GSG – German Sport Guns GmbH is known for producing an array of rimfire pistols and carbines modeled on popular military firearms, such as the MP 40. This single-stack removable magazine version makes legal transfer possible without NFA paperwork.
For anyone converting their GSG-MP40P pistol into an SBR, the ATI 922r-compliant stock kit is an indispensable piece of equipment. Among its components are a steel folding butt plate and a magazine floor plate to complete this mission.
It’s a clone.
GSG produces both pistol and rifle versions of its MP40 submachine gun. While the pistol is an aesthetic replica, US law does not consider it an authentic MP40 weapon; thus, the manufacturer redesigned their weapon with an underfolding stock permanently fixed into place for added authenticity. While imported straight as is, rifle models require further modification before entering US markets.
ATI MP40 Underfolder Stock Installation Kit is an essential accessory for those converting their GSG MP40 9mm pistol into a short-barreled rifle (SBR). Crafted in America and featuring all necessary parts required for compliance with 922R standards – such as its 12L14 steel folding butt plate, magazine floor plate, and 4140 thread protector – this American-made kit provides all you need.
It may not be an ideal gun for hunting or precision shooting, but the MP40-22 makes an excellent plinking rifle. Shoot it from any position; its under folding stock and ram offer great fun shooting from a hip, as do its 22LR rounds!
It’s a fun gun.
GSG is a company known for producing German guns in.22 LR for some time now. Their portfolio includes the Stg44 and MP40 models, both of which look fantastic and provide great firing fun. Now, they are offering this same gun in carbine form; it is called GSG-MP40 and designed after WWII submachine guns as well as built with steel stampings and modern high-impact polymers for maximum reliability and ease.
The original MP40 was intended as an ideal close-quarters weapon for paratroopers and assault troops, made accessible to carry and operate in tight spaces thanks to its under folding stock design and simple stamped/cast part construction, as well as open bolt system operating mechanism – features that made it very reliable and effective. For civilian use, however, BATFE regulations required a slightly longer barrel length but kept its underfolding stock feature that made shooting from the hip possible. GSG version has a slightly longer barrel to conform with these regulations while maintaining under folding stock design to facilitate shooting from the hip.
Compared to its predecessor, which was heavy and costly, this new model is much more accessible and affordable. The GSG-MP40P features a Zamak 5 (zinc alloy) frame with polymer grip panels for reduced weight compared to its predecessor; also included is a single-stack removable magazine capable of holding two, five, or twenty-five rounds for easy reloads.
Though not an ideal hunting or precision gun, the MP40-22 remains enjoyable to use. From plinking to target shooting and young shooters looking for something non-intimidating – its two sling slots on both the back of the receiver and left front side add extra features!
The ATI GSG-MP40 9mm/22LR Compliant Stock Kit is essential for anyone with an original GSG MP40 pistol who wishes to convert it into an SBR. This comprehensive kit contains everything needed to make their gun SBR compliant, such as 12L14 steel folding stock with folding butt plate, steel magazine floorplate and thread protector (4140).
It’s a good gun.
The GSG MP40 22LR is an enjoyable semi-automatic pistol that performs admirably, featuring a magazine holding 25 rounds, a trigger blocking safety, rudimentary rear sight and front sight, but accurate at about 25 yards – perfect for plinking at pop cans and other targets!
The original MP40 was developed for German assault troops, paratroopers, and tank crews. As it utilized stamped and cast parts instead of machined parts for manufacturing purposes, this simplified weapon allowed large numbers to be produced quickly by German army factories. It featured a 10-inch barrel with a folding stock design as well as an open bolt system to load and fire ammunition cartridges.
Since then, numerous companies have produced copies of the iconic WWII blank-firing submachine gun. While not as popular with buyers as its originals, clones remain a great way to experience firing a WWII weapon!
