Summary: Angry plus dissapointment
Review: After buying and reading the book I realized that I need a lathe to make the gun. Lost my money! I think that the author should let the visitors know about that "little fact" before buying the book.

Summary: Best Sub-Gun Book
Review: Just got the book this afternoon and let me tell you that this is a keeper.
From a mechanical engineering designer's line of sight, this book is the exact contrast to Bill Holmes' .50 Cal Disaster. No hand drawn doodles like Holmes (Metral has heard of CAD) and is entirely up to standard drafting techniques. As with any quality firearm, you need access to a lathe and preferably a mill. Top quality firearm design and nothing sketchy or lack of information. Measurement conversion is a non issue for people that heard of calculators. Simple step by step instructions and clear language. As for the mag. This gun was designed to be made in clandestine situations and Sten mags are very common and affordable. I would redesign it a bit for a more reliable mag such as an Uzi. In order to construct this, one MUST beware of the laws and its consequences. All in all, great read !!!

Summary: Attention everyone....
Review: Now here's the book you want if you're serious about firearms construction. Well-written, factory grade drawings, and an attractive weapon to build! Then why did I give it "only" four stars? Here's why. The magazine used with this weapon is the standard Sten SMG magazine. And every soul knows that the weak part of the Sten was....exactly, the magazine. So you better think of something else than using dodgy surplus WW2 rejects when you commence the construction of this impressive piece of weaponry. Anyway, great book, I love it.

Summary: Great book for the lathe enthusiasth!
Review: The book is rich in technical data and drawings, and the gun can be easily constructed by anyone who owns a machine shop. if you DO NOT have a machine shop nor know someone who does, DO NOT buy the book, because you won't be able to take anything good out of it except a good and complicated reading.

Summary: A Subgun that made the ATF CRY~!
Review: The technical drawings in this book are of a high standard and anyone who has experience and/or access to a machine-shop will find them an excellent reference to this kind of work. One notable exclusion however is that the author only passingly describes the process of barrel rifling and suggests that the reader purchase another of his books in which this subject is dealt with in detail. With this in mind perhaps the title should be "A...very inaccurate unless you buy another book as well Submachine Gun...etc"! Other than that it is excellent reference material.

Summary: Grat Book
Review: This book is NOT for the beginner. I found it to be poorly written; the "step by step plans" are too vague, and the drawings are complicated and lumped together in the back. If you are not a machinist I would not recommend this book.
