GSG StG44 Real Wood .22lr HV – Self-loading Rifle

German Sport Guns GmbH is a German weapons manufacturer that specializes in the production and sale of sports weapons and recreational weapons. German Sport Guns, also known by the abbreviation GSG, manufactures various types of weapons, including small-caliber pistols, small-caliber rifles, self-loading rifles and a wide range of weapon accessories. The weapons from German Sport Guns are characterized above all by innovative ideas and the demand for high quality and reliability. Since GSG was founded in 2002, GSG has been able to establish itself as one of the leading manufacturers of small-caliber weapons in .22 on the international markets. Historical weapon replicas, such as the Colt1911, MP40 and the StG44, are among GSG’s most popular products.

The GSG STG44 in .22 caliber is a semi-automatic rifle that is a tribute to the legendary Sturmgewehr 44, which was one of the first assault rifles in the world. The GSG STG 44 is known for its striking historical resemblance to the original Gewehr 44, although it uses the smaller .22 Long Rifle cartridge.

The STG44 small-bore rifle is made of a metal body and barrel with a high-quality wooden stock that mimics the look and feel of the original. At 16.3 inches long and weighing 10 pounds, it is a relatively light and handy rifle. The semi-automatic weapon is visually and ergonomically almost indistinguishable from the original STG 44. One notable difference is the .22 caliber, a popular rimfire cartridge known for its low recoil, affordability, and wide availability. The small-bore ammunition offers a pleasant shooting experience, making it suitable for beginners, plinking, and target shooting. The low price of the .22 lfb cartridge allows for extended training sessions without driving up the cost. The GSG STG 44 is a small-bore self-loading rifle, which means it fires one shot per trigger pull. The small-bore repeating rifle 22 lfb offers you a 10-shot magazine that perfectly rounds off the authentic look. A 25-shot magazine can also be purchased. Aiming is done via an open sight with a rear sight and front sight. This is a front sight with a front sight protector and a rear sight that can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally. The trigger is a single action trigger with a trigger weight of 2,500g

To ensure that the small-bore rifle functions smoothly and safely, it is necessary to use small-bore ammunition 22 caliber with an extra strong load. Such 22lr ammunition is called “HV”, which stands for high velocity. The higher speed of the 22 lr HV ammunition ensures that the bullet has greater kinetic energy, which leads to improved ballistic performance. This has a positive effect on the precision, trajectory and penetrating power of the bullet.

The GSG STG44 is one of the semi-automatic weapons for sport shooters, as the original weapon was introduced before September 2nd, 1945. The 22lr rifle can therefore be purchased by sport shooters with a pre-entry in the green gun ownership card (WBK). For hunters, however, it is possible to purchase it as usual with a valid annual hunting license.
