Yes,...it was.

Safari Arms did something like this back in the 80's for the 1911. They called it the "Survivor" carbine kit. It was an unregulated upper that bolted on in place of the slide and barrel assembly. It was a manual straight-pull that fed from the magazine. The T-handle bolt would be pushed through...

There's plenty of loaded RN subsonic stuff out there. PMC and AAC (PSA) both make RN 147 ammo. Back when Action Arms imported Israeli 158grn. FMJ ammo, it was RN. Famously, it had a black-painted tip to be able to visually differentiate it from standard ball ammo. And I think this is a clue. I...

Yes,...this is essentially what I was trying to communicate, but Dink did so much better.

In my opinion (which could easily be wrong), as long as the extractor spring is sufficiently strong to keep the spent case firmly in place on the bolt face as the bolt races rearward, the existing ejector should work just as well as originally. If, however, the case is sort of wobbly unsecure as...

Back when these were being imported as kits, all the parts were matching and this was before Obama demanded the barrels be cut up as "not sporting use", so the barrels were original as well. I got my kit for just $100 from J&G Sales in Prescott, Az. in 2003. So you know the kits cost Century a...

So I knew I couldn't possibly be the first guy to think of using single-feed Glock mags in STENs, and that SOMEBODY must have played around with the idea already. So I did a little bit of Google sleuthing on the interwebs and came up with a CAD file some dude worked up back in 2019 for a 3D...

I made a very simple covert carry case for the truck gun so that I could take the Chinese AKM back and forth to the vehicle without anyone realizing a gun was being transported. The original handle was made of the same plastic as the Contico tool box, so if you look closely, you can see it...

I signed up for the same, but mine arrives tomorrow or Friday. I'm expecting it to be similarly excellent.

Not with my Uzi, but I have a Ppsh41 currently fit with a 9mm conversion barrel that has a bad ejector that has occasionally done exactly the same thing. For the life of me, I can't figure out what little open space the case manages to find to get back there, but it does. In slow motion footage...

Rumor has it that the Dutch, Lithuanians and Belgium each took all their mothballed Uzis and donated them to Ukraine, where they have primarily ended up with vehicle crews, ambulance drivers and rear echelon security types. But this guy appears to be somewhere near the front.

OK,...you have my attention. If I supply barrel and nut, what can I expect to pay?

I agree,...but,...for the STEN to feed from a double-column mag like an Uzi mag, the STEN bolt itself would need to be milled on and have dimensions changed in order to clear the mag and still scoop a round out of the top. And that would lighten the bolt and increase the cyclic rate and cause...

I also think that the rearward rake of the Glock mag conversion would give a better balance to the whole thing vs. how it currently wobbles with all that weight hanging out to the left. The Glock mags not only weigh less, but by angling rearwards, the last round in the mag at the bottom wouldn't...

If there were an enterprising talented welder who had access to a supply of STEN magazine housings, he could fabricate for sale a housing modified for using some other available magazine style. I'm reminded of the Chinese 7.62x25 Tok STEN parts kits that came into the country in the 90s. Those...

I ordered one of these 2 months ago to use with my Form 1 suppressor I made from one of the Chinese imported solvent trap kits. This was originally intended for use on my CMMG Banshee pistol. When I drilled out the baffles last year, I was paranoid about baffle strikes, so I made them...

Any update on this?

Yep, like others here, always try to load for what I got. Especially the weirder and more difficult to find loaded ammo for, like 8mm Hungarian (8x56R). You can't just go down to Walmart and pick up some .32-20 or .38-45Clark. And now that all the surplus .303 and 8mm Mauser are essentially...
