Hi all, started doing Owen Gun drawing but having trouble accessing a real version. Would their be any Owen owners here that would be willing to share dimensions.
Thanks all.

Would it need an ar10 reciever?
Building my first ar now and looking ahead to other projects.
Couldn't wait til the weekend to test fire this bad boy!
After playing around with paper wad blanks, I reduced the charge to 30gr. Not bad results from a few yards away with a sightless smoothbore lol
65gr Hornady .350 lead round ball
30gr Hodgdon 777 3F BPS
8" barrel
Roughly 1370fps, 271 foot pounds of energy, 75% powder burn (needed the volume anyway to get a good pack). All numbers are probably slightly less due to gas leak from the fuse hole.
Tons of fun! Can't wait for the next one.
hey look wot i just made boyz.
Was rolling this idea in my head today and it seems like it would be pretty easy to do and allow you to use cast bullet equipment with a simple electroplating setup to create plated bullets without the large cash input for swaging equipment.
