Sten Tubes

[rockmup]

Been a long time since I bought these, trying to do the machine work before I move. 2 short and 2 long tubes.

Sadly they'll just go in the box until I can finish them

My Suomi m31 that I’ve had since the mid-2000s. It’s almost done.

 

[D_JEEPER]

I kinda want to build some more stens....

I have one that is kinda rough and runs somewhat consistently. but seems to have a lot of jams. Any good sources on SA parts these days?

The suomi coffin mags actually work

I've got quite a few stick mags. I think I paid less than 10 bucks for each of them way back when they were giving suomi parts kits away.

 

[rockmup]

I didn’t get any Suomi kits. Wish I did

My first one was literally free. There was a buy an AK kit for 89 or 99 bucks and get a free Suomi kit included deal from Copes or Centerfire or one of those places. I think I paid 20 bucks for the second one.

I’ve still got several AK flats and blanks.

Got one of these I’d like to do something with one of these years.

 

[surpip]

Takes like maybe 25-30 min to do one of those. Most fun legos ever.

LOL! I still have the first post ban AK pistol I built using a Tapco flat and one of their $65 matching AMD-65 kits. I think the total cost was $80. I had to have an AK pistol to commemorate SEP 14, 2004, as I couldn’t afford a preban one during the ban.
I still have four or five of the $5 Hungarian 20 rounders to go with it. I miss building $100 AKs.

The soumi kits were torch cut with a vengeance. Trunions were completely unusable. Had a couple. Sold them off. Wish I would have got some of the drum when they were cheap.

 

[gozuki]

I grabbed a couple drums for my 9mm aks
