally a cursed design that makes it so no one but the germans who make a 22lr copy can do it
Don't forget the Germans who make an authentic 8mm kurz copy
Kinda weird though. A small German company can make them even though the market is relatively small, yet no American company does even though the demand is huge?
i dunno what the deal is there, maybe ptr and hmg are/were just giga tards but it baffles me that that is a thing, so are gsg 22s but multiple us companies have fricked up
A company in Kentucky has been importing parts for these for a while now, including flats and jigs to build your own receivers,
but still haven't successfully imported complete rifles/pistols.
I think they were trying to import them, but it's been stuck in ATF approval hell.

The ones in Germany are made on original ww2 tooling.
Atf and German export laws have made it difficult to import in mass . PTR imported a few complete guns that now sell for over 10k and some guy gets a few kits once in a while but it's been hard getting more than a few approved at a time

Nah, just a few noisy wehraboos. That's the reason these never come out, they finally do a cost-benefit analysis at the price they need for a reasonable breakeven point and realize they're fricked before they even start.

>We think like this here >You must think like this there
Not necessarily. Very different cultures between the European nations and the US, and also extremely different access to modern arms.
Euros are accustomed to paying far more for a gun than most Americans. Imagine if a glock was $2000, and that the absolute floor on a striker fire gun like a Taurus g2c was $1799. Suddenly you see why a lot of the super nice euro guns are often extraordinarily expensive. Their culture just is normalized for it, but that also means that you can get by on extremely small numbers of expensive guns, as opposed to America where there's about as many guns as people, so there is much more pressure on having guns be cheap as possible.
It can't compete in a market where an AR is $500. It CAN compete where it costs say $2000, and an AR costs $1900, and a 5.56 is around $1 a bullet. Because at that point you are selling either one as a niche middle class toy.
There's a lot of wisdom in this post. I'm a deprived Ausgay and my gun safe contains a $2000USD cucked straightpull that's vaguely AR-shaped, a German P226 X5, a P210, a $3500USD .308 and a few nichey milsurps because "affordable" shit isn't that much cheaper.
>yet no American company does even though the demand is huge?
Correction, the demand for a vaguely STG shaped AR is huge. The demand for an authentic STG clone that doesn't do stupid shit like use STANAG mags or G3 trigger packs? Orders of magnitude smaller.
>it'll never happen, PTR failed, HMG failed, Palmetto will fail, its literally a cursed design that makes it so no one but the germans who make a 22lr copy can do it
This anon has accidentally hit the nail on the head - 4D Chess playing Germans knew when they designed the StG that it would collapse myriad Allied arms manufacturers into the future, giving way to the Fourth Reich. Only (You) can stop the German Menace.
PSA is planning to make slavshit ammo, wouldn't surprise me if they decide to add 8mm kurz in the mix https://www.sdi.edu/firearms-news-2021-palmetto-state-armory-ramping-up-production-on-russian-ammo-calibers/

Arsenal isn't sending anymore ammo in the near future. The explosion last year delayed order fulfillment and .mil contracts have eaten up their capacity.
>same 4 calibers
It never should have been more than 2. Just do .300 blackout(literally the modern equivalent of 8mm kurz) and either 5.56 or 7.62x39. The whole reason HMG failed was because they were trying to do way too much.
>The whole reason HMG failed was because they were trying to do way too much
The reason HMG failed is because they announced and funded it off donation and then contracted a low bidding 3rd party for tooling and parts. Then the 3rd party didn't meet specs or numbers and lolsuits began. They are currently still in court with them over payment of the contract and fulfillment of said contract. HMG was a vaporware company who was inover their heads and didn't have backup capital and was unwilling to finance backup capital needed to finish the product or refund their backers. That being said I think it did a great job at convincing people to never pre order a fricking firearm like its a video game.
ouch, I feel the pain. At least I got my refund before the exodus happened so I lost nothing but about 100 bucks for a STG repro stock set, which I still have squirreled away
Seems like what they're doing is buying already developed repros. We could potentially see them buy the FG42 repro from SMG and the BAR (also HCAR) from Ohio Ordnance. I'd personally love to see an M1941 johnson repro or an RSC repro
Most gun companies know that most people will never put more than 2k rounds through a gun in 10 years so they make their products stay together for that period of time
On top of the MKE imports, Zenith is going to be making U.S. made HK33, HK33K, and G3 clones.
They said they probably won't be released until 2024 though.
>Biggest fear it would be >m16a1 >car15
PSA M16A1s and CAR15s are going to be under the Harrington and Richardson brand, rather than this new "Battlefield" thing. Yesterday, they actually had some 723s available on their site, which sold out very quickly.
M1 Carbines are probably pretty likely. There's probably a decent market for them, most of the repros are crap, and originals are a little too expensive for most people. PSA has specifically mentioned M1 Garands as something they wanted to make, but I think that's a stretch, especially considering the CMP is still a very viable option.
A competition with Mini14s would be cool, and .30 carbine is something people don’t know they want. I think a huge amount of people who want PCCs, especially the 5.7 ones, would be better off with .30 carbine. Add a few modernized elements like some picatinny towards the end of the barrel and optics mounting options and I’d take an M1 carbine over any PCC for innawoods or anything an AR isn’t suited for
>$1500
PSA is literally selling the MKE imports for sub $1k right now.
Also PSA made those promises years ago pre-coof.
Apparently the co-founder of PSA commented recently on ARfcom stating that the PSA MP5 is basically dead in the water.
palmetto sells american-made ar-15s ready to shoot for less than 500 freedombux, which is incredibly based
i'm glad to see them branching out and spending money on making shit that people wanna buy, also helps they'll be making ammo in whatever goofball calibers they'll be selling
>Oh yeah man totally I can't wait for *insert polymer framed striker fired 9mm pistol here*
anytime I go to a gun store anymore it's just these, turkshitguns, and the most bottom of the barrel tacky ARs you can think of
my dumbass cheapskate friend bought a turk pump shotgun and the thing broke after about 50 rounds, the bolt just completely unable to close. He's not poor either, so idk why he subjects himself to this.

Out of curiosity, I see the supressor there is called a "muffler", do each of these need a tax stamp or are they actually just registered as "industrial tooling" and don't need it? Kinda like those .22 short powered nail guns or something I guess.

In federal law, a silencer is specifically defined in terms of "silencing, muffling, or diminishing the report of a portable firearm". If it can only be used with a non-firearm, it's not included, no matter whether it's a non-firearm because of how it works (muzzleloaders and airguns), or because it's a tool rather than a weapon (kiln guns).
Some people just have poor decision making skills. >local shotgun club comes into lgs while im working >wants a dozen youth 20GA guns to replace beat ass remingtons >well we have these CZ pumps that should last you 20 years without issues >no I want these >he found the cheapest turkshit shotguns we sell >I don't think you'll be satisfied with those, we keep having them come back with iss- >STOP TRYING TO UPSELL ME YOU RUNT >fine frick it >sell him 12 of them >3 weeks later 8 of them come back with various problems >a few have bolts that won't lock, a couple had the lifter mechanism break, one had the barrel fly off

Kek, I was about gone by that point so I couldn't be fricked, but that would have been pretty funny
I hope they at least use the right alloys and heat treat the oprod and bolt.
When PSA gets it right, I'll buy one in based 8mm Kurtz (assuming they offer it).
what the hell are the "4 different cartridges" then? PSA has said that they plan to offer 4 different cartridges. The HMG options were (supposed to be) 8mm kurz, 7.62x39, .300blk, and 5.56. Surely they won't be stupid enough to scale the STG up for .308, right? How much crack would you need to smoke for that?
Can somebody explain why is this shitty design so hard to remake?
It's been made in bombed out factories in the 40s, what is so hard about making it in 5.56?
with ptr if can barely remember but there was some internal strife and frickery going on. In HMG's case poor decision making with subcontractors plus ambition outstripping means seems to have fricked them
Stamping is hard for small workshops to do, especially when they're trying to reach a large market with a low price point.
Anyway, the Germans make an exact replica with no problems, so I'm going to chalk it up to American moronation.
Just the trigger group has more parts than most guns have total, and they're all stamped which has an absolutely gigantic upfront cost to get going and only makes sense if you have guaranteed demand (military contract, established market for civilian sales)
Misleading post.
Half of those parts are bushings that are pressed into the stamped receiver.
You don't knock those out on a regular basis... or for any reason at all.
the point is the cost of hand fitting and pressing those parts is awful, its exactly why the germans never mass fielded the rifle for their whole force. The rifle needs to be simplified a bit to make it make sense to bring back from a business perspective.
Uh, the manufacturer is concerned with assembly, not disassembly. They still need to tool up, source material, produce, and press in all those god damned bushings on the line. All that costs money.
As nice as this news is, remember that this is the same company that has yet to release a standard A1 clone a year after announcing it and two years after buying NoDak. This also is from a company who shits out ARs on the daily, so the odds of releasing a gun that sunk another company who was making nothing else and was focusing on this one rifle is a pipe dream
>PSA crap AK
a buddy of mine has one of their new 5.45 aks, it's pretty good build quality tbh. It's a better build than his aresenal import. The finish is better, the gun is built in a straight line and the front sight doesn't need to be cranked to one side to shoot straight. I never understood the PSA hate
>I never understood the PSA hate
They took a page out of Tesla's book and beta test on the consumers. The product will eventually turn out fine...after the third generation.
It's because PSAs are fine but most american gunbuyers got burnt on domestic brands like pioneer, vska, and IO (press s to spit).
I bought one of their first GF3s and had no problems but you'd have people on the akfiles and /akg/ screaming and shitting their panties about perfectly normal wear marks and then rob ski would have to do a debunk video and PSA torture test and they'd ignore it because the entire population of /akg/ is reddit sysadmins and not actually people that like slavjank or slav surplus or the common man shooting a gun.
because the mindset of >they will only buy it if it's in a readily available caliber >stanag mags are the way to go, even though they make proper repro steel mags
is the reason why you will never see a true STG clone
Who are these even for? It doesn't look like the same, so enthusiast wouldnt buy them, normies sure as hell wouldnt touch this when 500 dollar ARs are "too expensive" and HMG couldn't get it running anyways, how much could they have lowered the price? 1.5k instead of 2k? Seems like a stretch
>it has a normal AK dustcover >stock wrong >handguard wrong >spacing between trigger guard and magwell wrong >clamp on bipod
my initial excitement is gone and my day is ruined
If it looked the part, was like $300, and didn't suffer from turk quality/QC I would buy that shit but it doesn't even look the fricking part. It just uses the same receiver as their other """AK""" shotguns which is disappointing as frick. And it seems no one imports them, no wonder why. They do have a gay smart shotgun though. Imagine being security and being cared about so little not only are you given not only a fricking Turkish shotgun to do your job, but a "smart" Turkish shotgun at that.

What else do you guys hope they release. I'm hoping for a smol Garand in 5.56.
>Could the feasibly fit 10 5.56 in an 8rd 30.06 clip?
Putting 5.56 directly into a .30-06 clip wouldn't work. For a clip of comparable height you'd get slightly more than 10 rounds of 5.56, but I was thinking more along the lines of an overall scaled down gun that only held 8 or 10 rounds of 5.56. Between the ban state market and the market for an M1 Garand style gun that was vastly more affordable to shoot, I figure they'd sell a lot.
>Between the ban state market and the market for an M1 Garand style gun that was vastly more affordable to shoot, I figure they'd sell a lot.
Try to get the weight down and offer a model with a polymer stock and they'd also get the market for people who want a lightweight, sleek, and easy to carry carbine. This could actually be a winner for bringing a new rifle design to the market.
This.
There are two markets for a gun like this; Those after novelty and those after historic value.
The realities of supply and demand in the US gun market, and ATF regulations, means that you can't market to just one of these two and still have it be affordable.
That they managed to hide the modernization so much is pretty amazing.
How the frick are they going to fit 8 kurz, 7.62x39 and 556 im the same magwell
the HMG guy may have explained it in one of the InRange TV shilling sessions, but my guess would be that the 5.56/7.62/300 all fit the AR-15 magwell, Kurz is shorter so the mag may have a blocker and integrated feed ramp at the front to accommodate it.
Ok this is epic. I'll be thoroughly impressed if they actually pull it off. Just please get rid of that hideous giant logo on the side of the gun. Nobody wants to buy a "historical" LARP gun covered with gaudy branding or warning labels for idiots about reading the owners manual before use.
so its gonna be shit then

psa posted their krink too. Has the type 2 dust cover, AK105 type muzzle device, and black poly handguards like arsenal sells. I bet its a huge POS that will beat itself to death within a few thousand rounds. I imagine we will see that though since it's probably just their stinky AKP shortened up a bit more with a shitty cope combo block on it
It really boggles my fricking mind that they would put so much effort into re-engineering the tilting-bolt/hook mechanism for “authenticity while shooting” just to make everything else anachronistic as frick.
>AR upper STG
frick you, no
Because diehard fans are the one that pay big bucks.
Look at the FG42. They're at $8k now, and they're always sold-out.
True repros is where the money is, not trying to appease AR consoomers.
>Look at the FG42. They're at $8k now, and they're always sold-out.
Are we talking the smgguns FG-42? I was just about to put myself on the list but I thought they were 5500.
They are, if you're willing to wait a year.
If not, they pop up on GB for $8k-$10k now and then.
I'd imagine the FG42 market is smaller than the WWII enthusiast market as a whole, which itself is probably smaller than the AK market, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the AR market.
Manufacturers shoot themselves in the foot all the time trying to appease cooooollectors: just look at AoA with their mini-beryls. Spent years getting them imported only to have nobody buy them after the first few batches and now they have to sell them at cost. Same deal with Arsenal when they sold 5.45's.
Once the market saturates the collectors, you need to have a product that everyone wants to stay alive.
>True repros is where the money is, not trying to appease AR consoomers.
Yeah the target demographic for this sort of thing has no intersection whatsoever with the type of guy who is considering buying a $500 AR. There is no way to market an STG clone to that guy, because he is looking for a cheap AR and an STG clone will never be cheap nor an AR. Of course, the real issue with making it a true repro is that 8mm kurz is a completely dead round, whereas 8mm Mauser can still be found on the market enough to sell something in it like the FG42
Privi Partisan still makes 8mm Kurz
I did not actually know that, but now I'm wondering why? How much demand is there actually for this round currently? How many people are shooting STGs? Are there any other guns chambered in it? Has anyone made an 8mm kurz AR yet? In any case that ammo is certainly not cheap holy shit
There's a locally made STG clone sold in Germany.
Well, despite how common they are, there aren't that many cartridges that fill the same shoes - alternatives are:
>7.62x39
>300 BO
Also, there are still new K98K's being chambered in it...for reasons.
>Also, there are still new K98K's being chambered in it...for reasons.
Where? I want one
>I did not actually know that, but now I'm wondering why? How much demand is there actually for this round currently?
It's in some demand in the Eastern bits of the Middle East and chunks of Africa, there are a bunch of 8mmKz guns floating around in both.
>Yeah the target demographic for this sort of thing has no intersection whatsoever with the type of guy who is considering buying a $500 AR
Now you're getting it.
That's the point. Them making it in 5.56, 300blk, etc. means that it's not an actual reproduction, and should just be an upper. A real reproduction would be $8-10k and only in 8mm Kurz.
your probably the gay that unironically thinks this was a cool idea
Frick you, that is a cool idea.
An upper won't even resemble an STG; at least this comes close. The area above the trigger is the only egregious aesthetic deviation; the finish isn't great but can be fixed.
An upper that will universally fit AR lowers, but is also offered with a stylized wood-stocked lower made to look more like a real STG is what I had in mind.
I can tell you have no concept of marketing.
What is your target segment? AR gays? History gays? Wehraboos?
You can't convince me that your piece of shit would appeal to any of these people significantly enough to create product.
It was already posted in this thread. $4k.
>What is your target segment? AR gays? History gays? Wehraboos?
Consoomers like everything else PSA makes. The entire point is making it more accessible since it's not an actual reproduction.
>It was already posted in this thread. $4k.
For a German parts kit that isn't imported anymore due to Biden's homosexual ass.
The Mkb42(H) would have been good for this, as is pretty similar to the ar trigger group.... actually why didn't the gaygs at HMG just make this instead? They could've just put an AR trigger on it and call it a day, it would have looked a thousand times better than their current atrocity
yeah i mean why the heck wouldn't they offer it in a dead caliber that no one uses or makes except one company that charges more than $1/round for the 5 people who actually have authentic WW2 StGs. totally unreasonable!!1!
>with any AR lower
It looks like an inoperable disease same as glock mags
Because 8mm kurz is so easy to get
PSA will probably make their own 8mm Kurz ammo soon if their factory actually pans out lol
A nice money making opportunity is gonna come from snatching whatever stg 44 parts you can get. Plenty of people are gonna want to put as much original parts and furniture as they can. Those demilled wall hangers might make for a nice return
Idiot
Smooth brain
Wait, why? Is there some kind of actual demand for this shit? They should be turning out Ruger 10/22 clones for half the prices now that Ruger thinks they're worth at least $300 each.
If they made a bullpup 10/22 that you could takedown without a bunch of screws I'd buy 5 of them
Can anyone explain why 10/22's are so damn expensive in Europe?
A second-hand one will run around €300-€400, while new ones are over €600
most likely reason is you gov taxes them heavily upon import and upon sale
It’s hard/costly to import guns into Europe
Import taxes and I somehow doubt ruger gives a frick about euros enough to send enough volume to bring the prices down.
Tbh just get a bolt 22, most 22 semis aren't that great and the 10/22 definitely isn't worth what they charge these days.
10/22s are pretty crappy anyway, just buy CZ or something
yes, it's the most badass rifle every made. We deserve a quality, affordable repo. If Nazi Germany could churn them out by the thousands America in 2023 should have them as well.
There is a demand for these.
The imported kits sold out within one week for $4k a pop WITHOUT a barrel included.
You braindead AR homosexuals just can't comprehend why people would want something other than an AR.
Bro, the chud market is YUGE.
FRICK YES.
Now I don't have to wait on that fat frick at HMG
"Wait" implies there will be a result. The HMG-44 will come out around the time Blockbuster makes a triumphant return.
Give it about 10 more years for streaming to be further fragmented and it ends up costing $120/month to have the same catalogue as 2016 Netflix.
I was gonna say 'Did they buy out Hill&Mac', and apparently it looks like it.
Weren't they supposed to start making ammo too?
Don't know anything about it.
They are making ammo already
Is it in 300blk?
They need to quit fricking around and make a belt fed ar upper
it'll never happen, PTR failed, HMG failed, Palmetto will fail, its literally a cursed design that makes it so no one but the germans who make a 22lr copy can do it
Don't forget the Germans who make an authentic 8mm kurz copy
Kinda weird though. A small German company can make them even though the market is relatively small, yet no American company does even though the demand is huge?
i dunno what the deal is there, maybe ptr and hmg are/were just giga tards but it baffles me that that is a thing, so are gsg 22s but multiple us companies have fricked up
A company in Kentucky has been importing parts for these for a while now, including flats and jigs to build your own receivers,
but still haven't successfully imported complete rifles/pistols.
I think they were trying to import them, but it's been stuck in ATF approval hell.
I got lucky with my kit.
The ones in Germany are made on original ww2 tooling.
Have you built it yet?
>The ones in Germany are made on original ww2 tooling.
Then the logical solution would be to import those in the US, problem solved.
Atf and German export laws have made it difficult to import in mass . PTR imported a few complete guns that now sell for over 10k and some guy gets a few kits once in a while but it's been hard getting more than a few approved at a time
I see. Stupid laws strike again.
>a company in Kentucky
WHO?
DK production group, you can already buy STG44(BD44) and MP38 kits from them
You see the problem is that Americans can only read English so we don't know how to read the German blueprints.
The problem is that stamping has a high up front investment and a low per-unit cost. When you try to make a gun built for stamping by milling it, you might have low set up costs, but you will inevitably use more material and time. Since American consumers aren't inclined to pay 1000$ for what is essentially a novelty enthisiast gun, much less 3500€, these aren't sold in America anymore.
>demand is huge
Nah, just a few noisy wehraboos. That's the reason these never come out, they finally do a cost-benefit analysis at the price they need for a reasonable breakeven point and realize they're fricked before they even start.
Well the German company seems to be doing fine. If there is enough demand in Europe then surely there is enough demand in the US
922 is a motherfricker, to import them in and to tool up the needed parts will inflate the rifle to 6k a pop. Which yeah there is a market but for anything north of 2K will be a niche market
>We think like this here
>You must think like this there
Not necessarily. Very different cultures between the European nations and the US, and also extremely different access to modern arms.
Euros are accustomed to paying far more for a gun than most Americans. Imagine if a glock was $2000, and that the absolute floor on a striker fire gun like a Taurus g2c was $1799. Suddenly you see why a lot of the super nice euro guns are often extraordinarily expensive. Their culture just is normalized for it, but that also means that you can get by on extremely small numbers of expensive guns, as opposed to America where there's about as many guns as people, so there is much more pressure on having guns be cheap as possible.
It can't compete in a market where an AR is $500. It CAN compete where it costs say $2000, and an AR costs $1900, and a 5.56 is around $1 a bullet. Because at that point you are selling either one as a niche middle class toy.
There's a lot of wisdom in this post. I'm a deprived Ausgay and my gun safe contains a $2000USD cucked straightpull that's vaguely AR-shaped, a German P226 X5, a P210, a $3500USD .308 and a few nichey milsurps because "affordable" shit isn't that much cheaper.
>demand is huge
highly debatable.
this
and even then, most of the people who want it won't be able to afford one over $1000
>yet no American company does even though the demand is huge?
Correction, the demand for a vaguely STG shaped AR is huge. The demand for an authentic STG clone that doesn't do stupid shit like use STANAG mags or G3 trigger packs? Orders of magnitude smaller.
>the demand for a vaguely STG shaped AR is huge
Someone post "it".
outside of the stanag mag usage how is this an AR?
>it'll never happen, PTR failed, HMG failed, Palmetto will fail, its literally a cursed design that makes it so no one but the germans who make a 22lr copy can do it
This anon has accidentally hit the nail on the head - 4D Chess playing Germans knew when they designed the StG that it would collapse myriad Allied arms manufacturers into the future, giving way to the Fourth Reich. Only (You) can stop the German Menace.
just make it in 7.62x39 holy shit. I don't care about the internals just make it look like an STG
>just make it in 7.62x39
Why would you want that after Biden's ammo ban? 5.56 is cheaper now.
it hurts me so much that this is true. What's my poor SKS gonna eat now?
>What's my poor SKS gonna eat now?
KUSA is bringing more ammo, i still see wolf and the serbs are still going at it
im c*nadian :((
PSA is planning to make slavshit ammo, wouldn't surprise me if they decide to add 8mm kurz in the mix https://www.sdi.edu/firearms-news-2021-palmetto-state-armory-ramping-up-production-on-russian-ammo-calibers/
Also, arsenal makes some good shit that's imported under the global ordnance brand
Plus the KUSA Azerbaijani imports
did they confirm the KUSA stuff is azervajina shit?
KUSA finally admitted that it was imported from Azerbaijan after they got called out a million times
That's based though? Every AK dude I know loves third world slave labor shit.
Well they kept implying it was US manufactured
They bought the tooling to make slavshit style ammo in Missouri
i forgot about them thats pretty recent toyeah
also i swear aside from serbia proper i saw some stuff from Bosnia recently too
Problem is arsenshit is expensive
I’ve seen it going between 35-40cpr which seems to be the average price for 7.62x39 right now
Arsenal isn't sending anymore ammo in the near future. The explosion last year delayed order fulfillment and .mil contracts have eaten up their capacity.
always count on bulgarians to frick up
PSA Slav ammo
Steel casing. So it's just more imported slavshit. Fricking yawn.
what did you want as a slavshit owner?
brass case 7.62 ball at 90 cents a round?
No, they're making it, they have the tooling.
PSA already has a ammo plant
I want to be hopeful but I feel like it's going to grenade my saiga
i'd almost trust it more, it's all junk really
Well Iv shot thousands of rounds of Tula so I’ll take the same risk with psa ammo
Nice trips. Anyway, buy a shot psak to get your x39 fix. Save the saiga.

Cool, first I'll just have to not be poor.
>just buy a clapped out 80 year old gun that wasn't made to last in 1943 with multiple reweld jobs already on it for 45K+tip
>same 4 calibers
It never should have been more than 2. Just do .300 blackout(literally the modern equivalent of 8mm kurz) and either 5.56 or 7.62x39. The whole reason HMG failed was because they were trying to do way too much.
i suppose Palmetto has a lot of resources so thats why, but given the last 2 companies, PTR and HMG failed, they really should try and keep it simple
The PTR's we're German imports. PTR didnt do much to make it fail.
>The whole reason HMG failed was because they were trying to do way too much
The reason HMG failed is because they announced and funded it off donation and then contracted a low bidding 3rd party for tooling and parts. Then the 3rd party didn't meet specs or numbers and lolsuits began. They are currently still in court with them over payment of the contract and fulfillment of said contract. HMG was a vaporware company who was inover their heads and didn't have backup capital and was unwilling to finance backup capital needed to finish the product or refund their backers. That being said I think it did a great job at convincing people to never pre order a fricking firearm like its a video game.
yeah
>t.hmgpreorder customer
I would make fun of you, but I fell for Garand gay's shilling and ordered a $2k rifle from Triarc in April 2021 that still hasn't materialized.
ouch, I feel the pain. At least I got my refund before the exodus happened so I lost nothing but about 100 bucks for a STG repro stock set, which I still have squirreled away
PoSA amirite guise
guise tell me I'm right their guns are shit eh
What would it take to convince them to make a lever gun in .357/.44mag?
>First Entry
I wonder what the other retro guns will be? I'm hoping they make a G43 or a FG42
My bet is on a PPSh or PPS-43
>PPSh
I hope not, It would look ugly as hell with a long ass barrel.
mp40 no stock so its legally a pistol
This and the Grease Gun
Eww no, make it have a stock and long barrel so it's legally a rifle
I heard they were making a Luger PO8 repro
maybe this? Probably not enough demand for it, but I like the design's legacy and it would be cool to see a modern repro
a repro on a larger scale than picrel I mean, and in something like .300blk
Seems like what they're doing is buying already developed repros. We could potentially see them buy the FG42 repro from SMG and the BAR (also HCAR) from Ohio Ordnance. I'd personally love to see an M1941 johnson repro or an RSC repro
>We could potentially see them buy the FG42 repro from SMG
That would be amazing, I bet PSA could cut the price in at least half.
PSA Garands.
I want new M1 Carbines that actually work and new HK-93's. Nobody makes 93's anymore.
Century is going to import (real, licensed) HK93s from Turkey soon.
my auto ordnance m1 is good, no troubles after 300 rds
>300 rounds
Most gun companies know that most people will never put more than 2k rounds through a gun in 10 years so they make their products stay together for that period of time
PTR is supposed to be coming out with their HK 41 clone, which is a 33 that doesn't use snowflake mags
https://www.ptr-us.com/product/ptr-63/
>EEEEWWWWW https://youtu.be/0e-M7B93Dao
What an abomination
The plan is for PSA to remake almost all of the popular WWII rifles according to their shot show reps.
On top of the MKE imports, Zenith is going to be making U.S. made HK33, HK33K, and G3 clones.
They said they probably won't be released until 2024 though.
Are the MKE imports confirmed? Some anon claimed they were being held-up due to ATF homosexualry.
M1 Garands. They own the H&R roll mark so they can put historically correct roll marks on them.
>FG42
Specter M4
that I would buy
G43 has too many unique milled and wood parts to be cost effective in making.
Unless it’s the MG34 or m1941 I don’t care.
M1 Carbine would probably be their next target
Auto Ordnance kind of has them beat there.
Inland's better.
Is M30 based or cringe?
>Is M30 based or cringe?
Cringe.
M1's belong on a wood stock.
Biggest fear it would be
>m16a1
>car15
>m1 carbine
>Thompson
or any other manner of repro's we already have millions of
>Biggest fear it would be
>m16a1
>car15
PSA M16A1s and CAR15s are going to be under the Harrington and Richardson brand, rather than this new "Battlefield" thing. Yesterday, they actually had some 723s available on their site, which sold out very quickly.
M1 Carbines are probably pretty likely. There's probably a decent market for them, most of the repros are crap, and originals are a little too expensive for most people. PSA has specifically mentioned M1 Garands as something they wanted to make, but I think that's a stretch, especially considering the CMP is still a very viable option.
A competition with Mini14s would be cool, and .30 carbine is something people don’t know they want. I think a huge amount of people who want PCCs, especially the 5.7 ones, would be better off with .30 carbine. Add a few modernized elements like some picatinny towards the end of the barrel and optics mounting options and I’d take an M1 carbine over any PCC for innawoods or anything an AR isn’t suited for
Not holding my breath on PSA making a roller delayed German gun clone
What's the point anymore when the Turk clones are gonna be cheaper in the end?
They were originally claiming 'well under $1k', turk guns are like $1500.
>$1500
PSA is literally selling the MKE imports for sub $1k right now.
Also PSA made those promises years ago pre-coof.
Apparently the co-founder of PSA commented recently on ARfcom stating that the PSA MP5 is basically dead in the water.
yea i've been really tempted to pick one of these up. That's a hell of a deal.
because theyre turk, is this a legitimate question?
Doesn't make sense anymore with the turk imports. There's absolutely no way PSA can compete on price or quality now.
Its not a roller delayed gun
I find it funny that the poorgay AR company has more money to expand and drop cash for R&D then most Gucci companies do. Cheap shit sells.
PSA will become the Ford of firearms manufacturers.
>A customer can have any gun they want as long as its an AR 15
And just like Ford, they now make everything under the sun
>first entry in the battlefield retro line
so the m1 garand repro rumor has legs?
I’d like to see them make an op rod
They did hire the autist from Novak Spud to run H&R and their retro line. There's a chance it could be done properly.
how about you start making carry handle uppers since you bought the only company that did you SOUTH CAROLINIAN FRICKS
They are actually do long just that, PSA is showing off a A2 clone at shotshow
C7 uppers when?
No, they will continue making batches of 100 until the end of time, selling out in 2 minutes, AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!
palmetto sells american-made ar-15s ready to shoot for less than 500 freedombux, which is incredibly based
i'm glad to see them branching out and spending money on making shit that people wanna buy, also helps they'll be making ammo in whatever goofball calibers they'll be selling
I think everyone here is missing the point. This IS the HMG-44, HMG clearly failed and sold the rights to Palmetto and won't be making any.
this, the HMG preorders are going to be honored with PSA's version
>honoring the preorders of HMG
>new phone who this?
Just like my NoDak lower was(not)?
I always found repros kinda cheap in spirit. Focus on making new funs instead of imitating old ones.
Oh yeah man totally I can't wait for *insert polymer framed striker fired 9mm pistol here*
>Oh yeah man totally I can't wait for *insert polymer framed striker fired 9mm pistol here*

https://www.remington.com/industrial/masterblaster.html
>Who run bartertown?
Out of curiosity, I see the supressor there is called a "muffler", do each of these need a tax stamp or are they actually just registered as "industrial tooling" and don't need it? Kinda like those .22 short powered nail guns or something I guess.
no stamps required. they have some sort of exemption for being industrial equipment. at least that was what the old dude at the local smelter told me years ago
In federal law, a silencer is specifically defined in terms of "silencing, muffling, or diminishing the report of a portable firearm". If it can only be used with a non-firearm, it's not included, no matter whether it's a non-firearm because of how it works (muzzleloaders and airguns), or because it's a tool rather than a weapon (kiln guns).
Some people just have poor decision making skills.

you are not the target market
larpers love this shit
I'd love it if they added revolvers to their line of handguns since Taurus thinks they're a Gucci brand now.
I hope they at least use the right alloys and heat treat the oprod and bolt.
When PSA gets it right, I'll buy one in based 8mm Kurtz (assuming they offer it).
Already said they won't be offering if in 8mm kurz
what the hell are the "4 different cartridges" then? PSA has said that they plan to offer 4 different cartridges. The HMG options were (supposed to be) 8mm kurz, 7.62x39, .300blk, and 5.56. Surely they won't be stupid enough to scale the STG up for .308, right? How much crack would you need to smoke for that?
Maybe 5.45?
a round that is now hard to find and prohibitively expensive in the US thanks to Russian ammo bans. Kind of unlikely, but who knows what they will do
They should announce models for 5.7x28mm and .38 Super.
I don't want some grandpa gun, I literally just want a bullpup .308
Already exists, the MDRX can be chambered in .308
Trigger's gay.
They're out there... Waiting for you to buy them.
MDR, Tavor, RFB
Can somebody explain why is this shitty design so hard to remake?
It's been made in bombed out factories in the 40s, what is so hard about making it in 5.56?
Perhaps because we're not working in bombed out factories and it's not the 40's any more?
with ptr if can barely remember but there was some internal strife and frickery going on. In HMG's case poor decision making with subcontractors plus ambition outstripping means seems to have fricked them
Stamping is hard for small workshops to do, especially when they're trying to reach a large market with a low price point.
Anyway, the Germans make an exact replica with no problems, so I'm going to chalk it up to American moronation.
Just the trigger group has more parts than most guns have total, and they're all stamped which has an absolutely gigantic upfront cost to get going and only makes sense if you have guaranteed demand (military contract, established market for civilian sales)
What the frick
Misleading post.
Half of those parts are bushings that are pressed into the stamped receiver.
You don't knock those out on a regular basis... or for any reason at all.
the point is the cost of hand fitting and pressing those parts is awful, its exactly why the germans never mass fielded the rifle for their whole force. The rifle needs to be simplified a bit to make it make sense to bring back from a business perspective.
Uh, the manufacturer is concerned with assembly, not disassembly. They still need to tool up, source material, produce, and press in all those god damned bushings on the line. All that costs money.
As nice as this news is, remember that this is the same company that has yet to release a standard A1 clone a year after announcing it and two years after buying NoDak. This also is from a company who shits out ARs on the daily, so the odds of releasing a gun that sunk another company who was making nothing else and was focusing on this one rifle is a pipe dream
Didn't they also buy DI who bought Waffen Werks and they can't even make a good AK?
>PSA crap AK
a buddy of mine has one of their new 5.45 aks, it's pretty good build quality tbh. It's a better build than his aresenal import. The finish is better, the gun is built in a straight line and the front sight doesn't need to be cranked to one side to shoot straight. I never understood the PSA hate
>arsenal
okay I can sorta believe this. recent arsenals blow.
It took a long time for them to get to that point. A lot of unhappy beta testers along the way. I'd never buy gen1 anything from PSA.
>I never understood the PSA hate
Think for yourself and never let the moron mob tell you what is good and what is not good.
>I never understood the PSA hate
They took a page out of Tesla's book and beta test on the consumers. The product will eventually turn out fine...after the third generation.
Until then, you get stuck in RMA Hell.
It's because PSAs are fine but most american gunbuyers got burnt on domestic brands like pioneer, vska, and IO (press s to spit).
I bought one of their first GF3s and had no problems but you'd have people on the akfiles and /akg/ screaming and shitting their panties about perfectly normal wear marks and then rob ski would have to do a debunk video and PSA torture test and they'd ignore it because the entire population of /akg/ is reddit sysadmins and not actually people that like slavjank or slav surplus or the common man shooting a gun.
Go figure.

If it looked the part, was like $300, and didn't suffer from turk quality/QC I would buy that shit but it doesn't even look the fricking part. It just uses the same receiver as their other """AK""" shotguns which is disappointing as frick. And it seems no one imports them, no wonder why. They do have a gay smart shotgun though. Imagine being security and being cared about so little not only are you given not only a fricking Turkish shotgun to do your job, but a "smart" Turkish shotgun at that.

You could always try putting a bayonet on it.
I can group sabots in 3 inches at 125yards, seeth
I'd rather buy a german BD44 in 7,92X33 kurz
so would I, where pretell in the US can you find one right now? and no I'm not talking about the uber rare PTR imported ones that are pushing 10k
That pic
Rotating AR-style selector not the original push-thru and seperate selector.
This is the HMG fake-replica replica.
the hmg gun used the HK g3 trigger pack
I want an StG 45
Neat. Don't have any particular want to own one, but it's cool to see older guns getting reproduced.
I'm waiting for them to make an fg42
Just buy an SMG
>its real
>will come in four calibers
>will be shipping this year
>HMG PREORDERS WILL BE FULFILLED
>Regular unit price might be about or alive $2k
The size of that guy Jesus. Never thought HMG would bounce back
Can't imagine how much stress he's been under
All that girth is stress eating garbage and cortisol
ad is very fitting
>shipping this year
>coming from the HMG fat guy
>the gun is the same floor sample they showed 8 years ago but now with a cringe logo etched on the side
I'm not falling for that shit again. at least I was able to get my money back years ago
Muh dik

What would be the best caliber to get this in? 5.56 or 7.62x39?
8mm kurz but 300 bo is a good runner up
>smg-style bolt notch safety for no reason
WEHRABOO BROS... I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD
What in the love of frick?
>not knowing that the notch is found on the MKB42
do you even WEHRABOO?
Wasn't that open-bolt though?
yeah, thus the need for the notch
>psa will literally make a failed clone-incorrect 5.56 stg44 before they bother to chrome line their ak74 barrels
>MSRP: 2000 United States Dollars
Yeah I’m not paying that for anything PSA branded
>the Battlefield retro line is going to be old style guns with some modern modifications for ease of production and marketability
What else do you guys hope they release. I'm hoping for a smol Garand in 5.56.
Could the feasibly fit 10 5.56 in an 8rd 30.06 clip? If so and they shrunk the barrel it'd be the perfect ban state rifle
>Could the feasibly fit 10 5.56 in an 8rd 30.06 clip?
Putting 5.56 directly into a .30-06 clip wouldn't work. For a clip of comparable height you'd get slightly more than 10 rounds of 5.56, but I was thinking more along the lines of an overall scaled down gun that only held 8 or 10 rounds of 5.56. Between the ban state market and the market for an M1 Garand style gun that was vastly more affordable to shoot, I figure they'd sell a lot.

Try to get the weight down and offer a model with a polymer stock and they'd also get the market for people who want a lightweight, sleek, and easy to carry carbine. This could actually be a winner for bringing a new rifle design to the market.
too me it looks like an stg there fore it is
simple as
This.
There are two markets for a gun like this; Those after novelty and those after historic value.
The realities of supply and demand in the US gun market, and ATF regulations, means that you can't market to just one of these two and still have it be affordable.
That they managed to hide the modernization so much is pretty amazing.
TFB just uploaded a video with Hop taking a look at it. Looks like they are planning to do all 4 calibers, including 8mm Kurz.
Is Hop a girl
Just kidding I know he’s a man
Also, he says it will cost "slightly more" than the HMG preorders (which was $1800 IIRC), and they will be "absolutely" launching this year.
How the frick are they going to fit 8 kurz, 7.62x39 and 556 im the same magwell
>filename
kek
the HMG guy may have explained it in one of the InRange TV shilling sessions, but my guess would be that the 5.56/7.62/300 all fit the AR-15 magwell, Kurz is shorter so the mag may have a blocker and integrated feed ramp at the front to accommodate it.
Ok this is epic. I'll be thoroughly impressed if they actually pull it off. Just please get rid of that hideous giant logo on the side of the gun. Nobody wants to buy a "historical" LARP gun covered with gaudy branding or warning labels for idiots about reading the owners manual before use.
