    Thanks for the ID! Wish the kit had come with that extra safety catch. It's always difficult to replicate a part without having one in hand.

    Thanks for the heads-up on the Owen parts! I actually have a complete Owen parts set - but I do like that finned barrel! I could use a mag or two though, and that MP38 mag also.

    Just a bit of an update. I had left the flat off on my build, and have now found that the flat is not needed if the receiver tube is of a reduced inside diameter. The added wall thickness means the...

    Thanks! The rear sight is from a Suomi KP-31. It's been modified somewhat - shortened and lowered to try and make it more Lanchester-like. Also scrubbed the word "SUOMI" from the side.

    Well dang - I went and installed my front sight after the barrel. And now I learn what that flat is for!

    Thanks for the information. Off to my shop to drive out the front sight and cut that flat.

    Since it shares magazines with the STEN, I located my barrel similar to the STEN, with the breech end of the barrel about 0.040" forward of the inside front face of the magazine opening. I've seen...

    On the barrel I made for my Lanchester semi-auto (posted in an earlier thread here), I just omitted that flat, since I could not figure out any purpose for it. Works fine. I used a STEN-type...
