"The MP38, 40, 40/1 and MP41 Submachine Gun" by Special Interest Publicaties BV has some interesting stuff about the MP38, including experimental models like the EMP36 -which was the intermediate model between the EMP and the MP38 - and some stuff on the MP38(L) in addition to the usual stuff you see about the other SMG's mentioned in the title.

I found this fantastic e-book

http://www.hlebooks.com/ebook/mp40load.htm

Includes some very nice details of both MP38 and MP40, differencies between models, breakdown of parts, how to strip, details of waffenamts and other markings, timed versions of the weaopon and magazines, magazines markings etc. All nicely illustrated with photos, sketches, diagrams. Includes short descriptions of other models.

Recommended. And its not very expensive - just 8 USD.

My new mp38 replica. Model gun built exactly to original one. Dry-fires, all 'external' parts fully operational. Sizing, weight and 'feeling' like original one. Original bakelite covers for both handle and 'body' of the gun. Markings of 1939 applied.

Pls note - its not a gun to Polish or any other law standards. No 'gun' features - cannot shoot ammo, either live or blank.

Well, theres one guy over here making museum quality replicas.

He also made this replica of Suomi mp:

He also makes g43 karabiners and some mauser rifle models (my friend had his gew.33/40 mountain one made by him).

Expect those to be really expensive though...

Yes - this is a replica - its not a gun to Polish or any other law standards. No 'gun' features - cannot shoot ammo, either live or blank and cannot be converted to fire anything ;P
