The GSG MP40 Rimfire Carbine brings the iconic profile of the World War II MP40 into an affordable .22 LR platform.

This MP40 Rimfire Carbine operates on a reliable blowback action, pairing modern manufacturing with a nostalgic design. The matte-black zinc-alloy receiver and polymer lower keep weight manageable at roughly 7.25 to 7.85 pounds unloaded, while the carbon-steel barrel delivers a 1:16 twist suited for standard .22 LR loads.
The under-folding steel stock locks solidly when extended and tucks neatly under the receiver for transport. Folded or open, the rifle retains the authentic wire-stock geometry of its wartime predecessor.
Iron sights stick to the original layout: a hoodless blade front sight and a flip-notch rear, offering a familiar sight picture for anyone versed in historical submachine guns. The faux suppressor shroud preserves the classic MP40 barrel profile without affecting function.
CIP proof marks (DE CIP N ☐CB) and Blue Line Solutions import stamps verify origin and compliance. With its faithful exterior, modern internals, and economical rimfire chambering, this GSG MP40 is an attention-grabbing range piece as well as a collectible tribute.
