Here's a question for the technically-proficient amongst you: would it be possible to use the internals of the new MP44 to build a G43? I know that the problem in the past with trying to create a G43 has been the width of the internals leaving too narrow a margin in the wooden stock. It's early days yet, but if the MP44 internals prove to be reliable.... :?:

The MP44 internals are basically just M16 innards so are the wrong shape. The motor is in the pistol grip which the G43 lacks so makes it impossible to use. I thought the biggest issue with building a G43 was the mis-match of the magazine position compared to the M14, not the gearbox width?

it can be done with the m14 gearbox..... and there two ways to go: one is the highly risky strategy of hollowing out your expensive g43 stock - the other is to make a custom motor mount so that you can mount a trigger system about halfway down, Ive gone for the risky strategy of hollowing out the stock.... Someone else is using a G&G m14 gearbox modified to sit in an original receiver.... either way its a shedload of work, although having solved most of the probs my prototype is nearly ready only a couple more months.... :)
