Sport-Systeme Dittrich MP44

I nearly went crazy and spent loads of money on this :

http://www.gunstar.co.uk/sport-systeme-dittrich-mp44-submachine-guns/Other-Military-Guns/764866

Unfortunately ( or fortunately ... ) it is now sold pending .

Does anyone on here know about these ?

I asked the vendor loads of questions but as it was sold he did not bother answering ...

Apologies if it is a blank firer - ( I am uncertain it is not advertised as such ) certainly it is a none firearm and I found a couple of youtube vids of what appears to be an extremely high end quality MP44 replica all steel etc etc .

I don,t know much about the MP44 but I was taken by its quality and presentation and I know they seem to be very highly rated on here ?

So does anyone know about this model mentioned above - perhaps German members will be familiar ?

Thanks

Carl.

Might not be the same, but I know these are made in Germany as well by a company called something with sport too?

Sadly its in 22 so the magasine is differant and also the cocking handle.

But maybe something still?

Thanks guys

I am pretty sure this is a blank firer now having done a bit of research .

The rounds shown are blanks in boxes but what calibre ?

Never seen or heard of a 7.92 x 33mm Kurz blank round but there is definately an AK blank round . I have a few left over from a vz58 I had some years ago .

In some of the pics you notice the high levels of detail on this - sheer build quality .

Still the price is hard to justify surely ?

You guys who own the Shoei MP44 ?

Would you say it is comparable in quality with this here ?

What kind of materials are used in the Shoei model ?

Which is best firing or the inert one that cycles rounds ?

Got me interested now hehe ............

It's like Cerwyn said: Sport-Systeme Dittrich is a german manufacturer of real-steel guns who specialized in new guns that fire live ammo, but that look like historic ones.
You can find their homepage here

It's not the one you linked there, Sommarkatze, that's a far cheaper model... don't know that replica and the site says nothing about the materials used, but it has very good reviews there. The correct link from Zib-Militaria would be this
(the shop is very recommendable by the way)

Sport-Systeme Dittrich produce everything themselves, even the tools they need to produce the guns are produced by themselves Being produced as real-steels, the guns are of superhigh quality, this of course is reflected in the price range. They have some extremely interesting guns for high-end WW2 reenactors or collectors!

As a german manufacturer they produce semi-auto guns only and you're right, Cerwyn, they also build their live-ammo models as pure decoration guns which do nothing but cycle dummy rounds manually.
The price list for their "modelguns" can be found here. I am pretty sure, that these guns are worth the money, the prices still bring a tiny tear to my eye

I have never had a Dittrich gun in my hands but I own a Shoei MP44 (it's the airsoft version though).
Shoei has achieved a look and feel, that comes extremely close to real steel, but they're handicapped by japanese law: They cannot build their guns with steel receivers.
Don't get me wrong, the metal they use is of highest quality, it's sturdy, has the correct weight and even seems to age similar to the real counterpart.

But if you want to go the whole 9 yards, you'd have to go with the stamped steel receiver of Dittrich's MP44. Oh, but before, you'd have to decide if this is worth the extra charge of over £1.000 for you... or over £2.000 extra charge for an MKb42... or over £5.000 (!!!) extra charge for an FG42
Whole 9 yards always have their price

For me, it'd be Shoei all the way, but everyone has to decide that for him/herself

If you guys want to know more about anything on the Dittrich homepage just let me know, I can translate for you.

Looks like an interesting company.

There was one for sale on this page for a while - https://www.facebook.com/groups/309898519197262/
It is a deactivated SSd replica MP44 -

I have one of the SSd live-firing MP44's it is great - although there have been a lot of complaints about them, see the K98 forum - ours has run great with the reworked mags in blank and live use.
But, it has not shot over 200 rounds yet.

Honestly if you're going to have a replica go with the Shoei - why spend so much more for a really expensive non-firing replica?

I also have two 1945 MP44's - if you're going to shell out, why not find a deactivated original?

Cerwyn knows I really like my Shoei MP44, too -that's the one I can keep in the office, it cycles live ammo, too
