Hoser Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 I have a new to me transferrable Sten. I get it. Mags suck. I also have a M11/9. The Shockwave Zmags are awesome compared to the old original mags. Has anyone ever tweaked a Sten mag housing to allow use of M11 mags? I am guessing adding a filler on the fwd end of the housing to compensate for the shorter front to back mag. I have tried searching over and over and all I find is info on changing your Mac to take Sten mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickStand Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 (edited) Yes, it has been done. Check out uzitalk and search for Skoda. I believe, he’s done it. Edited March 11 by KickStand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPinFL Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 sten mags must have the proper feed angle and feed lip gap to work. Most surplus mags are out of spec. Have you tried the reduced capacity Indian mags or lanchester 50 rd. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
