Hind Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Now i've finished some parts of my STEN such a receiver tube - mostly, trigger housing - mostly and magazine housing:) Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Do you make airsoftgun or do you take gas pistol (or some other gun) and make it look like sten OR do you make gun that doesn't shoot BBs? Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 The sten doesnt have cooling holes in the reciever at the front. Thats the sterling. How did you cut the groove for the cocking handle? But keep it up mate, like it. Link to post Share on other sites
Hind Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I'm planning to use a gearbox Ver.1 or a Academy L85 gearbox for my gun, but now I'm couldn't find ones. As for the holes - some models such as Mk.5 has it, and there were a lot of Mk.2 model with a holes in frontset. In Mk.5 - 3 lines of a holes? 6 in a line, in Mk.2 - 2 lines 3 in a line. The grrove for the cocking handle I've did myself with a home reamer machine Phiolent OR30, a metal-work reamer and some wood details. Soon I'll post the images of my machineshop on my balkony:) Link to post Share on other sites
Hind Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Some photos. As you can see a reamer tool consisits of a home reamer, two wood blocks and a polished wood plate. Wood blocks with a screws conbined with a reamer with a space betwwen them as a inner diameter of a receiver tube. The polished wood plate (i've took a peace from abandobed table) uses for the fixing tube with a two screws. It prevent the tube from rotating during the machining. So you put the tube on the plate, fix it with a screws, with a drill make a hole for the reamer and place rhe reamer tool over the tube. With a ahnd you coul move the reamer tool througth the tube to produce the groove you need. Sorry for bad English and not good photos - i've made them with a cameraphome.

Duke Togo Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Where are you planning on putting the motor, mechbox, and finally, the battery? Which model of Sten are you planning? Your only hope would be Mk. V with the wood furniture. Look up the Smokey's Sten kit, for some help about where everything went. This is one of those guns that really has almost nothing to it, hence, nowhere to put the aeg internals. Battery could be external, that's easy, but the motor is only possible with a big AK grip like the Smokey's. A TM UZI using standard mags may work, but they aren't the best performance-wise. A gas version would be "easier" since the need for a motor is gone. I suggest a cheap M11, mags are similar, parts are easilly obtainable, barrel length is similar. Good luck and keep us posted. EDIT: I really need to start one of my own. Link to post Share on other sites
Hind Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I'd want to do an Mk.2 with a wood ar a frame stock - and becouse of that i'm searcheng for a Ver.1 gearbox. I increased the width of a trigger housing so that it now could store a motor and a gearbox. See my Gallery. I've seen Smokeys STEN review and S&S Sten Mk.5, but it isnt't interesting me to do a gun that is in sales. Link to post Share on other sites

Are you going to put some kind of circuit breaker to simulate the sten overheating i read about it on one of the support weapon reviews Link to post Share on other sites

Dithindious Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 The sten version 1 did indeed require a pistol grip however the version 2 which looked the same apart from the wood furniture on the underside of the reciever (for want of a better description) did not. There was however an alternative version 2 made which had the wooden pistol grip your talking about so either ones good. Have a lookClickitylinky also see mark 2 and 3 for cooling holes in the barrel. P.S Your english is very good , better than our Ukrainian Link to post Share on other sites

Mk.1 - Wood furniture on a receiser, ajustable handgrip (honestly it was the only wood cylinder), metal frame stock with a wood furniture, and a funny muzzleend. Mk.2 - the most common of all STEN's serie and one of the most known WW II SMG in the world. Cheaper war model without the furniture, more simpli aiming point. There were a lot of mods of it< but the most common were with the frame steel stock and a T-style steel stock. However were a models of a Mk.2 with a wood rifle stock and even with a frame pistol grip! Don't forget that during WW II STEN's have been producing in every metal machineshop in the Europe. Mk.3 - more cheapet that even Mk.2, uses a STERLIN SMG conception - magazine housing fixed on a receiver and couldn't be removed, all-steel tube receiver without removeng parts. With hi, were armed Paras in the end of a war (according to some autors) Mk.4 - experimental, not in production Mk.5 - the last. Wood stock and a pistol grip, grip on the frontset, improved aiming pints, better gunsmith. British armed forces have used him until late 60s. So you can see tha the pistol grip himself was only on Mk.5/ Guy's Help me get a FaMas gearbox!!!!!! Thanks for a link Bro.

Robot 2000 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 He was asking if the motor for the version one gearbox is in the pistol grip, the answer is no, it's under the gearbox. Link to post Share on other sites
Duke Togo Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 As far as not doing a gun that was for sale. The Smokey's was a very limited run (200) and I only know of a couple outside Japan. The Mk. III with loop stock is my personal favourite. There are plenty of old Famae for sale on here for your mechbox. Link to post Share on other sites
