The coolest sub gun that not everyone has heard about. Not only does it 'look' cool but supposedly they perform admirably.
Beyond that the gun also has a deep history. Designed and made after WW1 and a bit before and during WW2. Germany after WW1 was hit with the Treaty of Versailles which made...
Finally established a rough zero. The rear sight is cranked to the right. Which normally would be indicative of a canted front sight. But every means I've used to check the level between the sights says it's pretty dead on.
The ledges that the sight adjustment screws clamp down on were...
I took the component that latches the receiever to the FCG group(lower) and welded on some material. I then hand filed it down and then stoned the piece. The gun now locks together very tightly which should help in the accuracy department. If you take note the front and rear sight are on...
I had a very productive weekend
Out with the old
16" barrel installed
It needs a new locking shoulder before test fire but thatll have to wait until after the holidays unfortunately
Now time for some paint in the mean time
Lol absolutely
I make build videos and ive contemplated making one for this one. Its just such a simple build procedure that its not really 'sexy' though.
Looks like my Christmas gift to myself has shipped today(and hopefully will be here tomorrow/weekend). So heres the plan. Im going to take my shorty pistol FAL and we are going to transform this sad excuse of a bush pistol into a bush rifle.
We are then going to weld up the latching component...
Looks answered, but yes you can.
Unlesss you are a SOT you will have to modify the bolt to semi specs as well as converting it from open to closed bolt. You will also need to add a blocking bar that will prevent a unmodified auto bolt from being dropped in.
The easiest way to do a Sten is to...
Heres the build video and testing with some subs. They are not quite the quality of the SD video. I got better over time and more proper equipment(namely a tig welder) to build rollerlocks

Im probably going to rebuild mine next. It was my first HK build, and it shows it.
It is a cool caliber. However its not very quiet in my experience. I get a ton of port pop with subs. Surprisingly the supers were much quieter than I expected. I think this is mainly due to the bolt operating at...
Cant blame you there. I wish I had a sear.
The SD is probably my favorite of the triology. Im not sure if its the weight, drop in velocity or simply the big can, but it shoots very gently. But it certainly takes more maintenece and much more cleaning than a normal MP5 and a 3 lug can. I will...
Thanks!
Perhaps down the road. Ive been looking into getting a FFL a little bit. I would love to go full SOT. But I dont think I could ever justify the expense for the few I would make a year for people.
We will see how it goes. With a gunsmith FFL I could still offer atleast some services...
