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.

Check these guys out . I used to have a 1911 they did. https://fordsguns.com/

Anyone know what the current going rate for a lanchester magazine is ?

Ive only had 1 FFL try to screw me on a MG. I bought it private party and asked the seller if he would drop it off at his SOT friends place because it had an issue and it needed a repair. He dropped it off and the repair was small , I expected it to be back with the seller within a week or two. Well 10 months passed and the seller lets me know its approved but the SOT had not returned the gun. I called the sot several times and eventually just showed up at his store front that he shared with a non FFL non SOT. The SOT had told me the repair was done but he was out sick , I walked into the back and my gun was sitting on the counter unsecured with no repair done. I took it and a few weeks later he ended up getting shut down by the ATF. Luckily it was just a close call and Im not sure if he was just stupid , lazy or a cheat. I didnt know the guy , that was my mistake. Ill only ever use people I know from now on. Luckily once you get into machine guns you tend to meet other people that are into them and there are usually a few go to dealers that are always upstanding and local to you, I use a guy now that has his SOT and runs his business from his garage. Whats funny is he actually has a whole store in his garage and there are always people coming and going.

Can someone get me the measurements for the placement of the MK5 sear pocket from the rear of the receiver and the MK5 safety notch. Im converting a MK2 to a Mk6 so I already have the MK2 sear hole / MK2 safety notch cut but need to know how far to move them forward

Ill have to order a set of those springs. My fix works for me but it sure is janky.

That is cool , Ive wanted one ever since I saw the forgotten weapons episode on them.

Man I really like that , a type 11 is definitely on my list to get , I just got my type 96 this week and am already looking , I wish I had more cash to spend.

Type 99 mags seem to go for 1000-1600 depending on condition , every once in a while they might go for more. Type 96 mags go for even more

I’d just be happy it reliably feed and ejects lol

That is the plan , but for now at least it is functional. I’ll have to try a few stocks and see what works, loop stocks are 65 bucks and up now so I don’t want to just order a bunch and be stuck with them.

Here is the fix

So , know there is at least 1 other person having this issue. I had the day off today and decided to tinker with it. The button on the return housing was super easy to push in and my stock was a little loose. I took a piece of paper and folded it to the thickness of the a lot that accepts the stock and removed layer by layer until the stock would just barely snap into place. The stock still is loose on the bottom but has no vertical play anymore. Now the button is just a little sticky when pressing it in. Ill have to measure the round portion on a few Sten stocks to find one with a larger diameter. Ill add photos below

I have a York MK2 sten gun. It feeds and ejects great but after the last round the stock will pop off. When dry firing the return spring housing jumps forward when the bolt hits the trunnion allowing the stock to come off if there is any downward pressure being applied to the stock. Ive tried replacing the recoil spring with 2 others and also swapped recoil spring housings with one from a known good Sten MK5. Ive also tried replacing the bolt with a steel bolt instead of the brass one. Nothing seems to be binding, Im at a loss as far as what is going on.

I dont know how to do pics , the mag looks great .if you want send me a message with your number and i can text them . Im not great with this technology thing .
