I've been looking for close to a year now for the right MP44. I was wondering if anyone here has come across any recently for sale. A few nice rifles have come up but someone always beats me to them!

A wise decision IMHO... I would not have paid anywhere near that for a MP40 that had a hole drilled through the receiver. Even without the hole I don't think it is worth that. Nice, matching MP40's can be had in the $13-15k range if you take you time. Any MP40 priced over $16k is over priced in my opinion.

Even at $17,500 this is priced very high. I wouldn't feel comfortable spending more than $13K on this MP40 considering the condition (if the pouches are absolutely original maybe $14K. I'm not an expert on pouches but you need to be careful on these... many great fakes out there). The "dent" is normal. Some of the manufactures used this method to stake the trunion in place. The hole in the receiver and the re-crowned barrel are major detractors. Personally I would not want a gun with these flaws. These guns are not rare and I would pass on this one if I were you...

I'm keeping an eye on Julia as well, but ideally I would like to avoid the auction houses and buy from another collector.

Well thanks for the heads up. But yeah... that one isn't just kind of pricey, it's certifiably insane. He's asking $28,000 for a poorly refinished gun. It's a $14K gun at best.

The rock island guns are very cool but sadly a little too rich for my blood. I'm still on the search for a really nice MP44. I'd like to find a private seller if possible.

I tried Dennis, unfortunately none in his inventory...

I am on the search for an excellent condition MP44 and was wondering if anyone knows any dealers that are worth looking into or if anyone else knows of any for sale. Where is the best place to find these?
