^ "Overland Telegraph, Adelaide to Darwin, 1872-".^ a b c d e f g h i j Archer, Dennis (1977).The gun received an Engineering Heritage National Marker from Engineers Australia as part of its Engineering Heritage Recognition Program. These had magazines inserted underneath rather than overhead, and were suspected of having been built for sale to local gangs involved in the illegal drug trade. In 2004, an underground weapons factory was seized in Melbourne, Australia, yielding, among other things, three silenced copies of the Owen submachine gun and parts to make six more. Little information exists as to the success of these experiments. Two horseshoe magazines were constructed in the field, of 60 and 72 rounds. Like the Sten, the Owen had a non-folding wire buttstock, but also had pistol grips like the Austen. After removing the barrel, the bolt and return spring are removed in a forward direction, completely dismantling the gun. This allowed the barrel to be removed rapidly, by pulling up a spring-loaded plunger in front of the magazine housing. To facilitate cleaning, the ejector was built into the magazine, rather than the body of the gun. In jungle warfare, where both mud and sand were frequent problems, the Owen gun was highly regarded by the soldiers. When tested, the Owen gun was able to continue firing despite being dipped in mud and drenched with sand, while a Sten gun and a Thompson also tested stopped functioning at once. The top-mounted magazine meant that if mud entered the weapon, it would either fall out on its own, or be pushed out by the magazine spring. This prevents dirt and mud from jamming the bolt, and makes the Owen a highly reliable weapon. Another unusual feature is the separate compartment inside the receiver, which isolates the small-diameter bolt from its retracting handle by means of a small bulkhead. The placement of the magazine allows gravity to assist the magazine spring in pushing cartridges down to the breech, which improves feeding reliability. It is easily recognisable, owing to its unconventional appearance, including the top-mounted magazine, and the side-mounted sight required to allow the firer to aim past it. It was designed to be fired either from the shoulder or the hip. The Owen has a simple blowback design, firing from an open bolt.
