Building the Canadian Semi-Auto STEN

[Mick]

There may be some developments in the not too distant future.

You can safely bet on that. : )

In the meantime the stens have been returned, and I have submitted another one. I expect to be sending in more guns for approval soon, which no doubt will pi$$ them off even more.

The FRT group do not seem to have any standards for testing guns, ( least non that they have made me aware of despite requests ) the whole business really is a farce.

The hearing date is set for July 6th at Melville provincial court. I am pleased to say that Mr Murray will be called to give evidence. I will at last have ample oportunity to question him directly.

As part of my case I will be showing the court seven fast and easy methods of converting semi automatic firearms into fully automatic firearms.

Starts 6th July 10am, all are welcome. It should be great fun

Today's the day!

Let's hope the SAS3 builds will see a good faith.

[Mick]

Today's certainly is the day, well it was yesterday at least.

Things got off to an awkward start when I had to object to the crowns witnesses being in court before they had been called to give evidence.

After a while when things eventually started to get going and I revealed what I intended to show in court the judge asked me if I would be willing to have a meeting with the firarms people. I said that I had been trying to talk to them for the past six months but that I had continally been stonewalled, and the only reason we were all in court today was because they would not speak with me. He asked if I would meet with them now if he adjourned the hearing. I stated that I would like nothing better and the hearing was adjourned.

I was able to have a very productive conversation with representatives from the FRT group and the CFR. The end result being that we were able to able to come to a mutually acceptable agreement. I then officially withdrew my application.


What really ****es me off is that this could have been sorted out six months ago with a simple telephone call. What a waste of everyones time.

Anyway all's well that ends well I guess.

PS, I half expected some kind of communication before the hearing, but I did not expect it to happen when I had taken the witness stand.

So, what are the implications of your agreement respecting your Stens? Are they being reclassified as restricted?

[Mick]

We were able to discuss what was acceptable and what was not, and it was determined that gun that I sent in last thursday would make the grade for restricted status.

Well, its going to be a bit of work to rebuild your earlier guns to the newly agreed upon design, but that is preferable to losing them as prohibs.
How is your Suomi affected by all this?

Modifying the stens I have built is not really that big a deal in the scheme of things, the mods are nothing I would describe as major. I am just happy that I will be able to get up and running at last.

The Suomi is toast, but it will rise from the ashes

I have two designs for the suomi both of which I will build. One will look like a suomi but will have different trigger mechanism and a cocking handle like this

Just for the hell of it, the other one will be a hybrid between a sten and a suomi and will look like this
