HMG is bringing a "working man's" reproduction of the MP-43/StG-44to the market. They have made some improvements and simplified the design some; but at heart it remains a faithful copy and not just a clamshell look-alike.
Unlike other reproductions, these will be much more affordable at an MSRP or $1799 and will be offered in different, more available, cartridge options such as 5.56, 7.62x39, and .300 BLK in addition to the original 8mm Kurz.
Original pattern for the purists as well as modernized models will also be offered along with shorter barrel and even pistol versions.
I'm super excited to see these come and hope they live up to expectations.
HMG's website and a few videos by InRangeTV can explain far better than I can.
