Buffalo gun buyback nets StG44

Clearly visible in the video, not mentioned in the report. I hope word gets back to the donor on how bad they screwed up. I suspect they got about $100 for it.

Was it a true StG44 and not one of those .22 cal rimfire reproductions?

Hard to tell from the video, but it looks like a .22 copy.

I'm no expert, but it looks patina'd to me.

If only they had flipped it onto the other side, we would have been able to see the tell tale slot in the magazine. But the finish looks way too uniform to be a last days of the Wehrmacht manufactured rifle.

Would like a way to get say 10,000 crap rusted non working guns and bring them to a buy back

It sure does!

I'd say it's real based on the magazine.

Thing is the .22 rimfire versions only have the slot on one side. 2013417122951-ati_stg-44_001_m.jpg

I'd say it's legit, there's a very brief moment where you can see that the receiver slot for the charging handle extends all the way back, where the .22 version is only about 3" long. It also looks to be in very..."surplus" condition in all the right places. Lastly the mag is a bright blued finish where all the .22 mags I see are a dull/flat black.
