Quoted: I was just wondering if you really wanted to cut up the RRA magwell adapter. The RRA has a nice dual pin retaining device in the front but nothing in the back to hold the rear in place. You might want to think about getting the Brownell's 2 piece magblock because it's already set up for both pieces to lock in place. Since the brownell's is already a 2 piece, it's also easier to modify the dimensions so the sten will fit, and if you keep the RRA mag adapter you can still use Uzis and even Colts if you win the lottery (while your modifying the Brownell's). Just my 2 cents.
I edited to ask; Do you run this full auto or semi?

I ran it both.
I'm
not not not putting anything in my mag well that pushes a screw out into the receiver metal. My lower is worth too much money. If it were a normal Title I lower I would.
The retaining mechanism of the RRA adapter is
exactly why I'm going to hack it up.
The Sten mags are a little wide in the back for the RRA adapter. If I remove the right side of the RRA adapter, the Sten mag should fit. Or, if I thin down the back 0.25" on each side of the Sten mag it looks like it will fit the RRA adapter.
Thinning down the front part of the RRA adapter to .475" might prove to be a little bit difficult, but I'll have access to a very well stocked machine shop for a couple of days next week. We'll see how it comes out. One of my relatives is a very clever machinist.
While I'm at it the barrel needs to be cut to it's proper 10.5" length.
I replaced the mag catch today and my nasty hacked up UZI mags sit several thousandths higher and lock up much more positively. We'll see how they shoot when I get back from MO.

WTF is wrong with MO? Aren't people adult enough to buy a handgun without a permit and own machineguns without a damned C&R license? If I move back there I'm going to have to get a C&R that I don't want just to take my M16 with me. I have to have one just to visit with it! This CLEO signoff with NFA is bullshit. Treating machineguns differently than any other firearm is bullshit. So is this damned mag ban! I shouldn't have to do all this hacking and slashing just to get some cheap hi-caps.
