STEN and mag go gauge

[Scott C]

Hello All,

I'm a first time member. I live in the USA and just recently acquired my first STEN MK2. It was assembled by Fazakerley under their Dec 1941 contract according to Peter Laidler's book.

Trying to learn all I can. When doing a function check the first time on the gun, only one mag fed reliably. I just ordered a 10 pack of mags and am considering purchasing a STEN mag Go Gauge I've found but wondering if anyone knows how to use it?

I also have an armours mag repair tool that includes a mag insert and mandrel that goes over the feed lips. When using this tool, should I simply tap lightly on the end of the mandrel with a hammer?

Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Scott
