Who built it?
I have an Erb and it was absolute crap. Flawless now with the help of Paul Krogh in CO. I want to get a suppressor for it eventually. I have a friend who's been experimenting with both a Mk.2S and a Mk.5S with great results and it's stirred my interest.
You don't think those are Sten Peter?Quote:

Is your ERB built as a MkV?
It should be a good one. I did a BDL FTR to a Wilson Mk.5 a few years ago and it was a nice gun.
I know what you mean. My own projects are on the far back burner.
Mine was built originally as a Mk.V. Erb builds are less than stellar but can usually be fixed.
I think that they are to the usual Sten format BAR but not actual Sten barrels as such. But you don't know until they're fitted.
Hard to say unless they were in YOUR hands...
They are just a wee, wee bit too large to fit in a Mk2. Probably only by 0.002" or less. They would press in with no trouble.
The MkV is in transfer, so I can't try them in it yet.
I found a suppressor for the Sten. Now I need a thermal sleeve.
Does the colo(u)r of this one look right? British Sten Gun SMG Canvas Silencer Cover ima-usa.com
Too sandy/yellow coloured. We had sort of khaki webbing coloured and also a dark green like 44 pattern webbing colour. Made from heavy duty canvas. Think truck canopy. 6 lace holes with an internal flap that folded back to sit under the laced-up part. With asbestos string from the Vickers gland box wrapped under the thermal jacket
Thanks, Peter. I thought it didn't look right.
