#STEN MARK 2 FORUM SERIAL#
Have a look on the underside of the sight and see if there is a serial number. mark 3 only way the mag well will really work is welded, fortunately the ejector is part of. Mag well on a mark 2 isnt secured anyways, but the ejector is welded, no other way.

The mark 2 barrel collar you could probably get away with screws, mark 3 screws/rivets for the barrel not a big deal. Thank you all for the information about my sten - very interesting.īeing a Union of South Africa rifle theres a good chance that the barrel and therefor rear sight are from another rifle. I doubt you can build a sten without some welding. I took advice from this forum when I wanted to buy one few years back and followed the advice and finished up with a really nice SMLE with lots of 'patina', knocks, a couple of strange threaded holes in the woodwork which may have housed an extra sight (?), also marked with the Union of South Africa mark which is of interest to me because I visit Deville Wood every year as part of my annual study of the Somme area near it. My SMLE Mk III* 1917 doesn't have a magazine cut off nor any slot for it which I understand was on the MKIII but omitted on the Mk III* but it does have 'windage adjustment' on the backsight so is a bit of a hybrid between MkIII and MKIII*. Images of me by the Memorial at St Germain by the river, where two Maquis were captured, beaten (to give the names of their members) then taken to the river and executed by German firing squad.one was 19 years old the other 35.Just being curious, but has your SMLE got the magazine cut off? I, is a British submachine gun developed in the early 1940s. This is fully UK/ EU deactivated and has the history with it.A great gun and used as can be seen due to age and wear by the FFI.Vive La Maquis.!!! It would fit into the notch in the top of the Mk5 barrel collar. But Im sure that there would be to hold your Mk5 barrel upright. If there is not a pin from the top then you are golden. All NFA rules apply - Visit Frank Iannamico's website to purchase 'The British Sten Manual'. Pull your MkV barrel off and look from the front. Thread title: From: Last replied: Now searching.

#STEN MARK 2 FORUM HOW TO#
where they met to discuss the next attack, it seems as I was told, that a German "Rassage" took place as they were denounced to the enemy, so the warning went from the look-out to the farm, and they all scattered and hid or took their weapons, to save them being captured and tortured by the Germans and Gestapo. I will warn that the STEN isn’t a cheap build as you probably be spending over 500 bucks to convert it to semi-auto (80 receiver, 190 barrel, 35 front trunnion, 280 semi auto bolt, 200 tax stamp for sbr) and you’ll need to know how to do some welding. It was mentioned that this was the local Maquis / FFI.H.Q. This was found in a French farmhouse barn tucked into the roof and well covered over, not found until the farmer decided to put a new roof on about 10 years ago. This is my WW2 Sten MK2.Dropped by a Liberator in 1944 by Parachtage / container, with many more arms, ammo and cigarettes(the Maquis up in their mountain hideout were desperate for tobacco, so they got the SOE agent and wireless operator to message England as to what they needed and desperate for). The Ardeche Maquis were Courageous and Brave in their fight against the enemy, with all out battles, and for blowing up telegraph lines and communications, railway tracks and trains carrying supplies to Normandy.
