OT: Peter L: what was last years Stens on the books?

[Lee Enfield]

Peter,

Just a query from a Sten discussion on another board:

What was the last year that MoD still had Stens on issue somewhere or in store? Which models?

I'd guess it would be mid-1970s, and that there would be a few MkIISs and MkVs with some RAF or TA unit?

I was told the other day that they recently found a pile of Stens in store in the CF system.

Also told that it didn't take them long to ZF them into little pieces.
