You bet. Got it from IMA and they usually ship pretty quick and they aren't far from my home. Should be here in about a week.
It will be real nice if my sten bayonet fits on it but I'm not sure which version that went with so who knows. Depends on their attention to detail I guess. Forgot I had one until today, well didn't forget, just didn't make the connection until today.

IMA is without power and not expected for it to be back on until the middle of next week. So my delivery most likely to be delayed.

An original Mag WILL fit the Denix Replica. There is one dealer in the UK, that when He sells one. He gives a genuine mag with the Gun upon a sale.
These mazak Alloy replica's are constructed differently in a lot of the internal design. The Barrel area in particular. I was looking to one
of these to convert into a Blank Firing version. I will say here, DONT bother!........

That's good to know. I'm planning to look into the cocking device when it arrives to see if an original could be made to work. I see what everyone says about that being wrong. So I'll have an original mag, bayonet and sling (ordered one of those yesterday from Numrich). I'll be taking the orange plug out of it also, that has to go. I have a suspicion the cocking device won't work as they one they installed is probably just spot welded in place.

It looks like tube is thicker metal than the original (probably so a real bolt won’t fit). You might have to tweak a real cocking handle to fit. You will also need to drill the hole for the safety if you go with a later type cocking handle that locks the bolt forward.
Those welds look really nice. Better than what you see on a typical STEN. And they are smoothed out on the mag housing like on the Mk2-S. Very nice!
I am looking forward to seeing how it takes down when you get it. Looks like there’s a screw in front of the rear sight?

One could make an aluminum BB on the lathe and make it to spec...except to fit the smaller tube of the gun...all would look correct though.

This is entirely feasible, But I would also make steel sear as well. The wear of continuous Dry firing WILL wear a sear of mazak.
Quite quickly!......

Problem is as you point out...once you start building parts, there's always one more weak point. It just shifts it around until it's the tube.
