The only part on mine that was from a scrapped sten was the trigger housing and cover, everything else was new.
They do look cheap though.

It's a mad world.
It's my understanding there will soon be a non restricted version which will be priced at under $1500.

Now, czech, you know that simply isn't true. There are a LOT more original Sten parts there than just the trigger housing and cover. Incidentally which of the ones that you show was yours? Those are all newer ones.

Are those pop rivets holding the barrel trunnion and handguard on the mk3 version? Also on the front sight guard of the mk1 mockup??
With a salesman like czechitout on his team, being banned from CGN (and now milsurp's forum too) really doesn't slow old spencer down.

A I or a I*?
Do you think it will be registered and transferable in time?
You decided not to wait for a non-restricted gun?
Wouldn't it be a shorter drive to pick it up in SK, rather than go all the way to MB?
You could even test fire it in his backyard.

A MKI* like in the picture above. It will be a non restricted one, but I will also be getting a standard length barrel with it. That's how I know the barrels are removable. I'm sure it will be built, registered and transferable by next month. They are all approved by the CFC. It's a shorter drive to Brandon as I will be in Winnipeg that weekend, and being non restricted I can test fire it on the way home.
I was at Micks place a few weeks back when he was test firing one of the stens but he just could not get it to work properly, we must have used up at least 500 rounds before he fixed it.

Mine was a MK2, the same as the second pic from the top. Everything but the trigger housing and cover was new. I don't know if the parts were original sten parts or not but I know they were all new.

Having an approved design isn't quite the same as actually having the registration certificate actually in hand.
How are you going to deal with a non-restricted long barrelled gun and an original length barrel that would put the gun into the restricted category if installed? Play silly buggers with the RCMP, getting it verified and reporting a change in classification every time you swap barrels?
Here is a suggestion. Go with a Mk. II or V. One complete gun. One additional magazine housing and barrel. One magazine housing is registered as restricted, the other as non-restricted. Have your cake and eat it too, avoids the problem of ever having a non-restricted firearm with a way-to-short barrel on it.
I want a standard length barrel so I can change the classification at a later date if I feel like it. I also think the gun will be a better investment if I have both barrels.
That's the image that pops into my head when I think Mk IV.
Does the mag housing swing down ?
