Hi Thierry


I suggest you to find at first the drawings of all parts weapons that you whish to rebuilt (easy for WWII weapons not so easy for ancient period).

By form meclan

[thierry]

then it must be a bolt action or a smg from ww2

[Walther38]

The simplest smg from WWII period is, of course, STEN.
But do not use widely spread over the net drawings/blueprints as they have many errors in external appearance.
See these drawings
STEN MkII real look (in scale)
Sten MkII Comp2

I've got this Sten MkIII Receiver Template laying around...ready to be cut out, just follow the dots, lol...
cheers, Glenn

Maybe this would be also helpful

If you prefer doing German, the Volkssturmgewehr 1-5 would be easy too, me thinks.

On the other hand the MP3008 (Neumuenster Gereat) also is simple.

Hi to everyone,

In the meantime I have built my own, fully functional replica of Polish Vis wz. 35 pistol. It looks like real one, disassembly like real one, shoots like real one but the only difference is that it is an ASG GasBlowback pistol. But it is definitely cheaper than the real one.
