Thanks for watching 😀😀, plug fire 🤔, I've seen videos of them on UA-cam and I think you have to be part of a re enactment group as a defence tk buy one. But I don't know of anyone who has one...aren't they temperamental?
@@Irishshootingchannel yes I am , I'm in a group....I honestly havnt come across the plug fire guns advertised on the likes of 'gunstar'. To be honest replicas and deacs suit my needs I reckon 🙂
The feline sneak attack was funny to watch, slowly creeping up behind you. 😺As for the repro, it is what it is, a wall hanger. It's like buying a Lada and expecting Porsche performance and Mercedes quality! ! 😪Can't you remove the barrel and fill the gap with a thin washer, or just glue it down if it bothers you. There is a risk, however, that you may accidentally damage or strip the screw. Arundel Arms has a Stg 44 for £7000 currently and recently sold a MP40 for about £3000. Look forwards to seeing this Denix once you've aged it - great job on the Stg - almost looks like genuine gun metal.
Cheers Al, yeh that's a good way of thinking about it regarding quality...I will sort it and I do think I've done a good job on the STG44, so thanks for that as I couldn't afford the deac prices. Regarding feline attacks...you know the score yourself...cats will not be contained...they want to be where you are...and if that means using a person as a stepping stone or a climbing frame...well thats that...I don't mind , good fun 🤣🤣
@@steelhelmetstan7305 Yeah, there were several birds in my garden whose last cheep was "Fuck!!" as my cat pounced on them from behind! 😸There is a nice (little, thankfully) scar on my nose where my cat whacked me across the face once. 😀
Nice video as always. I have one and I have the same issues. Except on mine the barrel is fallen off. Think I will glue it with epoxy and maybe put a screw through the frame and barrel.
Cheers Mr Rune....I took it apart and glued it with strong glue....but be careful when doing this as the sling swivel can be put on the wrong side....thats what I did , I only noticed after the glue set. In the end I decided against trying yo get it apart again and I just left the sling off....I'm not totally happy about but it's done now and I used the sling on a denix stg44 I have 🙂🙂🙂
Thank you very much....in my opinion denix are a great and cheap way of getting a ww2 prop for display, just don't play around with them too much and they need a bit of work 🙂
Ha ha ! ..the cat invaders are restlessly chewing ~!😁 The carbine looks awesome Stan bro ! ..😂😂sudden claw strike !! 😂😂 I hope you can fix the problems.. I've screwed a load of loose old boilers in my time.. most enjoyable It's all good ~!! What about a washer bro ? ..tight fit .. wasn't that a band ??!! Have an awesome weekend mate !!
For the metal I use scouring pad, or wire wool. For wood I sand it back...wood stain, boot polish, oil, or bit of black paint....then beat the wood up a bit. I just try mixture of all of the above...just do it in small stages and it will turn out fine 🙂
@@ChrisfurrsMilitaria1941 forgot to say when the woodwork is dry rub a bit of boiled linseed oil into the wood....but chuck the rag you use away as boiled linseed oil soaked rags can under certain circumstances ignite!!!....I had a box of them for about two years in the loft until I found out that bit of info!!🤣🤣
Denix are really sloppy on quality control, your STG44 looks great weathered, chris is weathering his M1 rifle and noticed his barrel has slight play on it not as bad as yours.
Yeh I get you...yeh Chris said he was going to have a go on it. I reckon the denix are OK for a foundation of something, as in you have to do the extra....certainly when it comes to the expensive stuff...I could never afford a real STG 44, and probably I wouldn't get one even if I had the money...bit like m38 german para helmets...they are far too expensive, even if you could afford one , it would have to be kept in a sealed environment...just in case someone breathed on it!!!....and I've got cats...who like chewing stuff 🤔🤔🤣
Hello nice video again. The rules in uk regarding replicas are absolutely absurd. Here in Sweden anyone can buy a replica I don't even think there is a age rule like on airsoft where you have to be 18 bur that's it... Great video 👍
Cheers yeh the laws in the UK for air guns, deactivated weapons, replicas, airsoft, obsolete calibre etc is strange to say the least....but typically british...muddled, thanks again 🙂🙂
Yeh denix is hit and miss...the mp41 is average, I've got the mp44 from denix and its OK simply because the alternative is a deac and I can't afford that, but the denix version is just about acceptable. I do also have the denix ppsh41 and with a period sling and a real magazine which does fit, looks great....I aged it and stained the wood, good for display, cheers m8🙂🙂
Nice display piece,its good that denix have put the front sling attachment on the correct side,unlike their mp40.
Ah cheers CJ...I didn't notice that...just got to do something with the loose barrel 🤔🤔
Nice video Stan. Are there many collecting plug fire model gun MP40's over there

Nice replica shame about the loose parts. What do you do to age the wood and metal on your weapons as im thinking of doing the sme to my M1 rifle.
Very cool replica! Don’t see mp41s very often. Hopefully you can fix the issue with the loose barrel. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers yeh I'm looking at glue solutions at the minute 1🙂🙂🙂

Thanks for the info my friend. Take care and have a nice weekend😃 @@steelhelmetstan7305
Unexpected cat attack
Ha ha 🤣🤣, yes it was definitely unexpected, ouchhh!🤣🤣
Very nice nice replica unfortunate to hear it has some loose parts
Yes indeed, I will have to glue them in place 🙂🙂cheers
@@steelhelmetstan7305 at least you can fix it I’ve had a couple replica’s that just fall apart on me good look on any future buys
@@Mrtigertank cheers 👍👍👍
Cat reenacting a Stuka I see...
Yes indeed....or a sneak commando attack ...I'm still in shock 🤣🤣
Hello! Yours videos about Denix replicas are always inwresting.
Thank you very much....in my opinion denix are a great and cheap way of getting a ww2 prop for display, just don't play around with them too much and they need a bit of work 🙂
Ha ha ! ..the cat invaders are restlessly chewing ~!😁
The carbine looks awesome Stan bro !
..😂😂sudden claw strike !! 😂😂
I hope you can fix the problems.. I've screwed a load of loose old boilers in my time.. most enjoyable
It's all good ~!!
What about a washer bro ? ..tight fit .. wasn't that a band ??!!
Have an awesome weekend mate !!
Hi Jim yeh I'm just a giant cat scratching post!🤣🤣🤣. Yeh a washer is a good idea...I will get it sorted, somehow 🙂😀😃

Stuff the gap with baking soda, drip super glue into it. It'll never move again.
I like the sound of that Anvil top idea 🙂🙂
Airfix DAK figure... strike the pose!

I live in Spain and I don't really like denix.
