Haganah - TMT IV Sten markings

..second from left is brazed the entire length both sides, field repair ??

It looks like the cover that came with my Haganah parts. (Pictures in post #50.)

Someone with a bit of time on their hands should write a book solely about the variables of the parts. Especially the magazines where some 68,000,000 were made

Did you ever hear who made the Star of David marked magazines?

[philb]

nope no idea

[Peter Laidler]

I seem to recall Liebentruth(?) mags were marked with FL and/or the six pointed star. They were one of the first contractors too.

Surely after 9 pages this thread has wandered far enough to cease and re-start as something to do with parts

Attachment 74371was the rear housing made in 2 parts or more ?, if yes why was that when I could of been done in 1 part ?

[Flying10uk]

Your drawing shows 2 parts, the end cap which is a formed sheet metal part and the rear housing bush which is a turned/milled/machined part. Your drawing would appear to show that both parts are made from a single piece of metal.

[philb]

cheers the lower one, yes that's what I thought

[tiriaq]

The recoil spring guide on that sheet is incorrect. The drawing set from which that drawing came incorporates a number of errors.

[Peter Laidler]

The return spring cup and the related return spring cap were both one-hit pressings. I mention these specifically in the Sten book.

But once again.................... SURELY, Isn't it long overdue time for this long winded, 9 page thread, that's morphed into the manufacture of parts, be closed and a new relevant thread just about parts started.

Most of the threads here wander off topic. It might be that some of us don’t know how to start a new thread and just hit reply on a thread that is about the same type of gun? Or it could be a cultural thing?

A moderator can split threads easily. The Vb software is very simple to use.
