My buddy has one. Watch that stock, it comes loose.

Also, it needs to be roughed up a little.

Not the new updated models. It's very sturdy to me and I took it that stock off plenty and it holds just fine for now. I'll tell you in 3 months what happens :v:

Also don't worry, its going to get roughen up in a few months as well.

Naw, that won't cut it. You're going to have to lightly take some steel wool to the edges and protrusions to give it that WWII look.

My god that thing is sexy, except for that orange eye sore which is not required in Canada...mainly because we suck and our laws are weird. And customs doesn't allow low FPS airsoft guns to be imported, only guns that shoot between 407-500FPS, which means basically nobody has access to them (unless local store).

I know the AGM StG. 44 used to shoot 420fps out of the box and was listed as such. If it still does, it should be easier to import except for the whole not having a translucent receiver bit...

I already took that orange tip off, I need to find somebody with a legit mp44 black flash hider which I think I know somebody that does.

Will do sometime. If I can find some which shouldn't be hard, only hard part is making it look WWIIish without damaging it enough to me.

My only complaint on it is the fact the fire selector moves forwards and backwards which trips me out and that the fact the grip should have wood on its sides not metal.

In real life, the grips had bakelite (early plastic) sides. Paint them black after you've worn the gun and you're good.

I am dissapoint. Real wood looks good in my opinion but the rifle is already far to heavy, even in real life it was fucking heavy which it got criticized about.

Technology of the time. They didn't really get light until they replaced all the wood with plastic. To me, that's a terrible idea because the plastic on all these guns melts at a lower temperature than wood begins to burn. That's one of the reasons why the XM8 failed.
