E.U. Spec. deactivated MK2 Sten

[tankhunter]

I did get offered a deac mag for a Bren last year and I thought that the trader was taking the mick until he pointed out the deac stamp on it. He went on to say that that was the reason that it had no internals but I don't know it anything else had been done to it. I partly wished that I had bought it as a novelty now.

The spec required that the feed lips to be removed. If this was done, then in a LOT of cases. The follower & spring, would simply 'Pop Out' the top!
I have seen this countered however, by ONLY one lip being removed!.....

Hence seeing the mags with no internals, which was also a requirement. Upon initial submission for Deact Proofing.
