Hill and Mac had a very interesting gun at SHOT Show this year. They have taken the WWII German StG 44 and updated it while still retaining the original looks. The biggest news is that they will be available in calibers other than the hard to find original 8mm Kurz. It will come in 5.56, 7.62×39 and 300 Blackout in addition to the original 7.92×33.
