Hello,

can it be done and can someone please explain how ? (with pictures if possible please?)

Also does anyone have a source for real mags that will ship to France and take Paypal? (lol)

I understand those are quite common in the UK but in France not so much.

I have these two MGC that I managed to save but none came with an original MGC magazine. Rolling Eyes Crying or Very sad

I modified a sten mag to fit a MCG mp40. I needed to grind the sides down to make it fit. I dont know if it will feed as I do not have cartridges.

Ok, so it will just "seat" in the mag well but not lock?

There is a small parts on the mag, you need to remove(which is welded) it and put it back on the different spot again between mag and mag housing in order to place the mag at right position.

Then make a small hole for the mag catch.(this is very important)

You need to adjust the ejector to vent little not to interfere against the bolt and mag.

Thanks, first I need to get my hands on a real mag as it's hard for me to visualize it.
