Stick to a few spots of MIG or TIG, and use steel tubing, as cannot weld steel to aluminum.

Quoted: ....as cannot weld steel to aluminum. I was under the impression that JB weld would overcome that, but I think it's like bondo in that bondo needs something to hold on to when it hardens. Along with the square hole on the back of the sten mag, I was going to drill a couple of holes in the tube for the JB weld to grab onto and harden. Warrior23, my SOCOM block has been modified for another project I'm working on. I pinned it in to another lower and I'm going to install an extended mag catch to use with notched stens. I'll post the project with pictures when I'm done. |

Standard AR/M16 mag catch retains the block, then you use the lever down below to work the Sten mags.

I also recommend the SOCOM block. However, if you do want this sort of thing you ask to work, do not use JB weld. I strongly suggest DEVCON Pro-Steel Epoxy. It is hard and machineable and damn near as strong as a weld. It is what Scattergun Tech sends with front sights to attach then to Remington Shotgun barrels. It is also a handy product for autobody work. Read the directions. After curing, heat with a heat gun and this stuff is awesome!!

I drilled the mag button and tapped it,put in a set screw and now I can't accidentally drop the magblock with the mag.But if I need to take it out its just a matter of removing the setscrew.

I took my $5 CDNN mags to a machine shop, and for $20 ea, they are just like the $65 one OLY sells. Try a local machine shop. I used the Socom setup for awhile, but I like the the factory type mags much better.
