[…] he had something nice to say about us, in a longer post on reverse-engineering; to be explicit, reverse-engineering the MP44 trunnion. But forget what he says about WeaponsMan.com, how cool is it to be making an MP.44 trunnion for […]

I am not sure. I will weigh it when I have an opportunity.

Kerwin.
I agree with the over engineering.I would really like to build the complete rifle one day. Other projects take priority first though.

Your article on reverse engineering the MP44 trunnion was fascinating! I’d thought about making an MP44 knockoff in caliber 5.56 NATO and using an M16 magazine but when I looked at a copy of the blueprints I realized that it was much more complex then either the AK47 or M16, I gave up on the idea. The Germans tend to overengineer everything! Anyhow, good luck on your project.

We used original trunnions and reversed engineered them for the most part.

that’s fantastic, did you find original prints or make your own off of an existing part?
