    The shank of the screw needs to be large enough that one half of it is engaging the collar, and one half engaging the bushing, with enough engagement to hold the barrel in. I suspect that a number 10 screw would work. Original would have been BA; perhaps a 10-24 05 10-32 would suffice. Or a 8- could be tried.
    The reason I ask about registration status is that this thread is about making a legal reroduction of the Sten. Not entirely convinced that posting a photo of a currently unregistered gun is all that helpful.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It is a legal reproduction. How the hell is anyone going to get a gun registered without making one first ?

    Making guns is legal in Canadaicon.

    PS, I am not 100% sure that the screws should be seen from the top. The barrel retaining collar on the MkI* is slightly different from a MkI. I would like to see a good photo of a MkI* before installing longer screws from the top rather than underneath..

    That may be, but I DO NOT want pics of HOME MADE basement efforts on this site.

    What was the agreement I said "YES" to when I joined? (click here)

    I think this thread, although interesting to some folks, has wandered off the primary mission statement of this site, clearly agreed to when people join. This site is about the collecting of old military surplus firearms, accessories, ammunition, and accoutrements, not about how to build your own home made firearms and get them registered.

    Thanks, but it's time to get back to our knitting ...

    Thread Closed !
