Hello all

Received a 2nd hand sten yesterday originally made by warren at S&S. its a mk6 I think with the wood stock and silencer on the end. Its a nice gun but im just not falling in love with it so thinking of selling it on to fund my springfield 1903 project.

Its been re kryloned by the last owner and apart from around the usual spots of wear its in good shape externally, apart from the fact he ran a wire out by the handguard so he could put a battery in the stock. Internally it shoots fine now I've put some blu tac on the side of the winding cap to prevent bb's getting down the side :D though it could probably do with a regrease and maybe a new spring as the previous owner never replaced the spring.

anyway long and short of it is its not perfect but in good nick but i havent a clue what I ought to ask price wise. Can anyone offer a clue? as I dont want to be unreasonable.

Cheers

Rhys

PS sorry if this is in the wrong area didnt want to place it in sales as its not actually for sale yet

that much? lord. well I wouldnt be after quite that much as like i said its not 100% perfect with the wires poking out and the fact its internally stock. pop me a PM glider and lets see if we can sort something out.

I really am gutted that Im not liking it though. what scarier is im liking my mp40 alot more than the sten :shock:

Thats not good, next you will be telling us you practise frog marching in your bed room and when you think nobody is watching at work and making scary faces into the mirror and saying Papers, swinehund.

PM On its way.
