Mk5 Sten – Progress Report

This ought to be nice when finished. I could grouse that the grain of the patches is running the wrong way but the finish is very nicely done...

I think the grain of the patches is done that way intentionally to make them stronger.

I admire your patience with the pistol grip, especially when they are available for $25.

Thanks, but I didn’t do the work. My woodworking skills are nonexistent.

Those reproduction grips don’t look bad. I like the patched one better. I think it adds something to the gun.
