Look at your eforms online inventory in the last column on the right "restrictions" it will have a notation there if a dealer sample Also the highlighted color of the entry line will be white, preMays orange, postMay red, HOWVER I was told that this was not absolute. Out of 7 PreMays 5 of mine are no longer marked restricted, and 1 POST May!

Update I modified the channel on the pin so it protrudes out the back a little further, the gun ran fine today. No more light primer hits.

I wrote that article in 2018, still working fine, there is not much gassing, nothing like suppressed 5.56, no battering to speak of.

Hard to control? Not really

That is correct, but what happened was trigger frames got mismatched with the receivers, and while secured in the rack, the wrong serial numbers were recorded. So around 1943-44 or so they were ordered to stop numbering M1-M1A1 trigger frames, there is more detailed info in American Thunder 3. That is a pretty low serial number, the lowest I had ever seen recorded was by Roger Cox, as I (vaguely) recall was #153

Magazine Repair Tools
Frank Iannamico replied to StrangeRanger's topic in Sten, Sterling, and Lanchester SMG Message Boards
There are/were Sten aftermarket magazines sold by KeepShooting.com, I believe they were made in Taiwan and they work VERY, VERY well, well-made and the feed lips do not distort when fully loaded. I suppose the magazines did not sell well because of the abundance of original magazines. I have seven of them, I wish I had bought more. I have a friend who has been looking for them for years, with no luck. They have a shiny black finish. Link to the aftermarket Sten magazine article http://archive.smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=3018 Link to magazine tool article https://smallarmsreview.com/sten-magazines-a-love-hate-relationship/ If the links don't work just go to the Small Arms Review website and search Sten, its now free -
Has anyone successfully modified a Keystone titanium firing pin into an inertia pin? I often get several light-firing pin hits that won't fire the round. My thoughts are that the titanium pins are too light in weight to function as an inertia firing pin? http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/ind...?showtopic=8854

Lee Marvin, "as cool as this looks....."
Frank Iannamico replied to Mike Hammer's topic in The U.S. M3-M3A1 Message Board
Those pictures are a mere fraction of Babty's inventory, there are a lot more guns than in the photos, and they also had helmets, uniforms, military radios, swords rubber prop-guns, Knights armor, etc. We also visited a restored WWII airfield in the north of England, it was closed, but Dan got us in, one of the aircraft was a C-47 used in HBOs Band of Brothers Series. At the time we were at Babty the place was being remodeled there were workers and painters there, so everything upstairs was in disarray. -

I went to England with Dan Shea, who knows everyone there. On that trip in 2012, several people went along, Dan, Phil Dater, Dolf, and Robert Segel. It was a two-week trip, Dan was able to get us in the National Firearms Collection (former Pattern room) The British Small Arms School gun room, Warminster, another Army facility in Shrivenham (I don't recall the name) Babty, A section 5 dealers Greg Felton, and Dave Thomas' and the War and Peace show, on the weekend we went to the War Museum in London. It was great all I had to do was show up in the hotel lobby in the morning and get in the van. The attached images are all from Babty
