madkiwi Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 In the next few months I will be getting my tax stamp for an in-the-white Charles Erb MP40 receiver that I purchased in March. Well, hopefully in the next 3-5 months... I am looking for recommendations on SOT manufacturers to do my build and bluing for this gun. Hopefully will have my parts all sorted out soon. I already contacted Bob at Black River and he's thinking he's got too much work at the moment. I will keep pestering him, but I may need a plan B. I also have a Sten Mk2 tube and parts kit that likewise need to be put together. If someone you know does Stens and MP40's please pass on your recommendations for that too. Thanks, Madkiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddemon02 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Good things come to those who wait, I am sure someone is out there, but if it were me I would wait and get on the list for Black River. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFA amnesty Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Madkiwi, I just posted this on another thread but thought I would share since it is related to your topic. Believe John specializes on WW2 period weapons. I had John Andrewski work on my tube MP40 and he did an excellent job at a fair price in my opinion. My tube gun did not have a bolt safety notch and mag well was loose/wobble with pin falling out. He also worked on the bolt knob to correct push/pull issues. I told him to go through the weapon and fix anything suspect. He was very honest and did not try to up-sale me on any unnecessary repairs. The stocks usually always have a wobble and mine has a slight one. If your stock has excessive wobble, he can fix it. He can also do a new finish on your MP40 which will be period correct. TSMGguy is correct, the sling mount was placed on the right side from the factory but some German Soldiers would change it to the left while in the field. You can decide which side you like the best, but think the right side is the best for a right handed shooter. I have owned two tube guns, a Wilson and currently an Erp, and one of my favorite subguns to shoot. Have fun with yours and sounds like you did an awesome job with purchase price and fixing it up. Take care, Mac Edited by NFA amnesty, Today, 07:50 PM. Edited July 11, 2018 by NFA amnesty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
