Overview:
The Marushin MP40 stands out as an extraordinary replica of the iconic MP40 from World War II. It's not just any replica; it's widely considered one of the most authentic versions available. Marushin didn't hold back on the details: the open bolt firing system, precise roll marks, and the intricate telescoping recoil spring are just a few examples. It's like they brought a piece of history to life.
Quality:
On the flip side, time hasn't been kind to this beauty. Imagine a vintage car that's perfect in design but has aged rubber parts - that's the Marushin MP40. After 23 years, the plastic has, unfortunately, absorbed moisture and expanded, similar to how a sponge soaks up water. This results in some issues, like a snug fit for the magazine and a creaking sound that might make you second guess its durability. However, don't let these noises fool you; this replica is robust and reliable. Beyond these quirks, the MP40 still shines with accurate trademarks, roll marks, and a spot-on replication of the original's size and weight. It features a polymer receiver, grips, and barrel, while the internal parts, trigger, stock, underbarrel bracket, sights, and magazine boast durable zinc construction.
Internals:
Diving into the internals, the Marushin MP40 mimics the real deal impressively. It sports a telescoping recoil spring assembly and an open bolt firing system. There's a neat touch with the functional charging handle safety - you can engage it by simply pushing and pulling the handle. The bolt and spring assembly are made of a sturdy polymer that's proven its reliability over time. And for those who appreciate the finer details, the sear and trigger bar are full metal, enhancing the overall authenticity of this remarkable replica.
