I've been keeping up on this since the beginning. I think it's going to be very nice and the 5000 price tag is reasonable. But do I really want/need one? I sold off all of my German stuff so the answer is ultimately no.

I bet the 8MM recoil is punishing.

Not on the MD Regulated Firearms List.

Wow. That's really cool. I think I could spend 5k in better investments

 

[Fodder4Thought]

That's freaking awesome.

Want.

Prety ballsy to take on this project. Few FG's were built anyway.

When the FG42 is available in .308, I'd buy one

When the FG42 is available in .308, I'd buy one

for 5 grand that they cost?

It's a darn cool project! I thought, like Jobu said, they were pretty rare, so at first I thought they were kit ressurections, but it looks like they're building from scratch. That makes it even funnier that the American "tribute" could reach greater numbers than the original...

for 5 grand that they cost?

Yep!

Better to spend money on guns than get .1% interest in a bank account.

Over on GK43forum.com they were discussing these. The owner (I think!) of SMG Guns posted during initial trials and builds that the recoil was about the same as an SKS. Of course, individual mileage will vary. More power to SMG for making these, but it's out of my price range. None the less, I'd love to own or even shoot one, original or reproduction.
