I have a Lage Max10/31 and I'm too cheap to pay for coffins or more drums. S-Mags are now out of production.
This is a little thing I found buried back on Uzi Talk. Figured I'd share here too for folks.
Recently picked up some Sten mags in various stages, including ball of cosmoline, from a member here. Super stoked about them. Some Indian, including one with the limiters still in place, Finnish, British and I havnt figured out the origin of the rest yet. I enjoy stuff like that. I might even leave most of the mags as they are for the "patina".
Sten mags are about 0.020" thicker front to back than the magwell on my Max10/31. There are 2 methods that seem to be used. Sand the front and back down or squish it in a vice. Obvious problems can arise from squishing them if you go too far. I chose the squish method.
Made 3 prototypes today with an endmill that would work great as a butter knife. Please excuse the HORRID finish.
Attached is a photo of a print from UziTalk as well as a pic of my prototypes next to a S-Mag.
I will silver solder these on in the coming weeks and update with mounting dimensions vs feed lips.
Hopefully this can help a fellow mac or Suomi user.
