Sturmgewehr 44 Buttstock Accessories

  

Finding an MP44 is one thing, but finding the accessories is another.

This article will show some of the MP44 buttstock accessories. 

 

Below, the instruction manual is shown. This manual was often called "Kolbenfachheft"

This example is the MP44 version, but there is also a Sturmgewehr 44 version which is
identical. The only thing is that the word MP44 is replaced by Sturmgewehr.

Its dimenions are 10 x 7 cm and it was rolled up and kept in the buttstock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Below, the dissasembly or takedown tool is shown. 

This tool is called Lösedorn and is used to remove the handguard, and for removing the gas cylinder end cap

As shown here, the tool was used to  remove the handguard.

 

Below a picture of the handgueard removed.

Barrel and gas tube are now clearly visible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the left is shown how the tool is used for
removing the gas cylinder end cap,

 

 

 

 

Here the removed end cap is shown.

 

 

 

Another accessory is the brush to clean the gas cylinder.

Unfortunately I have not been able to find one for my collection yet, so if anyone has one for spare.....

I've not been able to find any pictures either, so I would be most gratefull for any contribution.
