Sten Mag will Work in a What?

Hello Group,
I remember seeing or reading somewhere that a Sten Sub-machine gun Magazine will fuction in another weapon. Does anyone know what it is? I think it was a 9mm Uzi or maybe a Mac-10. And now for the big money question.... will this weapons mag work in a Sten?
Thanks, paul.

Paul...... I saw an ad for an upper reciever for the AR-15 type rifles that was set up for 9mm and used un-modified STEN mags.

It was in the shotgun news, May 10th issue, page 19. Its called the Vulcan. Not sure if this is what looking for, but its the only one I have seen.

There was a modification kit for the MAC 10/9 that allowed use of Sten mags

The lanchester SMG and a variety of Submachine guns used sten mags, Lanchester also had a 50 rounder that works with sten The German MP-28 also used the sten mag despite the fact that it was produced before the sten was a thought so it may be that the Sten used the MP 28II mag

I dont think the Sten Type mag will Work in Uzi, the Uzi mag is smaller

Various Semi Auto SMG Look Alikes also utilized the sten mag

Here is a kit for the PPSh 41 sub gun that converts it to 9mm and uses the sten mag

Hello Viking
Yes a sten mag will work in a commando mark 9. They look like a tommy gun but shoot 9mm, they also made a 45 auto version. Made by volunteer enterprizes in knoxville tenn. 1969-1976. Volunteer enterprizes became commando arms after 1978. I have both versions.The 9mm version was made to use sten mags.

Hello Group,
Thank you for all the information. I had no idea they would fit so much stuff. Now for another one ..... Has anyone seen the top of one mag put on the bottom of another? I am thinking of a shotgun news ad were they had welded a PPHS drum onto a sten mag. I was told it works by putting a small section of motorcycle chain under the feed tray. Thanks,Odentheviking.
