Anyone getting a STG-44 (22 LR) carbine?

Not possible. It's Zinc, not steel; cast, not pressed sheet metal; simplified to take a generic .22 action; and the visible features are almost all fake (as relates to the 'real' StG-44)...

There was a company in Germany (still is) that makes a real semi-auto version, steel, all functional, practically identical, even in 7.92 x 33...but you can't import it, and it cost $5,000+ some years ago...I have the URL somewhere, might even be in this thread...
