Building the Canadian Semi-Auto STEN

[Mick]

Nice job Mick! Now, either a Mk2 or a Mk3 unrestricted without the anteater look would be even better.

You are always talking about an unrestricted sten without an anteater look Why not make one ? Maybe you could even persuade Dix to part with his long barrel

I think they are nice looking guns when built with the sight rail, I'm pleased with the result. Here's a pic showing the tabs.
Here's a pic of the tab bender jig I used.



Next time I speak to Mr Smith I will ask him if I would need to send a gun in with a full length barrel to get a non restricted FRT number. I have a feeling that the anwer would be yes, but you never know.

PS, I am sure a 9mm bullet would shoot down a curved barrel. If you were to bend his barrel around a mandrel to make it like a spring you could probably reduce it from an 18 1/2" barrel down to 9".
