Do any 9mm AR's take Sten mags?

[Claven2]

Anyone know if any AR15 9mm guns are made that take Sten mags?

I'm assuming you would need a wider mag well for an adaptor plus room for the mag itself?

There was an adapter available to fit in a standard AR magwell that allowed you to use unaltered Sten mags. They were awkward as they had a seperate mag catch instead of the standard one. Without practice, you'd dump the adapter instead of just the Sten mags.

Yeah, I've seen those. Here is one:

But I think you MIGHT need an Olympic-Arms style upper to use these Sten adaptors. I don't know if they will work with an RRA/Model 1 Sales/Colt/Sabre Defense type system upper?

I believe you are right, as the Olympic was meant for a single point feed, vs the colt/uzi double feed lips.

Dlask made an AR pistol that took Sten mags.

I wish they were still around.

SNS Industries makes/made one. It's a two piece Colt type block that will work in either a Colt or Olympic system. They're no longer in business but have contact info for another company that will continue to produce them.

I have one of their blocks in the white but have never put it to use. Couldn't find sten mags at a reasonable price.

Easy enough to mod a sten mag to fit. Can do it at home with a file.
