hi
been putting these together over the last few weeks and they are nearly finished so i thought i would stick some pics up. the enfield is vsr based which is easy enough to fit in the original stock but the bolt handle is a bit further forward than it should be. the sten is built around a mp40 gearbox and i have increased the diameter of the receiver to 44mm so that i can get an aug/m60 battery in there. it also uses mp40 mags which have g&p m635 90 rnd internals inside, a bit better than the mp40 45 rnd ones.
cheers

Lovely jubbly!
Can you share how you did the mag placement / bb feed on the sten?
Brilliant, mate.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Well done that man, so good workmanship there, very good.
Cracking stuff! Really liking the No4. Also good to know the G&P 635 internals will go into the MP40 mags.

So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."

It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."

Superb !!, how much work did the Sten take to make, can you do it as a kit?
Nice work, Jay.
How did you attach the stock on the No 4 ?
Well impressed mate!
Free speech is expensive these days!
thanks for the comments guys.
woodlander, i cant take pics of it at the moment as it is at work. i have made the hop unit myself which is a cylindrical shape piece of metal the same size as the i/d of the receiver tube, which then has a small piece of tube coming out sidways into the magwell.
slick63, the sten has not taken too much to make and it would be possible to make some kits in the future, but i have a few more projects that i would want to do first.
chthree, the metal band on the no4 is screwed into the rear of the fore stock and this band has a threaded hole in it, then the butt stock can be bolted to this as per original.
boshman, the g&p m635 mag internals fit into the mp40 mags quite well and all you have to do is drill a hole through the top of the mp40 mag for location. but if you want to use these with the mp40 you will either have to rub down the feed tube on the hop unit or open up the hole on the top of the mag as they do not fit.
will get some more pics up next week.
cheers

oh very nice-particularly the sten please please please do a kit
I couldn't put a kit together, but if you're thinking of making any more, let me know the price.

Cheers - look forward to seeing the photos
found a couple more pics on my phone of the sten.
looks nice Jay, am hoping to make a couple of guns over the next few months. need to buy a TIG welder first though, only have mig and arc in my workshop.

have to admit I would be very interested in a sten.

So it has a working hop that you've made yourself?
Is that a real-deal stock on it?

hi richard
yes i have made the hop and it feeds o.k and has adjustable hop with a screw in the top. the stock is real deal but had to mount it different to the original, so it is bolted on and very sturdy.
jay
cool... it needs sights and a cocking handle
Looking good though! I am envious!
