Came across these on the Canadianicon ‘Collectors Source’ website:

It occurred to me that these might be of interest to UKicon owners of post-1995 deactivated Stens as they would make one externally visually correct and would correctly hold the cocking handle and return spring. Inserting the important caveat that you would have to cut a chunk out of them that corresponds with the piece of original bolt welded across the ejection port.

There is however the question of importation into the UK. They should be fine in theory as they are not and never have been functional firearm components + AFAIK the VCR Act doesn’t apply to the components of replica guns, only complete ones.

BUT what’s your average HMRC functionary going to think if they open the packet..?
