I looked at the lawsuit they were talking about. From the summary I read, they partnered with True Precision to make parts for rifles. They sued for the following: 1) Breach of contract for failure to manufacture firearms, 2) reach of contract for posting a video on Vimeo in violation of the confidentiality agreement, 3)Failing to deliver on promised delivery dates on which HMG had relied (Promissory Estoppel), 4)Taking “machines, materials, parts, tools, and training” from HMG and not compensating them (Unjust Enrichment), 5)Holding parts that they had made hostage, thereby preventing HMG from delivering to customers (Interference with performance of a contract), 6)Negligent misrepresentation in claiming that they could produce the StG, 7) failing to return the machines, parts, and tools (Conversion).

With CNC manufacturing being what it is, there is a real opportunity for repro firearms such as this. I am really interested in the StG-44. I wonder what other firearms might be re-produced.

[@Schlabbeflicker]

Past limitations with these kind of firearms was that "authentic" patterns were stamped receivers, which is a method best suited for high-volume production with low per-unit cost but high capital cost. Modern CNC processes are the inverse, which is why rifles made from wholly milled parts like AR-15s are easier to be made between many small manufacturers in the US. Honestly the switch the CNC machining in the modern day really makes stamped receiver productions more expensive than the alternatives.

Ask me how I know! I am looking at a first generation PSA AK-74 lower that I bought and at the time was waiting on a lower parts kit on back order. We started having major function issues with the Gen 1 units (I had a factory built Gen 1 unit at the time as well). Then PSA decided to “make it better” with a second generation version. The shitty part is the lower parts kit for Gen 1 was stopped being produced and when all us Gen 1 AK-74 lower holders asked to get it upgraded to a Gen 2 so we could build it out…PSA said tough shit, go buy the Gen 2 lower. So I am looking at a PSA AK-74 Gen 1 lower paperweight that has been sitting on my desk for several years now. I vowed never to support PSA again and I live in SC and am only 45mins from them.

This in 300 Blackout would be awesome. The loads for a 300 are nearly the same as the 7.92×33mm Kurz, but much more available.

[@33Luger]

Plus you can suppress it in 300BO! SQUEAL!

[@vicnighthorse]

I couldn't see buying this gun in anything but 8x33. It's not like this would be one's SHFT or even home defense gun.

[@W9HJBill]

@@vicnighthorse True, but it's not like this is an original. It's a modern update. There are some design and safety changes as well as semi-auto only, so I can't see paying 50% more per round (and much less available) for 7.92x33mm Kurz. But your point is taken.

[@sirboomsalot4902]

@@vicnighthorse I honestly could see people doing some shtf or home defense loadouts with these if they are reliable enough. It’s a new production rifle only based on the STG action, so it’s not like there’s the guilt associated with modifying and using a historic firearm.

I had the luck of shooting an original STG-44 at a gun show that was at an open range in 2016. For a then 73 year old gun STG was a beast to shoot, the Germans were ahead of their time.

[@gameragodzilla]

I can’t wait to have one of these in 7.62x39. Hopefully it’s reliable. One thing I’m a tad concerned about is it seems like the magazine release is in an awkward place. It’s a bit too far forward to hit with your trigger finger like an AR, but the button is on the opposite end of where you’d grab the magazine with your thumb like on the original. Hopefully an “ambi” option is available at some point.

Clicked the video and saw this familiar face and voice and nearly shut it off. Would be nice seeing someone from PSA holding/talking about this, because this amigo is not who I'd want shopping it around. There's a reason he quoted the '14 Lawyer' comment. Funny he thinks one built by PSA but with 'his' Companies name would be more sought after. Those are the guns I would avoid. BIG THANK YOU TO PSA for rescuing the project from the derelict duo and and delivering.

[@traumaisbest]

I gave my AK and SKS to my son as I wanted to get rid of one of the calibers I had to buy ammo for. Now with this jewel, I would buy one in 5.56

I'm excited for this project to rise from the grave, but I'd be lying if I said the wind didn't get drawn from my sails somewhat when the interview started and I just flashed back to videos from 2017 assuring us all that Pre orders would be shipping next month. I *know* there were technical issues and I *know* there were legal proceedings which had to take their course, but still I have my reservations until I see actual products in consumers' hands and impartial reviews of the final product. Good on PSA for tackling this. Hopefully it all works out and everyone who placed Pre orders gets what they paid for. I'll certainly lay my money down if things pan out.

[@chrisstrawn4108]

Interchangeable barrels and calibers is why this has been a dumpster fire for now over three quarters of a decade...

@@BA-lt2tx “seems like” being the key phrase lol

[@sirboomsalot4902]

@@BA-lt2tx The reason it was a dumpster fire was HMG planning those features when they didn’t have the production ability to make it work. PSA *does* have the ability to make it work

[@BA-lt2tx]

The dumpster fire was caused by their inability to make the different caliber versions work reliably with different types of ammo. There is a reason why no major manufacturer offers this kind of feature on any production rifle. But besides, there is something borderline retarded in offering an overly complex and expensive feature like multi-caliber swap on a historic gun repro which did not have it on the original.
