Thanks Gunnertwo and Gunbugs for your thoughts. If I got an MP40 I would definitely shoot it. I already have a barrel and bolt I could swap out when I shoot it, so as not to risk damaging matching parts. If I sold the AMT and a good MP40 did not come along or prices soar, I could of course use the money to buy some very nice Lugers! Yeah, that could be a problem. Having that kind of money from the AMT sale burning a hole in my pocket while waiting to find an MP40 would take some will power for sure.
