Nine hole Mk5 Sten barrel nuts

[Vincent]

Fantastic information, gentlemen. Thank you.

A bead blast, phosphate and coat of baked on Suncorite will make it look good as new.

Did you get this barrel nut on it's own, Vincent, or in with a "Parts Kit"?

I hadn't realised that a number of Stens including Mk5s came out of the Royal Palace in Nepal until I purchased the book "Treasure is where you find it", a week or so ago. The pictures in the book look interesting and I'm sure it will be a good read too. I had incorrectly assumed that the dealer who purchased the items from the Royal Armoury in Nepal had not obtained anything as modern as a Sten.

It was on its own.
