Yesterday we took a look at the Stemple-Suomi on the bench - today it's time to find how similar it is in handling to the real thing! I have a Danish M41 Suomi, a Stemple-Suomi, and a couple of 71-round drums all ready to go...

The result? The Stemple pattern is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing on the range. If I was blindfolded, I don't think I could tell the difference between the two in terms of recoil, controllability, rate of fire, etc. Fantastic!
