You went back in time, fabricated a homemade firearm, lent it to an army to use, got it back again and registered it this year? (since this is in the milsurp forum)
Either that or you made a sten (but added a mm onto the barrel...or measured wrong

If any thread deserves to be hijacked, it's this one.
About a week ago I got a new Reg Cert for my L1A1, showing the serial number correction from July 2002.
Glad to see they're on the bit. What did you want for two billion?

It was actually the CFC that told me the barrel lenght, I double checked it later and it is indeed 197mm. Yes it's a sten, an open bolt sten
Any build pictures ??
Did you do anything special to ensure it was not readily convertible ... small ID receiver tube etc ???
Inquiring mind want to know !!
Interesting how Spencer is banned now.
Uh, yep.. WTF happened?

Ask yourselves: If a semi auto, open bolt sten was approved, then why wouldn't he show us the FRT # to verify that? I believe I put it on my sten thread in the very first posting, so that people knew I wasn't dicking around with prohibited material. Or was this gun an open bolt sten registered as a closed bolt sten?
Or you could ask yourself: If a semi auto open bolt sten was approved, then why was a supposedly legal approved gun being sold on CGN by a shill seller from the USA.
And, if neither of those questions made your spider sense tingle, you could ask yourself if you were really comfortable buying guns or gun parts from a guy who seemed to have an endless supply of kits that just aren't normally available in Canada. Or if you were happy buying stuff from a guy who didn't even have the good sense not to post photos and video of himself shooting prohibited or at best restricted guns in his yard. Not to say that this doesn't happen occasionally in Saskatchewan or elsewhere, but that you don't advertise it on an open forum.
I would love for the open bolt sten to be an approved gun, but quite frankly I believe that the open bolt sten simply lends itself to easily be made full auto. For every step you take to prevent it from being so, there is always an equally simple step to make it FA. I have gone through the hoops and steps to get a semi auto closed bolt approved, and that was tough enough. I don't think that getting a open bolt sten approved is going to be any faster.
Of course, your mileage may vary.

I second the above
I PERSONALLY suspect spencer just filled in the registration papers claiming it was a SAS CLOSED bolt sten
the rcmp do not normally hand out a new FRT # for a PROHIBITED class firearm WITHOUT haveing the gun sent to the labs in ottawa
sten collectors gun was there for many months
Ive had a semi auto sub gun in thier for 9 months it was refused classed prohib FA and I will have it corrected and resubmit it
the rcmp have been VERY clear to me that an ORIG DIA tube and ORIG DIA bolt will NOT be accepted
makeing a sten and simply welding the selector to semiauto has been done alot...its called converted automatic and is PROHIBITED
My question was where did all these kits come from? you CANNOT import a prohibited firearm kit with out TONS of paperwork controled goods docterate is involved my import was a paperwork nightmare and i needed end user certs as well
if he was legit why a while back did he state he would NOT submit his gun the the RCMP???
this board has no problems with home built guns but they need to be legal to protect the board and all of the members here

Inquiring minds definitely want to know what you did to that gun to get it registered as such.
Why would you not be allowed? The thing is legally registered, so clearly it is a legal way to build a gun. Come on Spencer, out with the goods. You are the first person to build a registerable open bolt SMG in the country.
