Regarding your post 7 Vincent, yes there should be enough information, looking at the drawing, in Peter's book on page 142 to do exactly the same conversion today. All that is needed is an original "donor" skeleton stock to provide the raw material. Provided that the drawing is read properly the resulting pistol grip should be exactly the same to the examples which Canada converted over 60 years ago. The only difference would be the date of conversion. This pistol grip should be much more comfortable than it's British cousin because of the curved shape of the metal used as apposed to the flat stock used in the British version.

There are all kinds of butt stocks available too.

Mind boggling! Apparently, if you mention the word Sten on the UK Ebay, it's immediately withdrawn.

A while ago, I thought that a U.K. eBay seller came up with a very creative solution to list a F/S Commando knife- it was listed as a F/S letter opener.

I ordered a Canadian Long Branch loop butt to make the PG. When I opened the box I was disappointed to see they had sent me an Lines Brothers loop butt…. then I noticed it has the holes for the sling hook and

By coincidence I had a look at my Long Branch Sten last night and it appears to have a U.K. made skeleton butt. There could also be a Faz. inspector's marking on it?
