Yes I know, but it still is sad for this hobby
I recently bought one of Dingo's birch stocks. Very nice! I did a short writeup about it here in posts 85 and 86 if anyone is interested:

SSD's PTR44 / BD44 In Detail The Semi Automatic MP44
I recently picked up an interesting late war magazine for this rifle of an oddball design you don't see much information about so I figured we might as well take a look at it. The vast majority of MP44 magazine bodies are similar in construction to an MP5 jobber in that they are two halves...

Will you be getting kits of improved MP38 internals to retrofit the old Dittrich closed bolt MP38 semis? Also firing pins?

Hi. I will probably get it later, but the old ones need a small change on the receiver to accept the new semi system. D

Hey Trenches, I have had some health setbacks lately. Been keeping a pretty low profile. Saw your work though and it looks great!
I've been working on the bolt. What a project. Found out some things that aren't apparent. Like the rear of the bolt has to be a smaller diameter than the front. Otherwise you have cylinder in a cylinder. So the bolt won't come down to lock up. Once I discovered that now the bolt drops but I had to also redo the ejector groove. And some other things that I will post on my thread.
There isn't any information out there on how to make a MP-44 bolt. I'm flying by the seat of my pants here.
But now the bolt is semi head spaced. Needs a little remedial work done to it yet.
But now the bolt and carrier installed it runs freely in the receiver with the return spring and butt stock attached and semi locks up. Even feeds dummies from the mag.
Hope your health gets back to normal. Being under the weather sucks.
BTW, I did measure the AL bolt I made using your bolt. Don't know why I didn't do that before. And the drawing doesn't indicate the smaller rear diameter. At least not what I can see. Finding other discrepancies also.

Probably way too late on this but if there is any chance of getting on a waiting list for a mp44 parts kit, please reach out.

If I remember correctly, you can't get them anymore in the US because of the ATF regulation changes.
