Glad you see it that way, 17th. I was feeling bad for rambling on in you build thread.

but the bolt moving forward before firing was always a bit "weird" to me.
Yes, I know the feeling you're talking about. Both the M3 and the Sten are like that. The Sterling has a much better balanced feel.

It looks like you're enjoying building your Sten. Give a Sterling some thought while the kits and semi-auto conversion parts are available. It's a little sweetheart. I am sure you would enjoy it.
