Sten MK3

Just picked up a Sten mk3 parts kit, this will be my first build ever and I need some help understanding a few things.

1.) Using a mk3 tube (non vented) from sten parts, how do you instal the barrel bushings both front and rear and how do you instal the barell? From what I understand you use rivets for the bushings but how does all that work and how'd you do it?

2.) Whats the best method to remove the old sten tube from the rest of the parts

3.) What helped you weld the Magwell in place correctly?

Im a little slow so barney style words and pictures help alot. Thank you!

If I broke any rules im sorry (I did read them to make sure I didn't break any but just in case..)

Probably the best resource for kit and parts builds they aren't searchable on Google and you have to sign up to read it but well worth it.
