Video of Monda's FMP kit could end up being a bigger let-down for fans than Madbull's KRISS, but who knows?

The Sten, to our disgrace, is just a springer; on www.asguns.com

Anyone know how to order from this site or is it just for wholesalers?

Springer

[BigAl]

Springer or not, would look good on the wall next to a Viva MKII.

[chas]

Too bad but yes: its in the "spring shotguns" section.

Springer

yup, thats some epic fail

[Fullauto]

Should be noted that's not a mk2. However, springer or not, it could be a useful base for a conversion...

Cyma CM046 - Supposedly a AK-47 type 3 with a Version 9 gearbox (you can even see the blowback picture on the box cover.)

Here's a video from way back when it was being tested out:

NICE! I looked through the site but didnt spot that.

The blowbacj feauture in that vid looks pretty good, bolt doesnt go all the way back, but it always ends up in the closed position, same as their MP5 EBB series. Hopefully theyll make an EBB AKMS and an AIMS soon.

EDIT: I just remembered that site has had an AIMS for ages, so onlySatan knows when we wil get that or the new Cyma AKs.

It's a MKIII (which was a even more simplified version than the MKII) which is why I said it would make a nice wall hanger to go alongside the Viva MKII.

Doesn't look that way to me...

More footage of the blowback AK. Could really use a 9.6 intellect or something, as the firerate is a tad low.

Aye, got a book on stens on my shelf mate (incidently, excellent book - http://www.collectorgrade.com/bookshelf6.html, really well written).

On further investigation, the image seems to have been poached for elsewhere:

Perhaps it is a sten mk2 after all?

Even if it is just a springer I'd be tempted as has been said maybe a project to make it an AEG. But depends if they are readily available and price (Shoudln't be any more than £40 for a springer and thats pushing it).

[BigAl]

Definately a MKIII, note how the receiver tube extends further down the barrel than on a MKII.

Edit: was tempted by that book till I saw the price, more than it cost to make a few STEN's in WWII!

And the seam along the top of the receiver.
