PSA is resurrecting the STG-44!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- STG-44 reproductions have been in the works from Hill & Mac Gun Works for a while, and now Palmetto State Armory is onboard to bring it across the finish line! The STG-44 reproduction is part of PSA's new "Battlefield" line of retro inspired guns. There area few modern touches such as a new magazine pattern, and a tweaked gas system to help make the gun more shootable, but the look and feel is faithful to the original.

If these actually wind up in people's hands and work decently, it will make PSA the coolest company in the industry for the next hundred years.
I better be able to purchase a fully automatic version too
@@robertstaats7839 unlikely because these are for commercial sale, and part of a special line
With the bump stock ban overturned, do you think there might be a wood stock version in the works to match this historic weapon?
They already are

I keep telling people PSA is one of the only American firearms manufacturer taking risks to bring innovative new and cool firearms to market. I’m buying one of these. So amazing.
And Keltec. But that's more quirky
If you can find one in stock
I wouldn't nessasarily use the term "innovative" but I do get what you mean and totally agree.
@@famedgaming1865
I would
@Teddy Fresh Considering the fact that all modern-day designs are based on patents and schematics from the past 110 years, I'm gonna have to ask. What would you say is innovative?
(Not mocking, just real question hard to relay that in word form.)
It’s such a gorgeous gun isn’t it. Ahead of its time, futuristic, retro and yet timeless all at the same time.
What a great comment. Agreed
Hopefully PSA reinforced the gas tube - the original gas tube was flimsy.
Would look a hell of a lot better without that ugly ass wood stock and grip.
@@daleford8621no it wouldn’t. Wood is superior to polymer. Get over it.
Most people did nazi coming
I don't own a gun, and I live in a country where one can't own one. But even I am excited. The idea of a seamlessly updated line of iconic historic weapons that you can fire and not feel bad about ruining a museum piece seems genius.

I remember when HMG said guns would ship "soon" for YEARS, I have no trust in them. PSA is the only thing giving these guys cred
^^^THIS^^^ .....100% AGREE!
Hmg took people's 5k deposits for like a decade, promising stupid stuff like ar mag and AK mag receivers.
I looked at the lawsuit they were talking about. From the summary I read, they partnered with True Precision to make parts for rifles. They sued for the following:
1) Breach of contract for failure to manufacture firearms,
2) reach of contract for posting a video on Vimeo in violation of the confidentiality agreement,
3)Failing to deliver on promised delivery dates on which HMG had relied (Promissory Estoppel),
4)Taking “machines, materials, parts, tools, and training” from HMG and not compensating them (Unjust Enrichment),
5)Holding parts that they had made hostage, thereby preventing HMG from delivering to customers (Interference with performance of a contract),
6)Negligent misrepresentation in claiming that they could produce the StG,
7) failing to return the machines, parts, and tools (Conversion).
I don't trust HMG, but PSA has often delivered on promises. No MP5, but much of the R&D on this STG had already been done and PSA would probably only have to make some minor changes, inhouse production, and ship it.
@ja0298 that's dirty so it may haven't Bern there fault
Love them or hate them, I think psa embodies the spirit that gets a lot of us into the firearm world more than any other company
That’s a really good description actually
I have the GSG STG44, in .22 of course, and it is a fun plinker. I am definitely interested in this, in 5.56. That is amazing that it accepts AR mags.
I think a version with tack rails would be SICK
@@Vernich762 Yea me too - they might have something like that in the works.
I was fully prepared to be disappointed by this. But the different caliber options and the features that it has while still maintaining the Stg44 look and feel is awesome.
Been promised since 2015. Lets hope it actually comes out this time.
it would have been DOA if they only offered it in 8kurz.
Facts
@@soylentgreen7074 it's PSA! It will
The different calibers and other silly features are what sank this project originally by making it way more complicated than it needed to be. If it was only 7.62x39, it would have come out back in 2015.
Hey PSA….. if you see this, PLEASE keep it up….. I will go out of my way to get all of these from you guys! Battlefield Rifle line= AWESOME
100%! What an excellent idea. So many of us gun folk love the history of firearms. I can't imagine PSA will have any trouble selling out. I would love to see a Garand and M1 Carbine also.

What other guns are in the 'battlefield rifle line'?
@@albertoriviera8616 They'd have to make them cheaper than the fulton armory ones
@@albertoriviera8616 Just buy an original Garand from the CMP.
PSA is making big moves lately. I love it.
PSA and Zastava USA been crushing it last 3 years
Sure they are. They've been teasing these and MP5 clones for years now and never delivered. The most you'll get is their Sabre, AK and JAKL lines now.
@@andreivaldez2929 it takes time
8 months and still no news when it comes out x.x
While I've always wanted an original, or at least a clone in 7.92×33mm Kurz, the fact that PSA is going to offer them in the more readily available 7.62×39mm Russian makes me want one more.
Or even in 300 blkout is reasonably clise to 7.92 kurtz
An STG44 in 7.62x39! Damn, I love PSA even if it takes years for them to get it out, & the first batches can be a bit problematic. Love hearing about the Battlefield lineup but the STG44 is a great place to start!
@@therion5458 just manage the recoil better, EZ.
Cheap ammo in 7.62x39
@@therion5458 When it comes to the 7.62 cartridge, I personally don't care about follow up accuracy. The reason I would want that ammo in this type of firearm is to blow holes through trees and the people hiding behind them. I don't care if I can't score two shots in the leg, the first shot is going to blow their leg off! 🙂
@@AMSRexMPH POW!!!!! My kind of countryman -Salute!!!!!!
@@johnjimmy8074
That's not how real life works, bro.
I'm drooling thinking about the possibilities this could bring. I always wondered why no one did repros of iconic WW1 and WW2 era rifles. Now here we are with palmetto looking to do just that.
Lawyers
The reason is identical to why the airsoft market doesn't have every firearm model even though it is much cheaper, the market just isn't there. Most people barely shell out the money to buy an AR and a handgun, usually it is one or the other. Very few people will buy unconventional or dated models. Usually most people spend money on ammunition as their primary expense.
@@Oberkommando Views are a lot different than sales.
Ian at forgotten weapons did a video covering that. It's just not a large enough market to be worth producing them. It's not worth the money.
the Federov automat would also be cool to have, but all the reproduction guns are probably too much of a niche part of the gun buyers market.
Here's to hoping a blued finish is available, would do wonders for making it look more historical
I just think the blued finish just shows off the complex stampings a lot better than matte black. I also hope they have a darker stock and hand grip options too. If it doesn't have a blued finish than I suppose it's possible to get a custom finish done.
Talking with a PSA employee who is in the know has told me that it will only be offered in a sprayed black finish. And it will not be available for at least another year keep waiting. And don't buy the first run literally wait another year
Thank God- I'm tired of only having a .22lr version.

7 months later and no updates
I’m so pumped for this, never would I have guessed they’d ever make this gun again, it’s literally been my favorite gun for years!
why is it your favourite gun ?
With CNC manufacturing being what it is, there is a real opportunity for repro firearms such as this. I am really interested in the StG-44. I wonder what other firearms might be re-produced.
Past limitations with these kind of firearms was that "authentic" patterns were stamped receivers, which is a method best suited for high-volume production with low per-unit cost but high capital cost. Modern CNC processes are the inverse, which is why rifles made from wholly milled parts like AR-15s are easier to be made between many small manufacturers in the US. Honestly the switch the CNC machining in the modern day really makes stamped receiver productions more expensive than the alternatives.

I have a GSG 9mm German manufactured MP40 which is pretty cool.
@@theodorechillI have one too, it's a lot of fun to shoot
@@dallaselgin2636 He11 yes it is, get to relive the glory days.
I remember back in the early 2000s when a company was producing STG 44 replicas, chambered in 7.92 Kurtz, 7.62x39 and 5.56x56. It was in a Shotgun news magazine. I was too young to be able to buy one at that time, but thought it was cool they had it chambered in modern ammo as well.
Never been into retro stuff but I’d be happy to see FG42 in this line as well
Well you are going to be happy then. Someone has been working on a clone of the FG42 for a while. The first version is going to be in 9mm to make it cheaper to shoot. It is made by Rhineland Arms. The original designer of the AR57 and other cool shit.
smgguns makes a reproduction FG-42. costs a pretty penny though
@@MichaelStroup I saw that one and it doesn't look very similar to the original. The SMG Guns one is how I want it to look, I don't want rails or modern features.
An FG42 in 7.62x51 and 6.5 creedmore would be tight.
@@MichaelStroup "clone" is generous. Maybe if you squint hard enough you could call it a clone, but it's nowhere near close enough in action or design to be considered a "reproduction"
Thats so awesome, Shotshow 2023 is already way better than 2022. Modern Touches on a classic design that maintains the originals look and feel is exactly the type of thing I am interested in.
Me too! I've found myself getting bored with modern firearms. As far as utility, I own guns that are the pinnacle of modern firearm technology. So, where do we go from here? The Battlefield line seems to be the answer to that. I'm finally excited about getting "new" guns again and I don't have to spend $5,000 on an original piece of history.
@@Centermass762 Exactly, finding out that I am too young to have ever collected older firearms at a reasonable price was a deep letdown, I don't care if they are originals or modern reproductions, only that they are cool and that I want one I can shoot.
@Watario Vids GSG MP40 is awesome.
Who wants modern touches on a 70 year old design? Why not just make an actual reproduction of one in a modern caliber, instead of this garbage? It looks like an aborted star wars prop gun. Seriously it looks like straight garbage
@@watariovids1645 The sad part is that our parents could have bought a dozen colt pythons back in the day for the price of one used python now. Same goes for a lot of things.
I give my dad crap sometimes like “Hey genius. Where are our crates of Chinese AKs and colt revolvers!?!?”
This gun was first announced in 2015. Mac has been stringing people along for almost 10 years now.
Yep. Remember the VLTOR Fortis 'Bren Ten'??? Remember the Kodiak 'Auto Mag'? Me either.
I ordered one of these 4 years ago from HMG and was wondering what happened. I got my money back and now I still think I will buy one. I am a huge history guy and I look forward to having one in my hand.
They wont make it they will make some ar15 garbage build and call it an stg44 and everyone will accept it like they did woth their "mp5 clone " in shot show 2018
I have had the GSG 22lr reproduction for years. I live near a giant Mercedes Benz plant in AL. When some Germans from the plant saw the STG at the range they flipped out. I will definitely get in line for one of these in rifle caliber.....:) IF PSA is handling them, they will stand behind them.
I got a gsg5 aswell. Love shooting it, but the mags suck. When I load more than 10 rounds they start to split down the middle and jams up the mag follower. Original production mags. Not pro mag
I was going to buy one of those but might have to wait for this now
@@TheSamplebridge wrap those suckas with a good tape and some glue inside to help keep em together
BS!Perfectly functioning StGw44 can be had in Germany for years from Sport-Systeme Dittrich!
I had one of those too. It was a fantastic rifle, but I wanted more so I sold it and got a Tavor. This on the other hand, with the promise of getting a possible fully functional STG44 is just too good to pass up!
I hated to have to ask for a refund on my original STG order but after 3 years decided it was time. Got it with no problems. I wish the guys the best with this iteration of the STG-44.
They wont make it just like they didnt make their mp5 clone .... typical psa bait and switch to sell you ar15 garbage in the meantime
Wow, youd still be waiting lol
This is the coolest thing any firearm industry has done in a long time. There is a plethora of classic firearms that I think would make a killing on the market if someone would make updated versions of them.
Dude that's so freakin awesome. Finally a repo STG. One of the coolest guns ever made. Nice job.
Had HMG not gone straight for multi-cal off the bat and say, stuck with 5.56, they'd probably have had product out when they promised years ago.
With PSA at the helm, i'm hoping it'll be even better than anticipated.
yup exactly what screwed them.
A lot more of the issue was with their subcontractors for the parts, the engineering I don't think has changed too much since they started taking preorders. People put too much trust into the word of certain guntubers whose sources are typically "it came to me in a dream" tier
@@radical026 I was sceptical but hopeful.
@@radical026 Yeah, from what i gather, lawsuits against True Position, they didn't deliver on parts and held on to HMG's tooling after being asked to return it when they broke their contract. Kinda shit but what can you do?
@@JimBrodie I don't think True Precision can be blamed for all of it
I'm always thrilled to see retro designs back into production. Here's hoping there are plenty more options coming to PSA's Battlefield lineup soon - I'd love to see some new production Garands once the CMP's supply runs dry.

FINALLY ! A company that values the classics as well as modern firearms! Ill be looking for this one at my local shops!
PSA is kickin' it up a notch or 4 with their new products.. pretty impressed!
I have never seen hop more excited or hopped up on a product than in this interview he is clearly ecstatic to get his hands on one of these
It is really iconic looking gun historically speaking. Some modernization and a psa product makes it really cool too. Psa is reaching into some peculiar segments that's for sure.
Because Hop is sympathetic to nazis
My jaw dropped when I heard its not gonna be a .22 LR, but .556, .300 ACC, 7.62x39 and even the original 8mm kurz! This is amazing, I want one
Love that they went to ar-15 mag pattern. For anyone in California with Freedom week mags, now we can have this gun with standard cap mags.
I'm glad to see that something other than the 22LR version is going to be available. I think this should be offered in 9mm though.
Next up MP40, Sten, and Grease gun.
I played with that STG44 and talked to Mac about it, and I'm legitimately hyped. This thing is gonna sell.
Foreign Mercenaries in all the future conflicts gonna be loadouts💀
How's the length of pull? Is it short like an AK or better?
It's cool to see PSA develop itself into a powerhouse in the gun industry
Call them the budget AR company all you want, but their success is built on delivering what the people want, with high quality, and while saving a small fortune.
I need PSA to bring back tons of WW2 guns. M1 carbines, Stg 44, Sten guns, PPSH, etc..
Auto Ordnance makes an m1 carbine, pretty affordable too
So happy that Marty McFly went back in time to standardise these old day rifles
Love to see this is actually happening. The battlefield emblem on the side of the historical looking rifle is egregious tough. Hope they rethink that aspect.
Agree
Came to post the same thing. It totally ruins the look of the gun, I'd be fine if they actually stamped something into the gun so it'd be a bit lower key and more historical looking (even if not accurate to the real thing) but this is totally out of place. It's especially bad on this particular gun since it's the sort of thing a lot of people will buy more as a wallhanger than a shooter.
Is it easy to remove something like that? Just curious if anyones removed something like this before
maybe its just for the shot show "display" one? also could you just sand it off or something?
Glad to see others agree, the gun is beautiful and the stamp is so Gotti. Also I don’t want to scrap/sand off something I’m paying a pretty penny for already here’s hoping they do a more tone down version
Woah Hop actually smiled for once , you know this is peaking is his interest for sure now .
He's gonna do a STG vs G3 vid as soon as he gets home and away from James.
His interviews crack me up. He's got RBF (resting bored face). You know he loves his job but damn he looks like he would rather be anywhere else.
more botox is what he wants
Very happy to see Marty from Back to the future intervieuw a man with a gun he broughed.
Clicked the video and saw this familiar face and voice and nearly shut it off. Would be nice seeing someone from PSA holding/talking about this, because this amigo is not who I'd want shopping it around. There's a reason he quoted the '14 Lawyer' comment. Funny he thinks one built by PSA but with 'his' Companies name would be more sought after. Those are the guns I would avoid.
BIG THANK YOU TO PSA for rescuing the project from the derelict duo and and delivering.
Palmetto, I’ve said for years y’all do great things and if there is one company that TRULY stands for 2A and works more than possibly most to produce good/accessible products of all kinds it would be you guys. I hope this Battlefield line comes to life and hope to see many more retros being resurrected, some of the most exciting news from shot show thus far!

im with you on that what caliber you thinking?
@@zommbiekiller I'd have to think long and hard about that because I'd kind of like to have them all. 🤣

Killed it??? Your kidding right? 😂. You must not have been around years ago with the AK-74 fiasco.
PSA’s track record isn’t that much better… Ask us guys who were there years ago for the AK-74 fiasco.
PSA’s major problem with new items…. They get everyone excited and everyone orders the first generation, then they start changing or “improving” things and/or stop supporting the guys the bought into the first Gen stuff. Ask me how I know!
I am looking at a first generation PSA AK-74 lower that I bought and at the time was waiting on a lower parts kit on back order. We started having major function issues with the Gen 1 units (I had a factory built Gen 1 unit at the time as well). Then PSA decided to “make it better” with a second generation version. The shitty part is the lower parts kit for Gen 1 was stopped being produced and when all us Gen 1 AK-74 lower holders asked to get it upgraded to a Gen 2 so we could build it out…PSA said tough shit, go buy the Gen 2 lower.
So I am looking at a PSA AK-74 Gen 1 lower paperweight that has been sitting on my desk for several years now.
I vowed never to support PSA again and I live in SC and am only 45mins from them.
So yes..they are great in coming out with unique products but they change it so fast you will get left holding the bag in time! Good luck with this one! 😂
Okay that would be a blast in 300. Easy for handloaders and "close enough" to 8mmK to give you a very similar feel.
Saw PSA and STG and was excited, until the video started and I saw HMG was still involved, then much less so. Will see when they are actually in people's hands and are working.
2023: "We are absolutely launching this year." 2018: "We are releasing this summer." Everyone can agree this reproduction is an awesome concept. So either get with manufacturing the damn rifle or sell the tooling to someone who will. Eight years of this!
The Germans were faster at it than this. And they were dodging air raids and fighting on multiple fronts simultaneously…
When HMG said they were going to make this in 4 calibers, and swapable between calibers, I knew they were in trouble. WAY more complicated than it needs to be. Just make it 7.62x39 and be done with it!
Yep. He kept mentioning lawyers so there must be a legal reason for this, otherwise...why?

Looks like it was primarily a 3-rd party issue. PSA owns so much stuff they can avoid that issue.

I'm so glad I can get one of these and not the .22LR version. I was almost considering getting the one of 200 imported from SSD, the last one I saw sold on GubBroker went for over $11,000. As long as these are made well and don't jam a lot I will definitely be interested in getting one.
PSA is the only part of this that gives me hope. I think HMG bit off more than they could chew with the initial design, but hopefully it finally comes to fruition.
I gave my AK and SKS to my son as I wanted to get rid of one of the calibers I had to buy ammo for. Now with this jewel, I would buy one in 5.56
As someone who always wanted to take one and go plinking with it, but obviously they were always scarce, this is grand news.
On a different note, I hope that companies like them follow up on this, and take other guns that are hard to find and introduce them to the public so that, we can all experience them.

@@vicnighthorse True, but it's not like this is an original. It's a modern update. There are some design and safety changes as well as semi-auto only, so I can't see paying 50% more per round (and much less available) for 7.92x33mm Kurz. But your point is taken.
@@vicnighthorse I honestly could see people doing some shtf or home defense loadouts with these if they are reliable enough. It’s a new production rifle only based on the STG action, so it’s not like there’s the guilt associated with modifying and using a historic firearm.
@@vicnighthorse People who don't want to reload
I am a History Buff and I love this offering. When I 1st saw it I immediately thought it would be a .22. Nope I was wrong. I am happy for the gun industry and hope this keeps the sizzle in gun sales.
So cool, I'd love to get one.
Hopefully, they turn out as good as they sound.
I want a PSA Battlefield M1 Carbine!!
I mean of all the guns they should make why a carbine, you can buy those anywhere
@@neonwhitea.1548 everyone thinks they are made with gold on the inside now
@@SwheatCents I agree but a new production m1 is still gonna cost like 800-1000 dollars which is about what the old ones cost anyways unless I am way behind on the market
The gun world just keeps getting better and better. Would love to get one of these but likely it will be quite a wait list.
I’ve got 21 months before I can buy a gun legally again and another 4 to 8 after that before I get my permit rights restored, so I’m not in a hurry and my dad sure ain’t going to buy it for me. ( turned my guns over to him for the duration of my sentence)
Nov 8 23 still waiting.....

Somewhat analogous to this, in the world of synthesizers there are companies out there reproducing classics that most people want and could never afford (the originals). It's a great place to be, being able top buy and experience something very close to the original and newly manufactured.
That is funny, considering just how bad all the early synthesizers were. Very familiar with first gen. Hilarious how retro works...
@@BeingFireRetardant It depends what you call bad. Some of the bad things about retro objects are also the things that endear them to us.

Well, I cannot disagree with you. Some people think wood stocks are stupid. I personally love them.
But man, I just remember how awful early synths were at replicating certain sounds. But yeah, if that's your jam, enjoy it...
Man, I hope that they finally pull through.
They need to do a BAR and FG42 next!
Ohio ordnance already makes a Semi auto BAR.
@@WALTERBROADDUS Yea I know I had one. They are $6500-$7k now. Would be nice if PSA made one for under $3500.
@@WALTERBROADDUS the HCAR is cool if you wanted an updated BAR but for those who lust over the OG version.......
@@Beltfedshooters No one's gonna make a BAR For that price.
@@joeclaridy Ohio-Ordnance makes those too.
That is awesome! I'd love to see modern productions of more old guns. If you guys ever make reproduction shotguns too, like the M97 with the heat shield and bayonet, I'll be first in line!
mossberg 590 retrograde i got one

PSA is killing it. Give me more H&R retros
Putting one of these on my wish list. Might not go with the 7.92x33mm, considering the price of ammo, but it's great that it's going to be available in 5.56mm. I'm sure the reenactor community is buzzing about this.
PSA I believe also coming out with a line of 7.62x39, 5.45x39 and 7.62x54R ammo as well.
@@stevep4030 PSA has gone from the "guys that make mid tier cheap ar-15s" to "the last bastion of truly gun loving gun companies"
@@stevep4030 IDK about 7.62x54R. That would require a different mag and mag well.
Absolutely hyped for this model. Nice to have a historic variant without the collector cost.
HMG preorderers be like "lol lmao"
Hasn't it been like 8 or 9 years since HMG announced this?
Nobody cares because it was ugly
Yeah it's been "ready to release" for a long time now
Like the guy said in the video.... They were held up by legal battles.... so hopefully the wait is over
@@gundude82 You can see how pained he is introducing it lol
These were ready to ship in like 2018 😂
I just love that retro look, I’d buy one for sure.
I love how there's more background noise once you start talking about suppression. xD
Can't wait for these to become available. I wonder what MSRP will be.
With the amount of RnD involved I’m thinking 1200$
In the interview SteveMP5 did they said "north of two grand".
@@ICanFeedTheDoglol the preorders were $1700, he said it’s higher than that.
@@ICanFeedTheDog lol. Why post? It's obviously over 2k. This is the minimum price these gun companies been targeting for any nice rifle.
I would guess north of 2k under $2,500 I hope lol.
I am so Happy You guys are being able to proceed with making theses!
When I was a kid I had this in an airsoft and I was a real ripper. Can’t wait for this to hit the market.
Awesome, I hope it doesn't suck. One of the coolest firearms ever.
FG-42 next?
