SG-43 Semi-Automatic Goryunov 7.62x54R for sale
AimSurplus are selling a semi-automatic version of the belt-fed SG43 Goryunov machine gun. Their guns are build from original polish kits on new semi-auto US made receivers.
This gun is perfect for those of you who do not think the AR-15 offers enough protection from incoming fire. A shield comes standard and while it may not be tacticool, there is nothing cool about being hit!
The Goryunov was developed by the Russians during WWII and later copied by the Chinese. It served until the 1960’s.

I find the armor design strange. It is inclined on a negative angle, deflecting incoming rounds down, instead of up and away from the shooter like tank armor. Anyone want to shed some light on the design decision?

These guns are available from GunBuilds.com. They are built on your kit and good barrel. There is usually a 6 to 9 month wait due to backlog.
Does anyone know what happened to "P.M. Goryunov?" I can't find any reference on any site relating to the inventor, except for this gun here. No family, date of death, no history at all.
