I remember researching and trying this method about 10 years ago and I had breakage and sticking issues .

I would love to build one if I had the skill and equipment. I have settled for building a mp3008 / VG look a like.

Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see the finished product!

I’ve been saving for one of these since 2012 though unexpected health ailments appeared which of course cost thousands + much debt, but I’m determined to own one of these. I am a WWII history enthusiast, I’ve read every book, watched every documentary + video, and spent hours searching for any snippet of info I can find on the VG 1-5, the Volkssturm, and of German + Soviet weapons in general. The Volkssturmgewehr Gustloff has been my favorite gun since I first learned of it 10yrs ago. If I could only ever own a single firearm, this would be it.

Anyway I was commenting to mention I’ve called the listed number for “Matt or Greg” a few times to preorder one of these however it only just rings & rings. Is the phone # listed still valid?. Thank you for your time, and I am looking forward to seeing more beautiful craftsmanship.
