I recently had a chance to visit Sport Systeme Dittrich, a firm in Germany that manufactures high quality reproductions of German World War Two small arms. They were the manufacturers of the PTR-44 Sturmgewehr copies about 10 years ago, and they are now working with a US partner (DK Production Group) to import their guns into the US. The first one to be ready here was the BD-38 (copy of the MP38), and the StG-44 will be the next one coming...

I think the only thing that would make Ian more excited than this is if the French reopened MAS.

Guido Schriewer

and those are damn expensive! alas. the ONLY sten option, geraet neumuenster, in germany. but for how much... the FG is like 8000€. I mean if I could sh.. cash in a heartbeat. alas... WHAT! what modernized FG?! man this is torture!

Ed McEneney

Wow that is amazing.

$6200 for the MP44 clone is going to kill a lot of interest. It looks fantastic, and unless you're Musk you'll never be able to afford an original. If they concentrated on just a few "clones" they could make more at a lower price. But, you'd win the "Bring & Brag" contest!

Considering that these are reproductions, how much of the original alloys and the materials are used?

I don't know...there's probably a good chance that the material standards are different today than in the 40s, and so while steel grades are functionally equivalent they probably aren't actually identical. Romania, for instance had to change the material specifications for some of the guns at Cugir when they moved from Soviet standards to Western ones - not a chance in actual performance requirements, but finding the right grade in a new set of standards.

Excellent to see. Some great machinery there too.
