My STG44 Showed up in the Mail Yesterday. I Have ben trying to buy one for the past 2 years, But every time I got the money saved up, something came up and I had to put it off for a while longer. But This time I Managed to squirrel away enough from my income tax return to buy one. AND ITS GORGEOUS! Someone asked how I Found one. Well,, I Contacted the Manufacturer several months ago, around the time of the Katrina disaster. Shoei had 12 STG44s left in stock at the factory and an Un known number of magazines at that time. I Asked them to set aside 6 Magazines and 1 rifle for me to purchase after I got back from Louisiana. Well, I didn't have the whole amount till I got my tax refund on feb/4. I Had ordered 6 mags already from back when they still had them in stock. by the Time I actually Ordered the STG44 there were only 4 left in stock, and no magazines. So, End result, I Now have a Shiny new Gas powered SHOEI STG44 with 7 mags. Now, about the weapon, :oHOLY COW, WOW! Ya, that about sums it up. its awesome. Although there are no "Production codes" or waffements stamped into it, It dose have serial Numbers and even a little "eagle stamp" with SS Runes stamped underneath. I Just Got it, and haven't found everything out about it yet. ( Still looking for the friggin hop up, is there one?) But a review is un-necessary as Gordak already submitted one far better then I could long ago.

Ok, Fortunately, after studying the manual which I brought to work with me,I have found the Hop up. It appears I have to remove the front hand guard to get at it.

Well done Pred you can join the band of very happy mp/stg 44 owners i got my spare 6 mags in November (i think) it makes the gun more skirmishable, instead of 1 mag i hope you enjoy, as like the rest of us
