My guess is that SAC may stand for Sacramento Arms Company and was imported into the country at some point prior to GCA of 1968. That's the best guess. I've also discovered from another person the following: The sling attachment is from the Haenel factory and the middle section of the recoil system is not a Steyr part. WIth the exception of those little details, it is excellent.

Posted 28 Sep 2020 Yes it is a beautiful weapon, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't every factory original MP40 have the front sling loop on the right side? I believe it was done this way to keep the bolt handle free and easy to grab. If I am wrong, can someone please post an original WWII picture showing the front sling loop on the left side.

It's ambidextrous. For a right hand shooter, it should be as pictured in my pictures. Left hand, the other way. This is not a historical factual assessment just my guess.

Posted 29 Sep 2020 If you have the sling on the ejection port side and the sling around your neck, empty cases will bounce back into the receiver jamming the gun. for me, about one per mag. I moved the sling to the other side and no more problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
