Chinese Aid MK2 Long Branch Sten

[Brit plumber]

My LB Chinese contract STEN has the acceptance stamp and definitely went to China as it was converted to 7.65 Tok. The only problem is that no one is 100% sure what magazine it uses. Most say it is a standard STEN mag with the rear rib cut out and a strip welded in to make the mag take the longer Tok round.

If it helps, there's an example in the Imperial War Museum in London which has been converted to 7.62x25mm Tokarev; it appears to be fitted with a PPS-43 (Or, more likely a Chinese Type 54, which was the same thing) magazine.
