The Cetme kits are pretty inexpensive these days and barrels seem easy to find. Has anyone had any experience with these recent kits? Mainly looking to see if there are any major reasons to avoid them. Thanks ..read more

What are the chances that you would get a Swedish K semi-auto build using the original bolt and tube approved - basically just modifying the trigger group? I guessing zero but interested in your thoughts ..read more

I know quite a few of you own a TNW Suomi M31, so I'm hoping this is helpful. I have the striker fired version, and the trigger was atrocious. I estimate that it was about 10-12 lbs (it exceeded the limit of my gauge). Now it is about 4 lbs. I have fired two stick mags through it so far with no issues. Here is what I did to improve the trigger pull and the overall functionality of the gun. If you have the latter hammer fired version, you likely won't have as bad of a trigger to begin with...

Hey guys. First of all, I apologize if this is the wrong place for this but I wasn't sure where it would fit in best. Anyway. I'm waiting for my SBR stamp to arrive so that I can legally attach an A3 collapsible stock to my MP5. Currently, the gun has a modern FBI semiauto trigger housing or lower as some like to call it. That said. I've done some research recently and found that there is no exact standards to follow meaning, I've found no end of examples with varying stocks, lowers and...

Has anyone ever built a skorpion from a kit? I've heard it's a fairly simple conversion and kits seem to be readily available and include barrels. I've never built anything from a kit like this before so what do I have to do to keep it safe and legal at all times? I would be going with a brand new semi automatic lower receiver and from what I've heard it's not much different than building an AR-15 after you disable the FA parts. Thanks in advance ..read more

So we decided to have some fun, and I know these were only added to a few MP40s. The problem was when they added them to an MP40 tube, the tube became too weak after milling out the space for this magazine well. When added to an MP38 tube, this is no longer any problem. Anyway, it is a cool item and a piece of history. [ATTACH... Double magazine well ..read more

My quest for a transferable Chinese ZB 26 is currently on hold due to not having $35,000 laying around. After doing some research it seems there were a fair number of Chinese ZB 26 parts kits in 7.62x39 imported into the US. How is the quality of the 7.62x39 kits? Do they function reliability when built by a good builder? Who are the best ZB 26 semi auto builders who can still do builds? Does anyone have a ZB 26 kit in 7.62x39 they'd like to sell? Thanks ..read more

Trying to get back into posting on the boards again so I thought I'd show off my Mk2 Sten SBR build that I finished up recently. Still need to swap the stock for the correct loop style but I'm really pleased with how it turned out and it runs great. I started out with a Chinese contract Long Branch Mk2 parts kit made in 1945 and ordered the semi auto tube and bolt kit from Indianapolis Ordnance. All the work on the tube was done with a drill press, dremel tool cutoff wheels, and hand... Long Branch Sten MkII SBR Build ..read more
