trigger pull is a little stiff but its ok the fit and finnish on all parts is great i broke a fireing pin the other day called tnw and they said no problem
its under warranty also that they have replaced about 12 fireing pins so far seems the first ones were too brittle they said that the new ones are much
stronger i asked about any other problems they have had they said that was it im sure you will be happy with the weapon very to take down and clean

Took my new PPsh-41 to the range and fired two shots and the transfer bar broke. Called TNW and they do not have any in stock? Also the stock has a crack in
the forearm. On the warranty paper I recieved with the gun it says there might be cracks in the stock they will not replace stock due to lack of parts. I
bought a 800.00 headache. Would not recommed any one to buy this gun. I am now waiting for TNW to get more transfer bars . If gun turns out to be trouble free
I'll look for a new stock.

Check out my final generation PPSh-41 made by WLA on You Tube under my handle Mike85220. Fit, finish and wood are gorgeous. After all the mags were fitted, it never jams. It has shot every type of ammo I put into it with no problems ever. It is also amazingly accurate. I even did a video of shooting a 2"x2" steel plate at 300 yards and it hits most of the time. Probably all of the time if I could hear every "ding" over the other shooter's noise. I never saw any puffs of sand left, right, up or down to the steel plate when shooting at it. As a test, I did purposely fire a round a bit high, and it did puff the sand above the plate. It shoots low right now, and the first few visits to the range, I did not care. I went to function test the first time, check for accuracy and see what ammo it works with. I also labeled the mags that had problems. The above target was done standing at 20 yards. The upper middle target was rapid fire. The weight of this carbine resets point of aim very fast, and pulling the trigger as fast as I could, it did not pull off target. It was like rapid firing a 10/22. The second time out, I fixed all the 35 round packet mags and rectified which drums need held/ pushed upwards while firing to work 100%. Only one works 100% without help. The gun itself is 100% reliable, but as everyone know, the drums are finicky. Again, the 35 round packet mags all run 100% now. The drums will too, but as I said, some need a little help staying flush as they are heavy. This will be fixed the next time out, via needle nose pliers. If I mod it to let the angle of the rounds have the tips higher, it wont matter if I hold the drum or just the shroud. Remember, we are talking very minute adjustments to the seating height of the bullet. What else is very nice is that the trigger pull has the let off of an AR-15. The overtravel is of an AK, and it feels like a 3.5lb trigger. The overtravel is easy to fix via a small wedge on the inside of the gun to prevent the trigger rising back as far as it is doing. It feels like I have a national match AR-15 trigger with the overtravel of an AK-47. The let off is crisp, short, no grit, just smooth. Love it! If you watch the video of me rapid firing, please note that although it is pretty quick, it can be a lot faster if I add the block in the receiver to prevent the overtravel in the trigger. That long pull wastes time to letting the next one fly. This one has all the bugs of all older variants worked out and is the final production model. Unfortunately WLA stopped making these. TNW is a very reputable company, but they too with their version are going to find many flaws and need to go through several revisions. I can't imagine anyone exceeding the WLA model, perhaps equaling. Yes, I know, a lot of the older WLA PPSh-41s did have issues but as I have said they are all fixed.

Mike,
Thanks for your pictures you are very lucky to get a nice one and one that works. I purchased a TNW from MGS back in June it had a nice stock, fit, and finish but trigger pull was very bad, words can't descibe it, very hard to pull trigger and it jammed every other shot no matter what type of drum or mag you used. Sent it back to TNW and it came back the same way, then sent it to MGS, both shipments at my expense, MGS had none to replace it with until about 2 weeks ago, and they sent me the one I have now, fired two shots and transfer bar broke, trigger is better on this one but has a cracked stock, won't know how it will preform till I get the trasfer bar, this will probably be another headache gun, time will tell. months have gone by and I still don't have a working gun. Diva Arsenal bought Allied Armament PPSH-41 design and I know that is a very good reliable gun was thinking about getting one of those.
