Mk5 Sterling.

The suppressor is a modern design.

Semi-automatic KP/-31 (M31) built by TNW.

It was a "box gun". The man who sold it to me said he didn't know what was wrong with it.

After I put it together I found the safety didn't work and it had a hair trigger. Someone had done a job on the trigger. Why anyone would try to lighten the trigger on one of these is a mystery to me. The thing weighs a ton. A little dab of weld, some filing, polishing, bluing and it's good to go. Not bad for $200. And to be honest, I enjoyed fixing it. There's something satisfying about getting these old guns working again. I feel like I've accomplished something worthwhile with my time.

Just waiting for the sun to come up so I can give it a good test.

Love that hi cap box mag. What is that, about 100 rd? Yup, good deal for 2 bills...and you'll need about a case of ammo.

The mags didn't come with the gun. I had them squirreled away.

The coffin mag holds 50 rounds.

It's an interesting design. There's a loader for it around here somewhere.

The drums can hold 72 rounds each and the sticks hold 36 rounds.

I think a case of ammo would cost more than the gun.

a case of ammo would cost more than the gun.

Specially when you come back without any of it left...
