peter kohler Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 way cool! I have a good friend who wrote three books about the brit / aussie , equipment , uniforms , weapons used during ww2. I just looked up the austen smg and there is a picture of them fitted with silencers in borneo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy artillery Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Very nice; congrats on the acquisition. I always liked the adoption of the telescoping tube. Hope you got an original loader; they are the best. Do you keep the front grip panels off to keep them from breaking?

johnsonlmg41 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 They are cool! There is one here in pieces.....gotta get on that. Now you have to find some magazines for it. They tend to be fairly scarce. I could use another one or two for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homealone1 Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I wish I had one of those , I have a magwell/front grip and am holding out on finding the back end so I can build one from a transferable Sten tube. I might never find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
