It's times like this when I wish I had a full auto Sten,Thompson or MP40 handed down to me in the 1960's from a relative and had it registered then, so I woudn't have to have it butchered,I mean deactivated.

Tony imagine, when the law that made full autos grandfathered passed, on January 1rst 1979, I turned 18 just 18 days later (Jan. 19 1979). So, had the law passed as of February first 1979, I would be a bona fide Full Auto collector. Talk about bad timing!

Here's a simple selector / safety switch conversion. It works really well.

I don't think stens ever had a proper safety, but I can't think why.

Lots of views, but not any posts recently. Perhaps Claven2 etc have become bored with sten guns![Confused](images/smilies/confuse.gif)
I've been busy learning how to use the new milling machine, it's nice to be able to everything under one roof.
I have made a couple of MkIII's that just need finishing off, and have started on a MkI*. The MkIII sight rails were a pain to do previously but not any more.
Here's a pic of the new machine at work.

No, not exactly bored, just working on other projects at the moment. Iv'e built 3 in total, all MkII types. First two were SAS3's and sold on CGN, last one was open-bolt and I still have it, it remains unblued and is still in CFC limbo, every month or two, I call and ask what's up with it, and they promise to get back to me, then don't... lol. In the meantime, it is registered as a receiver with paperwork to prove I tried to change status, so theoretically I could go wail with it IMHO.
