Poo, that's that sketch knackered then.

This is all assuming that you end up getting one.

I am still waiting for my Stg44!

The reason l want one is that it is the closest l am likely to owning one, even a de-activated one costs an arm and a leg. The bonus is that it will shoot something if only a little .22.

For the same reason I have some of the CO2 pistols as alternatives to the real ones we are not allowed to have.

Anyway patience is a virtue, the trouble is I do not feel very virtuous!

There are a couple of StG's on Guntrader, so the supply must be coming through now

Neal from Suffolk has confirmed that they have been despatched from Germany and should be with him end of next week.

So now looking forward to picking it up.

I had an update from Neal today, the rifles have not arrived with him yet.

I'd be very surprised if any of these are seen in the UK until America decides on it's gun laws and everything returns to what can be termed as relative normality.

Speaking with a US friend involved with Beretta and he reckoned 79000 Model 92's and 96's arrived from Italy to supplement US manufacture. The gun all US shooters love to hate, were all sold within three weeks!

Appears evrything is either staying or being sent, Stateside.

if you were manufacturer where would you supply Sim, the UK market is insignificant. Some ammo appears on back order till 2014....Anything for sale is selling rapidly.

Has anyone heard anything? I was in touch mddle of last week and they were supposed to have arrived on Friday. Again.

I'd give your seller a call as they came into our place about 3 weeks ago, they were shipping out orders when I was there 2 weeks ago and I saw a big pile of them in the armoury when I was there last Thursday. If you get no luck give the Tunnel target sports centre a call (01297560049, closed Wednesday's and Sunday's) and see if they can supply you one direct.

Thats exactly what I intend to do, I contacted another company who also has them in so they are about.

Thanks for the info, very useful.
