Peter,


Since we are on the topic of gripping the Sten Mk V, I was wondering if you know of a source for either original or repro fore grips? I realize they were deleted in 45 because of the tendency to cause the barrel nut to screw loose and for the problems with the screw splitting the handles.

I have the Mk 2 barrel shroud with the two rows of holes, so the band would fit over it nicely as originally intended. Granted...I would have the two problems that you document in your book, but it would look correct for 4 and perhaps even into early 45.

ANy comments greatly appreciated!
