Our video guy is working on throwing together what little we go of it on Saturday. We got incredibly rained out. Snow isn't a factor down here which is cool, but man when it rains...IT RAINS.
If any of you are going to be at Knob Creek, that's the next stop on the tour for the proto MP40P, so swing by the American Tactical booth and have at! Will get you the link to the video when its all set! |

Too bad it won't make the cut before the 41P deadline. Oh well, guess we'll just have to jump through extra hoops to SBR it when it does finally arrive.

Needs more brown leather sling. 
ETA. Speaking of which, I think people would rather have a brown leather sling included with the pistol, rather than a wooden crate. Both would be best though

Pics from the NRA convention.
I hope this isn't a production model. The charging handle and the screws all over the gun in places that they don't belong will make it an absolute no-go for me. The hex screws. should also be flat head.

This makes me very, very happy! I am fine with the hex screws for the price of $650 MSRP. This will sell very well as there has been a void in midpriced pistol caliber carbines.
Thanks for the pics Sputnik! So regarding the muzzle, is that a thread protector? If so, do we know what the threads are underneath? |

WTF?
Just checked in on this. Is the redesign of the MP40 action due to the Byzantine German export laws? Because that looks like shit. And getting this to market before the election with proprietary magazines is not going to happen. How much does a legit MP40 mag go for? I was going to buy one instead of a Turk MP5 but damn those screws look like shit and scream clamshell .22 upgraded to 9mm. |

Original mags are over $100 on gun broker. |

You're also looking at the very first functional one for ATF approval, not production run units for resale. As soon as GSG gets us our first production samples I'll get pics, but it will be what it will be. It has to be cost effective and meet the regulations for import so its basically impossible for it to be identical.

I am eagerly awaiting this. I think some of the comments here are grossly unrealistic. You want an EXACT MP40...IMPORTED under current law...for under a grand???
I am more then happy to take this approximation, as there just isn't any other choice. I'm not paying $3500 for an SSR POS, and I live in a state where the real deal is contraband. Bring it on, and bring it fast! |

Any way that it will get a permanent folded stock so it will at least look correct? Just doesn't look right without that stock folded...

Update I just got from Germany:
within the next two days we have the final MP40 meeting. Once I have all reliable information on hand I will confirm the qty. for November and December. That is regarding what American Tactical will receive in late December and Late January as they come by boat from Hamburg. |

Can you clarify or elaborate on the timeline after ATI receives them (let's assume mid JAN) |

Well, I don't know how many they're sending that we'll receive in December, but I usually have GSG CTRs hit the port of Charleston on the 3rd Saturday of the month. With Xmas port hang ups (happens every year) my guess would be I'll have them in hand around the 1st. Then we send them to wholesalers, who then send them to gun stores. So probably by the end of January. We have several thousand on order with GSG so once they start actually shipping them, the faucet will be on for a shipment of them each month and they'll start to filter out there.

Just picked one up today at a LGS (East TN).
Wont fire it until Monday. Looks pretty good, no manual was included but I was able to figure out how to take it apart to inspect/lube. Looks like it was test fired a few rounds (was in sealed box). Its heavy, bolt looks well made. Bad thing was whoever screwed the wooden box together used too long of a screw that went through the wood and it scraped up the upper receiver in front of the rear sight from movement in shipping. Plus the mag and lock were just flopping around in the box so the mag got a little beat up in shipping as well. Make sure and inspect it if you pick one up. Not a big deal but always sucks to have a scratch on a new gun. Can only seem to get 26 rounds in the mag, didnt want to force it, may be a burr in the mag. I'll play with it after I put some rounds through it. 25 a mag is enough to go broke at the plinking range with 9mm :) Looks pretty authentic but of course the materials are nowhere near like an original, front sling loop is on the wrong side I think, not a big deal and works out better for using it. Should be a fun range toy. |

Ya wtf. Pics! I had to find my old photobucket account, been a while since I used it. Here is a few phone pics. Threaded cap on barrel is removed to change front sight blades for elevation, they include 5 blades. Hope this works, been a while.. 
Also noticed these have a last round hold open, didnt see that mentioned anywhere. To release the bolt you just pull the charging handle back a little. Forgot to mention it was 529.00 + tax. If it functions OK it seems like a decent price for what it is. My kid is into WWII stuff and has the usual Garand, K98, Mosin etc and he was going to buy a non-firing MP40 replica - figured this would be a little better ;) |

Saves me money I guess. Doesnt look any worse either :) It is what it is, if you are looking for a functional exact MP40 copy this is far from it. It is pretty much looks like the 22LR version beefed up internally for 9mm. For 100-150.00 more than the .22 version it seems worth it to make some louder noise at the range, at least to me anyhow. |

It just isn't nearly close enough for me, Maybe one day I'll have the money to do this kind of thing the right way.

I'm sure for 200.00 more they could make it more authentic looking, if it had a one piece magwell housing and welded non-functional folding stock it would be way closer. But for 200 more street price you are starting to compete with many other 'real' rifles. I think GSGs idea was to get away from .22lR and keep the costs down. I'll put a couple hundred rounds through it tomorrow and see how it holds up. If it functions well and doesnt get too beat up inside it will be satisfied with it. My kid already made a nice stand using the wood box for his little WWII display so its already served 1/2 its purpose. I noticed the last round hold open doesnt work unless you tilt the bottom of the mag forward, the last round hold open lever takes a lot to push it up. Took the mag apart to see why I cant get more than 26 in and everything looks OK, they supply a loading tool but after 26 it will not go down enough to get another round in. Would have been nice to get two mags, hopefully the price on new ones wont be too crazy. |
