He did tell me he got 430 rounds of ammo - 4 mags - sling - cleaning set - and rifle for the bargain price of $3600.00 (used) looked near NIB to me.... 36 C notes...alot for most of us to pay for one shoulder toy!

Whatever happened to the availability of the new STG-44s here in the US? I heard that ATF still considers the Sport-Systeme Dittrich repros "automatic weapons" even though they're semi-auto. Apparently they don't have a problem in Canada as Marstar sells them. Sport-Systeme Dittrich has discounted them to $2400. clearance price, maybe they're not making them anymore.

If they want to sell significant numbers of these rifles to people who will shoot them, they need to offer it in 7.62x39mm as the ammo is vastly more available. Until then, it's an expensive toy that fires expensive toy ammo whose availability is in grave doubt. I second Lance’s question.

I wonder if anybody has necked that round down to 6.5. In 6.5 with the high BC bullets that rifle would be great. I wonder how close the performance would be to the mighty grendel. Pretty cool.

Just wondering about the energy comments. You say that the Kurz round was underpowered compared to the 5.56 and the 7.62x39, but the Kurz' 1386Ft Lb is more than the 1200 to 1300 Ft Lb of the 5.56 and almost as much as the 1400 to 1500Ft Lb of the 7.62x39.
