Building the Canadian Semi-Auto STEN

[Mick]

I don't think it would make a difference if the slope was at a steeper angle, apart from making it release the sear sooner. If the angle were to steep it would disconnect from the sear before it had released the bolt. I think I have it at the optimum angle as it is now.

That would be a fair list of modifications.
The extra modifications would approximately double the time it took to convert it. It could be done with simple hand tools. The gun was built with hand tools.

I have no idea what the standards are, they seem to make them up as they go along. Most semi autos they grantrestricted or non restricted FRT numbers for can be converted to full auto easier than the stens I have sent for inspection.

The only way to get the answers is to go to court, I have a date set for the 13th of next month.

Im not after preferential treatment, just a level playing field.Iwill ask how it is that other semi autos have been granted non prohibited FRT numbers when they can be converted to full auto in a couple of minutes.

For what I could find here and there, the only new SEMIAUTOMATIC Stens that are reviewed by the RCMP are those from Sasksten. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right. Anyone had confirmation on this one? My SAS3 based Semi Sten Mk2 build is still on ice 'til I know more.
