Schmitty, sir, you sir are a frickin genius, sir!
I am inspired to attempt my own MKIII project. Fifteen years ago I carried a RS version of this when I played with the paras during a 3000 man re-enactment with the Historical Reenactment Society at Ft. Campbell KY.
One of my fondest memories was littering the entire floor of bell tower with brass shell cases as I and a guy from the 10th Mtn. repelled the Germans who were trying to take the tower.
I would surely like an AEG version of this. Cheers

Schmitty two questions for you
When you cut, rotating and re-attached the ak hopup unit, did you try to keep it to the original length or was it slightly shorter due to material lost when cutting?
Do you think the PGC MP40 gearbox could be modified to work in the sten?
Thanks

Did you just say 3000 man reenactment? Wow, imagine an airsoft reenactment that big, pretty dangerous!

When I cut the AK hop up I used a razor saw. It's a very thin hack saw you buy at a hobby shop for model building. I then rotated the back half 90 degrees and super glued it back to the front. I had a temporary piece of brass tubing inside to keep the pieces aligned. Then I cut a piece of brass tubing to fit over the outside of the whole thing and epoxied it in place, I suppose it may be a tiny bit shorter but not enough to matter.
I'm not sure about using the PGC MP-40 gearbox in a sten, I think the modified Ver III is overall a little smaller.

IMO, its okay to necro if the information is important.
Probably best to PM him.

In his defense, this was just recently stickied so it's at the top of the section-
However he could have noticed the dates......

For some odd reason the pictures don't show up on all computers. If you don't see them try right clicking on where the picture should be, go to properties, Copy and paste the address into your address bar, when you click back you should be able to see all the pictures. Sorry, there is some kind of problem between comcast and internet explorer.

Any chance you could tell us how you did it? There'd be a bunch of Brits building stens if you could publish some plans ;-)

Hey shcmitty, do you think you could post up a few pictures of that hop up unit and how you modified it? I'm trying to build Sterling L2A3 and its looking like this is going to be my only option.
