7.62x25

[chili17]

if you have a STEn converted M11/9 it is a turn key operation. Unscrew the barrel and screw in the .30 tok barrel, insert a mag and shoot.

Most time consuming but easiest way I have found to convert the STEn mags is as follows.

Mill out the spot welds on the re enforeced area around the mag lips (where the magstops are)

Pull the re enforeced area off.

Mill the rib out from the feed lips down to the last ammo witness mark

Debur the inside and make sure ALL the rib is gone

Put the re enforecment shell back on the mag, tack or spot weld back in place

Load

Shoot

This thing really is a hoot and for $85 a K to shoot its tough to beat.

And is exactly why I'm trying to get Mr. Lage to make an M31 upper that will use Ppsh41 drums for the SWD M10/9 :nocomment

cheap ammo, cheap drums, powerful subgun round. How much more awesome could it get?

Is the rib cut out and a new backplate welded on? The 1 mag I have has the rib stamped into the whole piece. Not sure how one would machine it out... maybe some have a solid rib that can be removed?

This is a really cool project. To get the best of both worlds it seems like you could dedicate a TASK upper to 7.62 and keep the MAX upper stock (or vise versa). Between that and a 22 kit (does the Lage 22 kit work with a STEn magwell?), you'd have 3 completely different guns.

The LAGE 22 kit does not work with a sten conv because you need a diffrent mag apt for it.

Tried the TASK conversion in 7.62x25 today. Ran like a top. Easy to pull singles and hits with authority! Going to shoot a case of ammo out of the TASK and Lage slowfire uppers and if all goes well we will start producing the conversion barrels for sale.

any chance you will be making non threaded barrels?

chili..........sent you a PM.

muzzel threads will be an option, standard barrels will not have muzzel threads

Can we fit that round in a OEM grip?

if you are happy with a single shot:boohoo

Just not enough room

Someone needs to make an adapter to allow the use of the RO mags in a STEn magwell. That way we can use a 9mm upper w/out having to buy all new mags.

just wrap them in duct tape until they are snug!

Yes it does. Mr Lage has .22 mags for the Sten converted M11. They are the same mags used in the none Sten converted M11 with an adapter Super Glued to the back. I can post pic's of mine later if anyone want to see.

Won't the 7.62 x 25 round beat the piss out of the receiver? Is the Lage Max11 bolt heavy enough to soften the blowback?

...came to the conclusion that as a general rule it is just to hot for a standard upper. Saftey would vibrate on, sear would jump the trigger and catch the bolt and it would rattle my teeth. Buffer only lasted 200rds also. Max11 slow fire and/or TASK will be the only way to go.

Trying the Lage conversion this Saturday. The Lage bolt weight, weighs 20.5oz. Shooting my TASK conversion with a 12.5oz bolt weight more than handles the extra power of the 7.62x25 round. I DO NOT RECOMMEND SHOOTING THE 7.62x25 OUT OF A STOCK M11/9 it is your firearm however so do what you want. The recoil was very pleasurable with a ROF around 700. Very easy to pull singles. I have zero worries about shooting it out of a MAX11 or a TASK conversion with a heavy buffer.

Why do you have to make my envy a sten converted m11/9?:nana

Now it has been a while but I was told no conversion for the sten guns. Glad to see they have them. I got the PS kit and the have an adapter made to fit the sten mag well and then I can use HK 270 mags. Each mag needs to have an adaptor super glued to it?

 

[medphys]

It looks like a simple plate welded to the back of the RO magazines would do the trick. You could probably make a plastic one for the Max22 magazines too.

The pic is a little dark but I think you can see it well enough. When I got my kit the adapters were already glued on. I had some trouble with it feeding and ended up sending the kit, all mags, and two uppers to Richard for adjustment. He adjusted both uppers and sent me 4 new mags and the adapters so I could glue them on myself for the best fit. I think the original mags were ok. I think it was my uppers out of specs.

I'd get one for the M11/9.

Who is doing quality M11/9 Sten Conversions now that Craig Wheatley doesn't do them anymore? Anybody have any experiene with getting a conversion done recently?

I'm thinking about stepping over to the dark side.
