I dont have my calipers rn but a bit taller than half inch I guesstimated based off some measurements I found online but ive hit gongs at 100 with it so the sights are usable I plan to add Pic rail and a red dot at some point
I have a partially built mk3. How hard was the whole barrel bushings and rivet install? I’ve had the project on hold for about a year now since I’m intimidated and I want to build it right.
if you have a lathe boring bar and a little knowledge its easy I didn't rivet mine I used beefed up cap screws the original rivets are 1/8 my screws are 10 32 I believe
Yea I don’t have a lathe or anything. I was slowly working my way into this project as it was my first attempt at a parts kit rebuild. I should probably go back and start looking for more info and pick back up working on mine again. Thanks for the info!
I made it based it of of the SB tactical brace i tried to make it as offensive to shoulder as possible so it has 2 bolts that push into the shooter if shouldered so it wouldn't be mistaken for a stock

Nice! Is the brace something you made or bought? This is inspiring. STEN MK2?
