German-made 'semi-automatic only' MP38

Originally developed to fulfill German military requirements for a compact submachine gun, the MP-38 design - with its bakelite body, milled tube receiver, and metal folding stock - proved so revolutionary it is widely considered the first 2nd generation SMG (1st generation submachine guns such as the Thompson used mainly machined components and wood furniture). Another important innovation was the MP-38's telescoping bolt, which further reduced the overall length of its receiver and reduced its rate of fire to a more manageable level, which made the gun more controllable.

Our BD-38 is a highly detailed fully functional 'semi-automatic only' recreation of the famous MP-38 submachine gun. As the BD-38 is newly manufactured and is not capable of full-auto fire this short-barrelled carbine is a 'restricted' firearm any Canadian who can legally acquire a handgun may own. The MP-38's design, function, and appearance has otherwise been faithfully reproduced as closely as possible and with unprecedented attention to detail by European craftsmen. The bakelite frame and pistol grip are newly manufactured by the same firm who supplied the German military during the war. Even authentic-looking 'waffenamts' have been recreated on many of its parts!

Collectors, military history enthusiasts and 'living history' re-enactors are urged to take advantage of this unique opportunity to acquire these German made, 'waffen' marked guns: supplies are extremely limited as the BD-38 are individually made in extremely small quantities. As with SSD's BD-44 and BD-3008, extensive research and engineering has been invested into recreating these famous firearms even to the point of stamping them with authentic-looking 'waffenamts'! Everything except the 'semi-automatic only' fire control system (please note the BD-38 will not accept original trigger group components) - including the machined mag well and under folding stock - is meticulously reproduced to resemble the unobtainable originals.
