FWIW, BRP has one set of the Sten magazine mandrel & hammer available for the princely sum of $250.00. They had two several days ago, but the site is showing only one available now.

Shows out of stock now. Gone...I had one a couple years back and lent it to a "Friend"...who kept it and told me it was lost when he mailed it back to me... Yes, they're desirable.
As you now know Jim, loaning tools or books can often not end well.
Sure glad I bought mine when they were cheap and plentiful from BRP.
When I look at the ad, I see them listing the sten ruptured case extractors for $60. Seems a little pricey. I have several thousand of those in buckets out in the shed. They are more like a $10 item.
