My C&R MP44 - The M4s Grandpa

[michaelkih]

I realized that I never posted this here. I already put this stuff on ak47.net and akfiles, so if you already have seen it there, sorry.

I just got this MP44, and I love this gun. It was brought back during WW2, and it's really interesting looking at it, because you see, AK, HK, M16, FAL, SKS, etc, all in this one gun. Truly a ground breaking design. I hope you like the pictures and video. I'm no professional, so go easy on me

I hate you.

Thanks for the video, it's simple but informative and you're a natural speaker. Which is good considering you apparently own an NFA Museum and I'm assuming your last name is probably Rockefeller to afford all that stuff.

MP44's are a fascinating weapon for their ingenuity and how much they influenced others (as you noted). I do find it interesting that they thought of so much yet still didn't figure out how to keep the handguard from overheating.

Did I mention I hate you?

That is extraordinary. Fantastic rifle, and good vid summarizing the similarities to later rifles. I have always wanted one of these for as long I knew they existed.

Thanks. Last name isn't Rockefeller though. I wish it was!

That's very cool, thank you for posting that.

Do you shoot Privi ammo through it? I have always wondered how people feed theirs.

Prvi. I have thousands of rounds of it. Great stuff!

Best post I've seen in a long time. You did a great job with the video. I especially liked to shots of the weird/cool tilt bolt action through the ejection port. How does it look inside?

I really wish someone would make a x39 copy of one of these
