Description:
Developed relatively late in World War II, the MP44 was a very important milestone in military weaponry, being the namesake of an entire class of weapons, the intermediate caliber, select fire, infantry “assault rifle”. Influenced by the situation on both fronts, the MP44 made heavy use of stamped components, limiting costly and labor intensive machined or forged components to critical areas and speeding production. The adoption of an intermediate power cartridge, the 7.92x33mm Kurz, allowed each trooper to haul more rounds in their combat loads, and kept the recoil manageable in a relatively lightweight arm. While the full power “battle rifle” would be the western standard for the start of the Cold War, the MP44’s spiritual children gained more traction in the 60s and 70s, and still hold a place as the de-facto standard for infantry weapons. The receiver is marked “MP44” and “9360o/44” on the left side, with the “cos” maker’s code on the underside. The forearm is constructed from stamped and ventilated sheet metal, with a hardwood buttstock fitted with steel reinforcement at the toe and heel.
