No problem, and thanks for the tip on these FBP mags. They indeed appear to be of very high quality, particularly when compared to the converted 20 round STEN mags which seem to be all that's readily available nowadays. Based on my testing I have snagged the 9 remaining very good condition FBP...

Yep, that's a KAK barrel with an Angstadt 3 lug adapter.

I thought about this thread a few weeks back and decided to throw a FBP M/948 magazine into my APEX order. I finally got around to trying the magazine in both my side feeders this evening and it seems to be good to go -- no failures at all. The fit in both guns is just a bit more snug than my...

My verdict is in, these things are cool! This is way better than the giant Akro bins I currently keep my magazines in. I did put something in the bottom of the can as suggested (I used sheets of hardboard). Observations: MP5, Uzi, and S&W 76 mags fit great. Sten mags fit the MP5 version no...

I'll post an update here on the Sten and Sterling mags once I get the dividers.

These look pretty cool. I'm going to pick up some for my MP5, Uzi, and SW76 mags. I'll likely get some more if those dividers fit (or you make different dividers for) Sterling and Sten mags.

Thanks! I don't have the Sten in hand yet but I'm looking forward to spending some time with it. I've got one of the shorty barrels for my 76 too. The gun runs great suppressed. I didn't realize the new parts had been up for a few months but it's great they're moving some into production.

I've just bought a Sten Mk2 so I was on KAK's website recently to buy a threaded barrel for it. I checked their S&W section and they're now showing out-of-stock line drawings for a handful of 76 parts that I don't recall them having a few months ago. Charging handle, end cap, guide rod, grip...

I have an unreinforced 1973 PS gun and this thread inspired me to make a brass pin. I don't expect I'll shoot my MAC again until I get my Versa-10 upper, but I'll be ready to scrutinize the pin. Personally I hate the thought of putting a machine gun in the mail. If I didn't already have a...

As long as we're making wish lists, let's have a VERSA-10/10 with MP5/10 and G20 mag wells 🤩

I figure somebody might find this useful. I recently took home a KAC556F. I added a Samson rail and was really bugged by losing the front sight (it's on the gas block cap on the short guns, which the Samson rail replaces). I don't necessarily need BUIS on every gun, but a machine gun with a...

I recently purchased a KAC-556-F (in fact, I submitted the Form 4 with my dealer via Silencer Shop about an hour ago). A few weeks back I dug up an old-ish thread on Sturmgewehr from a gentleman with some full size stainless AC-556 parts kits that came out of a prison system. I emailed him and...

I believe John Andrewski included those mounting bosses/nubs on a number of builds that he did, together with a matching section of picatinny rail -- but they are not a standard in any other sense. I've seen some other threads where folks have indicated that Andrewski doesn't have any of the...

I was waiting for maybe two years and finally received a "back in stock" notification a few months ago and snatched one up. They do show as out of stock again now, but they've definitely made some recently.

I'm going to cheerfully answer a question you didn't necessarily ask (😁) and share that an M16 is a good alternative for both of these. As a FA 10/22 stand in, my CMMG/BoreBuddy .22 conversion is super reliable and probably my favorite configuration for my M16. As an American 180 stand in, my...

Of my open bolt guns, the Uzi's trigger isn't the best (that'd probably be my Sterling) but it's far from the worst (that's definitely my S&W 76). As others have said, an open bolt SMG is never going to have that perfect glass-rod-breaking trigger pull. Have you shot any other Uzis? Do you have...

I have a Holosun 510c on my 9mm M16 upper and Holosun 507c x2s on my Uzi, Sterling, M2 Carbine, S&W 76, and MP5. I'm waiting on a MAC-10 that's at my dealer now and I've already got a Holosun 510c installed on the MAX-10/31K I have waiting for it. Some of them are green reticles and some are...

With any kind of event coordination, you have to ride the line between chaos and rules overload. I didn't find it particularly objectionable, but the night shoot probably erred a bit on the free-wheeling side of things. When I headed out I did a little dance to keep my truck lights off and...

I'll add that the A5 tube and RB5007 buffer is also really excellent for slowing down .223, as well. For other calibers I use a spacer. Yours is still a fair point, though. It does add some fussiness to managing your M16 uppers.
