I was going to suggest Gunnutz but I see you already have an ad there. There's a bronze bolt over on the 12X sale forum...

Making a Sten barrel is simplicity itself if you have a 7" length of rifled 9mm blank. From simple to very simple depending on the mark/type you want
Or as in past I've made one from a straight tube of barrel and a machined collar like they were apparently done by factory...sweat together, cross pin and go.Originally Posted by Peter Laidler

There have been Sten bits and pieces in the last few auctions. Prices have been insane. A bolt and barrel could exceed $1000.
Making a barrel would certainly be an option. A piece of .35 caliber barrel and a buddy with a lathe and chamber reamer would be needed. If the blank diameter is too small for a one piece barrel, a barrel can be made in two pieces, as many original Mk. II barrels were fabricated. Pretty basic shop operations.
