I see some nice work.
But what the hell is wrong with the government?
I have a original MKII. If it cut, remanufacture & weld it dies it really
change anything? It's a lot of work to apize some idiot now nothings!
It sounds like if I made a Mac 10, I could register it, but not another new one.

We should still be able to shoot them!
It's just plain stuidity shoved up us by windy Wendy & comrad Kim!
Makes me wonder why I served in the army? FOR WHO'S FREEDOM???

Well, the CFC and RCMP have ma de a ruling - and I'm certainly NOT going to let it stop me from using the regs to maximum advantage.
The alternative is no Sten fun. And I don't like that alternative, so... my BD38 will soon have a new playmate.

The whole idea if I reman a part for my gun will make it safer is rediculas.
It does alter the collectors value,
But hey. if works , go for it.
The rules were made by idiot's anyways!

No collector's value altered here - look up higher in this thread for a pic of the kit I'm robbing for parts. It's a 1970's Canadian Army LB Sten that was torch-cut completely in two when dewatted and left to rust for a while before being sold as scrap
If anything, I'm SAVING it.
More pics for Klunk's viewing pleasure...
Facing off in the mill:

I agree with you totally.
What I meant was, If I alter my original intact sten I will alter the collectors value of it!
I've seen some beautiful work on here.

Actually a MK2 with a fake silencer would be a lot more historically accurate. There was never a suppressed MK3.
Actually from the historical aspect, the SOE Sten MkII(S) was fitted with a semi-auto only selector any way.
The CISA long type silencer as used by the SOE was 22-1/2" x 2-1/4"
The standard selective MkII(S) silencer was 12-3/4" x 1-1/2"

I still don't have the SAS3 kits, so other stuff is being done in the meantime.
The SAS3 design precludes using the push-through safety MkV cocking handle, so we're going to go with MkII handles. Now, nobody who is sane would chop an original MkII handle, so we are making exact copies for the two MkII guns being built (one a restricted LB, the other is a non-restricted Brit sten with dummy silencer for those who are keeping track).
Here's some work on the handles, the bases are left fat so they can be individually fitted to the bolt bodies when they arrive.
Knurling tools are GREAT:
Voila!
For comparison with a real (and rare) early war MkII cocking handle:

I think that a Sten magazine is sufficiently larger than most pistol magazines that an adapter could be fitted into the magazine housing to accept pistol magazines. That might be preferable to a dedicated magazine housing. Because of the interpretation that the magazine housing is the receiver, it might not be practical to have magazine housings for different magazines.
