It would be easy enough to try a different barrel, see if that affects zeroing.
I tried another barrel - same result. Would seem to conclude that the problem lies with the trunnion.

Make no mistake, we had part of the rifle team that specialized in SMG. They could accomplish fantastic things with a SubGun. The Sten would be no different, I owned a LB 1943 issue and it was fine. My Thompson's were great too. I hit the 200 yd steel gong first try with a shoulder fired MP38 on single rounds.
I just don't see the point in guys getting too wrapped around a lack of accuracy in a particular SMG...
I agree completely, but in this case I'm seeing a definite diversion from the norm when I compare with other Stens of the same mark....
