Which book is the best for Sturmgewehr?

alvin · 09-03-2017, 09:41 PM

Searched Amazon, they listed a few:

(1) "Sturmgerwehr!" by Hans-Diete Handrich
(2) "The German Assault Rifles 1935-1945" by Peter Senich
(3) "German Automatic Rifles 1941-45" by Chris McNab

Which one is the best? Or, if the best one is not listed above, which one is the best? Thanks

Sturmgewehr! is by far the best at this moment. Pick up the revised edition direct from Collector Grade Publications. You wont be disappointed. Senich's book is also a must have, a lot of great info in that one as well. I might have an extra copy of that one laying around, have to look.

Also check out http://claus.espeholt.dk/mp44.htm

I'd trust in a man/woman with the username 'stg44fan'

Thanks for the info. I will order those two books. Also will read that site.

Back a couple of weeks ago, there was a MP44 for sale on gunbroker.com, but I was traveling in a foreign country, so I did not call the seller. Also, it's a big ticket item, I thought I'd better view some samples before buy anything... but it's gone now. Will wait next one. They appear on market from time to time.

Roughly, how many of these are on Form 4 in the NFA system, any estimate?

I could not tell you haw many are in the BATFE system. Cant be that many.

I noticed the one listed by Legacy, it came from Julia. Also noticed a couple of samples in RIAC coming session... will watch the auction without bidding in this coming session though... it's a high value item, I sold many nice C96s to fund a single MP44.. I will do my homework first. Thanks!

The site has a technical problem. They ask a security question, I think my answer being correct, but still fails security check... is this wrong? Rifle=16", Shotgun=18"... I tried converting that to centimeters, millimeters, still not work...

Pretty sure your answer is correct. Cant say I had any issues setting up my account.
