What happened to the HMG Sturmgewehr

Recommended Posts

While I doubt there are 15 round magazines available, I wanted to get one of these eventually. But I don't hear anybody talking about them, or see them for sale or anything. What happened to them?

Look into Military Arms Channel on YouTube... they did a few videos on them.

 

Short story, they are having issues getting it to run , while keeping it accepting the original parts, and doing it in such a small company. They still seem to be working on it, but don't use previous ETAs as a measure of seeing it.

 

Good news... if you call it that, is they are offering different calibers and different magazine offerings. Personally, I rather the original design, but some people might like it taking AR magazines and in 5.56mm.

Yeah, I'd like it in 8mm kurz, but that's a fairly rare milsurp round compared to .303. 8mm, etc. So something offered 8n 7.62x39 would be close to the original, but without the ammo difficulties.

 

I really want one, but haven't seen any in the wild. I love the idea of reproducing civilian versions of cool milsurp guns that are either rare, expensive, too collectable, or NFA and as a result are difficult to shoot.

I had contacted them in Oct or Nov about ordering one. They wanted it paid in full up front for potential delivery in April. Considering they hadn't shipped any yet, I thought that was way too risky. Now I'm seeing on their site it says they won't ship any firearms to NJ...........

ATI... same people that do the GSG-5.

.22 is no fun for that. I'd like a little recoil with it. That's what's always turned me off of the ATI.

 

plus I'm not even sure if it uses the same mechanism, I think it just cosmetically looks like a sturmgewehr

It isn't anywhere near the same system... just like a GSG-5. It is blowback. Charging handle works the same, but like the GSG-5, bolt locks back on empty magazine. That is a good thing, especially for a .22.

 

Wasn't giving it as an option for you... just pointing out the brand for brucin.
