Tacti-cool StG44 rifles
Sport-Systeme Dittrich, who manufacturer semi-automatic reproductions of German WWII weapons, have produced three alternative history versions of the famous Sturmgewehr 44 (StG44) assault rifle. These rifles explore how the StG44 may have developed if Germany had won the war. Legendary photographer and editor-in-chief of Bron i Amunicja Remigiusz Wilk (REMOV) took these photos at IWA 2009, an outdoor expo in held in Germany, and emailed them to me.

A big thanks to Remi for the photos and information. Also, thanks to Mehul for sending me info about the Stg44.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Interordnance was going to import these a year ago (I had a deposit on one). Vaporware so far. The ads disappeared months ago, and have not heard about the importation since. They are sold in Canada and have been for some time. The same manufacturer also makes a very nice repro MP-38 that has been imported by IO (unfortunately folding stock welded shut naturally due to short barrel).
Believe it or not, the underfolding stock model WAS produced, although the stock was made for the STG45. It was an incredibly rare prototype, and very little information is available for it, but I DO have some pictures of it!

I also have a book that details it's build and operation, as well as it's production.
