I like using a pocket for a m5 nut that's under the trigger. The m5 is smaller than the factory grip screw but if you're breaking m5 grip screws you're doing something very wrong 😅
I really avoid using bolts in plastic threads if possible.
I'm not sure about compatibility but overall there isn't much out there for .45 magazines, I think partially due to lack of interest and platforms that need it.
Yeah, I just grabbed my thinned mag and it definitely won't fit in the Glock slide enough, by quite a bit. Factory Sten mags must be quite a bit thinner than the printed version
On hold.
Printed trip bar version works but I had issues with the first metal bars, so that needs to be revisited. The metal is thinner than the plastic which affected release a bit.
It's a fairly involved project and testing/development is slow going on my own, plus mag dump testing 308 gets expensive fast.
I know another ' almost sten mag mag' option sucks but the UK sten mags have excess material on top. I was able to mod them to fit a Ruger slide which is narrower than a Glock and the round has to be presented higher in the Ruger than a Glock.
Terrible pic to show what I'm saying but you can see where the top is notched so the feed tower will fit in the slide and present the round at the right height
You might want to try the franken without the ejector, someone else was having issues with that. The other internals are basically the same as a fmda dd19.2 which is pretty well established.
Oh SCS uploader caught it. Next place I looked at wanted me to contact for a quote.
I was hoping another place may be to make it, otherwise I'll add the minimum amount of flange and finish the cut myself.
Not sure how the factory does it, maybe its cut after being bent?
I'm assuming like the other poster your changing the receiver.
Look for the updated V4 with the additional material in front of the rejection port.
It will be some work to do it right but as long as your other hard parts are okay it's doable.
Your other alternative is a metal receiver. Also doable, but more work for the rivets for an arguably better result.
