Why can't I be around on a day like that?

Villiars- You say that a lot of STG44s turned up in Syria recently. Where the heck could they get ammo for them? I thought that the STG44 used a unique round? I may well be wrong here, though. Just curious.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Donzi, you are not wrong. The MP44 shoots the 8mm Kurz round.

Standard 8mm on the left, 8mm Kurz on the right

Bill,
Yeah, that's exactly the round I had thought. Again not sure where the Syrians, or anyone else, would find sufficient 8mm Kurz ammo to make the weapon practical to use now. JMHO, of course.

I think it was one of those send the guns and we'll worry about ammo later kind of deals. I know one thing, I sure wish I had one! Or two
