Have you considered doing a Valmet adapter? Obviously there are fewer Valmets floating around than Galils, but I could imagine a lot of demand based on the expense and scarcity of Valmet mags, particularly relative to Galil mags. The feed angle is different which I suppose might make an...

Also just ordered. When something like this comes along there's no saying no.

With my setup, that front ring clamps on the barrel nut and the rear ring clamps on the receiver -- and then the rings are joined to each other with the red dot plate on top and the picatinny rail at the bottom. So with that, the barrel nut is fixed to the receiver and (hopefully) doesn't...

Over the last few weeks I've cobbled together a red dot, pistol grip, and picatinny stock solution for my STEN Mk. II. At the front I took a couple of 1.5" shaft collars from Amazon and machined a slot to accept a steel picatinny rail section at the bottom for a VFG, and a pocket for a...

Thanks for posting the scores. One two-day match a year is great, two of them would be awesome!

I have a M1917, the water-cooled progenitor of the 1919 (as you likely already know). I also have an M16A1 with a Fightlite upper and an HK sear with a couple HK21 builds I'm still working on. The M1917 is great, but it's a gun I shoot maybe once or twice a year -- and I have my own range...

I was inspired by a post in General Talk to finish (i.e., start) the Thompson red dot adapter I've been long planning to make. Gratuitous photographs follow below. As a disclaimer, I made this with a manual mill and lathe. I only just barely know what I'm doing in my hobby machine shop, so...

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...
