Never mind, found what I need.

Hey all, I have a predicament. I am currently building a semi auto conversion Sten MKII using the Indianapolis Ordnance kit and tube. Unfortunately, upon returning to the shop to continue work, the instructions that came with it are gone. Nowhere to be found. Does anyone have a PDF copy they can email or even a photo as long as it's legible. I've sent an email to IO but today (Saturday Sept. 16) is the only day I will have for quite some time to dedicate to the project and I'd REALLY like to get my hands on them today. ANY help would be deeply and greatfully appreciated! Cheers- Nick

Thank you for the clarification. I will leave the compensator that is on the barrel alone and get a correct one for the new barrel. Thanks again!

So this may be a stupid question also but if it is a Khar gun, would that be indicated on gun? My gun is the parkerized "Commando" version that had the black furniture on it. It says Auto Ordinace Worcester Mass. The sight blade is part of the compensator, no ring sight. So this is threaded? I am going through the paperwork to get my 10.5 inch barrel and would like to reuse my own compensator. If I don't have to buy another one that would be great. I've just heard both ways and want to make sure I don't screw it up trying to get it off of the gun.

Hey all I'm new to Thompsons and without going into great detail I just have a quick question. How can I tell if my compensator is press fit or threaded on?

This is more simple than is being made. If there are no markings, it is not a trench gun. I hear this story all the time. People look at things like this and try to justify it in any way. I'm not saying that's what's happening here from the buyer, but the sellers are usually the worst perpetrators of this. When a gun was brought into service, off the shelf of a store or from the factory, they were marked. I've seen countless cobbled together guns and heard every story you can imagine. I'm glad he came here to ask the questions. Nothing worse than dropping that kind of money finding out you got duped.
