GSG STG-44 .22 lr

[straight-shooter]

Ugh, I got handed the late schedule at work this week so this one won't be going out any time this week. On the bright side I scored 4 bulk boxes of .22 ammo so hopefully soon I'll be able to get the STG-44 out.

There's been one of these at Bradis for months.

Actually it has been several different ones.

We also have one in right now without the fancy wood crate that is quite a bit less expensive.

I finally took this rifle out to the range today and it was absolutely stupendous! It fed cheap Winchester 555 and never missed a beat! Only downside is this thing can chew through ammo like a monkey on a cup cake.

Accuracy was more than acceptable and bordering on great! 50 yards and it was poking holes in and around the X. Very fun rifle but is considered a plinker and nothing serious as I knew this going in. No regrets on this one.

Those things are cool as ****. There was one sitting at my LGS not long ago that I got to handle and I was impressed. Now I just gotta come up with some money.

sigh...

My son got one a few months ago.... great fun to shoot !! Definite fun buy. Mags have been hard to find though......

I found one dealer on GunBroker who was selling at a very reasonable price with free shipping so I snagged 3 extra mags. I think they were $36.95 each, not great but the best price anywhere I found on the net.

Had one for a while. No problems but, couldn't get past all the plastic inside the receiver.....if I remember correctly, the bolt carrier and some other internal parts were plastic. Decided that IMHO longevity probably was not there. Sold it for what I had in it. No regrets.

Not exactly sure what you were expecting but it has a Ciener .22 conversion style carrier setup inside.... no big surprise on this end anyway. A .22 load isn't going to push much weight while cycling so all metal wasn't expected. From examing the build, I'm quite satisfied with it.

No intent to step on anyone's toes....no offense intended. If it works for you...that's all that matters.
