Original German WWII MP44 STG 44 Sturmgewehr Demilled Receiver Display Gun with Live Barrel, Operating Rod & Magazine - Dated 1944

Original Item: Only One Available. This is an exceptional STG 44 with original German WWII manufactured parts, built using a 70% portion of the original receiver along with 30% solid steel bar stock into a BATF compliant non-firing inert display gun! Called the Sturmgewehr (Storm / Assault Rifle) 44, it was considered by many to be the original pattern for the modern assault rifle. The MP44 was developed to give German troops fighting in Russia a means of delivering large volumes of fire at the seemingly endless supply of Soviet troops. This sample is in excellent condition, bearing original serial number 771 D / 44 above the magazine well, indicating that it was produced in 1944. It also still has a mostly legible MP44 marking on the rewelded receiver above the trigger group. The other components of the gun are non-matching, which is not uncommon. There are also multiple Waffenampt inspection codes on various parts of the gun. The display gun comes complete with an original magazine,
