I had a handful of Sten mags to try in my MkIV but none of the 5 or 6 would fit in the magwell so, having a stack of actual Sterling mags, I shuttled the Stens off to friend to use in his SWD M11/9 conversion. With difficult loading and erratic quality control, I can't see it being worthwhile...

I first had a MAC10/45. It was a nice gun and a hoot to shoot. I decked it out with a Lage upper and a Bowers can. It was a pleasant gun to run in that configuration but heavy. By the time I got an optic on it and a loaded mag, I found myself wondering where the rest of the crew was-you...

Used to run them in a JAWs M10/45 with no troubles. Sometimes I thought they required a little more force to lock in but that may have been my gun.

Got all three of the guns under discussion. Uzi is a really cool, nice shooting gun but it is hard to beat the price and utility of a M11/9 with the Lage. I'd hold out for the RRL M-16 though; they are a great platform for tinkering and blasting-I've got mine going in 5.56, 9MM and .22 LR...

Todd440: thanks! I have only seen a few photos of the modified carbines (guessing all done "in theatre") from time to time. I have been told by an old high school buddy who was an RTO with the advisors (back before most of us even knew where Vietnam was...) that the guns were passed along as...

Where are they? Out working second jobs so they can buy ammo! I have an early Inland M1 and have owned and sold a couple of others. I find myself considering an M2 conversion of some sort to build a Vietnam era "advisor gun" on. These had about a 12" barrel and were usually in a M1A1 stock...

No not Durkastan-but I do have a friend who makes firing pins from old screwdrivers with an electric drill and a file. We kid him about his "Paki lathe."

The Sterling is a fun gun and surprisingly accurate within SMG distances. They're just not as famous and well-known as the Uzi, MAC and some others but served the British army for 40 years and were well liked by the troops. At current prices, they're almost a bargain! Try shooting it with...

Got one last fall with extra upper and a few other parts(mags, loaders, etc) for $4100 from Frank's Guns in MO though an auction on Gunbroker. You just have to keep looking and be ready when you find a good deal from a reputable source.

Shot some commercial loaded SWC in a .45 MAC a few years back. Sorry, I don't remember the brand but they did work okay in the gun. You'll just have to give them a try. Try five rounds in the mag for the first couple of times, then you don't have to unload the whole damn mag if they refuse to...

People have been buying guns, home defense and carry guns by the armload: 21 million NICS hits in '13 alone. Realizing that the piece is useless without "boolets", they are buying those too. I see some stuff coming back but the prices? Who knows where that's going. With inflation and demand...

Gordon Ingram was the classic talented sucker. He should have gotten rich off of his designs but really never made all that much from them. Of all the "clones", SWD was about the only mfgr that ever sent him any royalty checks. I suppose the early PS guns have some collectability for some...

And Winchester Model 95 upper hand guards.

Isn't that a little like your wife asking you "So, how many drinks did you have last night?" I think it varies. For us up here on the frozen plains it probably depends on weather. I had the flu nearly all month and so only got in a little test firing-maybe 30 rounds or so. We did have some...

Both are landmark deisgns in open bolt guns. Both set standards for magazine design that is still not exceeded. The Sterling is a very smooth, sophisticated shooter while the K-gun is a bit cruder and basic. Right now, the Sterling has better availability of parts. After you fire the...

10/45 is great gun but bulky and heavy. Very steady and fun with a Lage upper but with full mag, optics, stock, etc it starts feeling like you need a tripod and an assistant gunner...had one and liked it but got to shoot an M11/9 and decided that was the way to go. And there are lots more...

My son and I have each owned JAWS guns in recent years and they both worked fine and presented no problems in fitting accessories. He put about 17,000 rounds through his. I had a Lage upper on mine and it ran like a MoFo. The Lage was a very tight fit on the JAWS lower and it always seemed to...

Interesting question. You'd think that if you gave the suppressor section a serial number and filed the paperwork before you did it...but then when you're dealing with The Gubbermint so who knows! Maybe that rates as too much of a "permanent" modification or maybe you could sneak it by while...

Gauge your finished ammo. Especially for open bolt guns.

On Form 4, it says "Mfr and/or importer"..
