Sup /k/ so the preorder has been up for a few days now, Any /k/ommandos pull the trigger yet?
>Surely I can't be the only one who took the plunge
>>28080183
I would but I have not enough money. Maybe once I sell one of my cars.
>>28080183
I wish. It's 2000. That's a couple hundred shy of an entire paycheck for me. (biweekly)
I could save for one, but it's more of a novelty. I hope that someone I know, or someplace I go has one that I can try out. This pattern of rifle should be special for anyone who appreciates the history of firearms.
How about the other STG coming to us?
>>28080183
What version are you getting?
>>28081100
>Only in 8mm Kurz
>Extra mags are 300+
>5 Grand
but y tho
>>28081221
Why do they bother? They are going to get their clocks cleaned by HMG.
>>28081266
Exactly HMG fucking made the right call in terms of modernizing the design for mass production.
>>28081318
i would rather have a modernized, stronger stg 44, its something i could shoot more often without fear of breaking

Holy shit, it's actually affordable.
I may actually buy one when I move back to America.
>>28080183
I'll grab my pre order beginning of next month.
Do you know if they charge immediately or just take your information and bill you when they ship?
>>28080183
>purchase gun because muh wwii and it looks cool
>turns out the design isn't great at all
>thousands of gun owners with buyers remorse
Are there any pictures of a finished product? Not just the 3D CAD designs?
>>28081765
Buuuulllshit, you really think that's possible?
>>28082370
It's not done yet
>About the same price as a good battle rifle or really high end AR/AK
$5000 StG clones BTFO
>>28080183
>Anyone still makes 8mm Kurtz
OP here,
>>28081202
7.62X39 I was really torn btwn the 8mm kurz or 7.62X39. When it came down to it the 8mm Kurz is almost impossible to find and when found it is made in small batches and is almost $1.00 /round. And the point of getting the rifle is to enjoy shooting, so the 7.62 was the way to go for me.
Plus the 7.62X39 is basically a shortened 7.62X54r in the same idea the germans did with the 8mm kurz and they are both roughly 30cal and to me is a good alternative.
I can also get the conversion kit... but honestly I'll just leave it as is
>ib4 300 blackout
same issues with the kurz above only not as expensive, but not as avialbe as 7.62X39
>>28081375
They also take the money up front, I called about a deposit and they said not the the stg, but for the Cetme L they do though.
If your going to pre order better do it quick the Pre orders end in 1/19/16. After that date they will debut samples at shot show, finish off the pre ordered guns. Once shipped they will accept regular orders. The pre ordered ones though get an extra mag, sling, drop in pic rail section and a take down tool of some sort.
>>28082370
There is a 3d printed sample on the one Ian in range video

I cant have it in my state, they wont ship it.
>>28082907
NY?
>but they ship to CA??
>>28080418
You're pulling ~$3600 a month and can't handle a $2k gun? You might need some better money management.
>>28080183
Not preordering one, at least not now. Definitely going to get one when they are available though.
Everyone is saying that 7.92/8mm Kurz is super rare, but PPU makes the stuff and it's available right now. So I'll probably get one in that chambering.
But if the 7.62x39 magazines they make don't look disgusting, I may go with that instead, since it's cheap and already have an AK.
I guess we'll get a look at things like that closer to when they go on the market though.
>>28083042
I wasn't listening super terribly closely, but from Ian's video it sounded like they're just making one magazine with different followers. I know for certain there's only one mag well design.
>>28083042
the mags were a concern to me too, but I called the guy in the video (the owner) and chatted with him, he told me that the 7.62 X39 mags will be the same mag tube as the other calibers, so the external will look legit, albeit a litter wider. You can't use Ak mags or HK33 mags
>>28083070
yes you heard right
>>28083108
> 7.62 X39 mags will be the same mag tube as the other calibers, so the external will look legit, albeit a litter wider
You mean no retarded 7.62x39 STANAG mags like implied in video?
>>28082620
>He doesnt have a G43, K98, M1 Garand, M1918A3 BAR, Auto Ordinance Tommy
Bruh wtf
>>28083070
They only mag they are making is the one for 8mm Kurz, the x39 is going to use the crazy curved AR mags, and the 5.56 and .300 are using normal AR Mags
>>28083165
>the x39 is going to use the crazy curved AR mags
Fuck that, I'll load x39 into the 8 kurz mags.
>>28083199
the 20 round X39 AR mags actually dont look that bad
>>28083222
>222
HIGHLY POTENT 222 AMMO STG CONFIRMED
>>28083165
>implying that I'm not a US gunophyle, The thompson 16inch carbine sucks, If I'm going to go Thompson i'd get the SBR one and the paperwork hassle always stops me.
mfw on the wall next to them I have the Garand, M1 carbine, M1919A4, 98K, M1911A1, P08 Luger, P38, Type 14 Nambu, and on the other side there are the nuggets, pps43, rpd, Tokarev.
>still hoping / saving for a nice M1903, Ohio Ord BAR, and BREN. And if dreams really come true... DSHK in 50bmg
>>28083022
Holy shit, this
what kind of retard shenanigans are you blowing your money on
>>28083251
What makes them suck? I have a friend in Nevada who has one and he said its a fun gun.

No they are not, Fucking spoke to the damn owner of the company,
To quote the phone call "If you hold the original and the new mags to the light they will have the same angle to them"
>>28083164 Yes annon, dreams do come true
>>28083284
No shit really? That fucking awesome. HMG sounds like a really good company, I hope they can bring us some other cool guns
>30-06 Pedersen now
Please for the love of fucking god
>>28083283
>The long ass barrel just makes my dick soft.
The thompson family is just one of those guns that look good with the short barrel
>>28083311
>>28083283
see wat I mean
>>28083311
>Not using it as an opportunity to make an M1923 Thompson
Come on guys
>>28083332
they have one too, but the only Thompson that gets me off is the M1, or M1A1
>>28083358
need tbqh
>>28083284
It's a fucking Christmas miracle
>>28083283
lol MFW I grew up watching Tales of the Gun and saying to myself, one day I will have that, and that, and that...etc
>>28083431
>iktf
I remember when they did the Luger episode and they interviewed Micheal Krause. 15 Years later I end up fucking shopping in his store looking at a .45 Luger and then he tells me the price
>tfw never ever
I have a problem doing a preorder for a gun, that wont ship for 7 months.
I want one.
But ill wait for the released version and pay the extra cost.
>>28083455
not a bad idea to play it safe bro.
>>28083455
>>28083465
They need cash to keep the project going...
If this turns out to be a hit perhaps they'll do the Gerat 06 and 06H
>>28083507
hopefully they do an mp40
>>28083517
the MP40 would be tits, but I think it would be easier to do the other two first, same mags, trigger group, and G3 bolts
>>28083517
This
>>28083507
That would be sweet
>>28083517
ATI is already doing an MP-40
>>28083534
>ATI .22lr
there's the door ====>
>>28083544
No they are going to start bringing one in chambered in 9mm, they announced it at Shotshow this year
>>28083554
Aren't they also doing their own STG as well?
>>28083554
yeah I seen those in the pics. Look like they are made with the same die cast molded receiver as the 22lr one. If they were stamped sheet metal that would be different then
>>28080183
I'm excited to see the Ian and Karl reviews, along with threads from new owners on /k/.
>>28083554
>>28083554
the internals are completely different though, that's why people don't like it
hmg is making a spiritual successor to the stg, ati is shoving out the HD remake
>>28083570
They are doing the 22 lr but I dont know if they doing a real STG
>>28083581
Oh god is it really? Fuck me thats gunna suck dick
>>28083581
That might be a prototype. If they do make it out of stamped steel hopefully they offer it as a rifle.
>>28083614
yeah and from the review here, http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/01/20/gsg-mp-40-9mm/
Guy said it has a rotating bolt, Hopefully it changes, but If it stays like that configuration it'll be a pass for me :(
>>28083636
I don't know why anyone I'm their right mind would make a 9mm rotating bolt.
Bump this shit for glorious Sturmgewehr
