    Here are a couple photos of a mk2 SAS sten with a 18.5" barrel. I built the dummy silencer slightly longer than stock and left the 4" of barrel protruding unfinished so it doesn't stand out as bad....

    George was the same guy who helped me through my 2-1/2 year odyssey with my semi sten. Without his help, my sten would have been sent in with the original receiver and then declared a C/A prohib.

    Time to register it I would say. You are at the point of being able to discharge a round.

    That makes sense on the shorter slug and longer springs. I was actually going to recess my springs into the bolt and hammer to get more room for longer ones. The ones I have now have held up OK to a...

    I am sure you guys will figure these things out, but I'll add a quick blurb on what changes have to be made to convert the mk3 template to mk2 conversion.

    Considered it, but I did this to have a reasonable copy of the sten gun. If the RCMP had an issue with the sten magwell I built, I was going to make one that took Inglis browning mags. I have many,...

    I usually heat up the old barrel nut to separate the threaded part from the short tube. I then recycle this onto the dummy silencer. On my version of the silencer, I went to about 14" length, and had...
