The RRA conversion from ADCO is much cheaper than the Olys I've seen (although I'd need a hammer and buffer).  My question is, will I be able to modify Sten mags Oly style to use them in conjunction with an RRA upper?

UHH, refer to the 3rd tacked post above titled "Sten mags in the Colt system"?

Might consider the Hy-Tech block, then feed it with plain Uzi mags... Refer to the Hy-Tech thread tacked above.

I feel dumb.  Where can I get a JRW block?  Can't seem to find one anywhere.

That, unfortunatley, is the problem now.  The JRW block was made by JRW Sports, who sold them to Brownells.  And Brownells discontinued it mid 2003.  I was going to buy one more set, but never got to it.

I'm not sure if anyone makes the old 2 peice block anymore...

I read here that Mr. JRW was killed in a motorcycle accident, which shut down that source rather permanently, unfortunately.

Why not seperate an existing 1 piece into 2 pieces, and carry on the mod as usual, only side effect is you may need to secure the pieces in a fashion like "Highland Mac?" did.

Proverbial flogging of the dead horse.....

Page 6 or 8 of the Sten mag thread---Profgab101... he is well over a year past due, he says his computer with the CAD drawing was confiscated in a "raid".

Yeah, Profgab101 has not posted in at least 6 months, so that would be DOA.

Just spend the bucks and get the VMHytech and a couple of used UZI mags.  A little more expensive but currently the cheapest route to go....

My guess is that in the next few months Gloftoe is going to have something available for sale, and it will be better than the JRW system!
