... or, "How to Spend A Lot of Money and Get a Lot of Weird Looks."
There are a lot of guns I will never have the chance to own. So, I'm looking to compile some information as to how one could build/modify legal, functioning "lookalikes" that use commonly available parts to acheive these ends.
The first copy I brainstormed up is one of a StG.44, using a descendant of that design to great effect, and parts of another that was inspired by the original.
Long story short, replace the standard plastic buttstock with an old CETME wooden one, remove front and rear sights, install AK front sight tower and rear sight trunnion, new wooden hand grip, slimline G3 handguard (not pictured), 30rd mags only (for right effect), and something to stick on the front of the gas tube.
Am I crazy for thinking that modifying an HK93 (or Vector V93) is the only way a "new-production" "StG.44" will ever be made?
And feel free to laugh at the picture, I was in a hurry in Photoshop...
What other classic designs might be brought back through unconventional means? A BAR with the standard operating bits of an M14? PPShs from... something?
