Idk probably that or something. They literally built sten's out of scrap metal and bedsprings

Nothing crazy, lel, maybe just a .380 or 9mm

I don't have any need for one though. My ar suits me well enough

Considering trying a binary trigger but idk about the reliability

Aren’t stens stupid simple to build?

^

Yes. But stupid easy to fuck up

Soldiers literally built them in the field

Like legit the parts kids are stupid cheap

And receiver blanks with jigs are like $20

Sometimes they like to dump the mag on full autist mode if you bump them too hard or set them down

Damn, how fucked did a brit have to be to do that?

@Artemis

-implying a homemade machine pistol would be any better

Lol k

They couldn't manufacture enough, and some were so shitty that the soldiers could do a better job

Mine takes Glock mags.

They made over 4 million in wwii

*but does it take Glock mags*

Not as cheap as when they had the mk2 kits

But 🤷‍♂️

@TonyB yes. You just have to screw down the set screw.

Well shit

It will take just about any mag with a little manipulation

NOT well. But it can

It'll take folded sheet metal with a piece of bed spring in it

Also supposedly weighs 7 pounds unloaded

Chonk

Not as chonk as the Thompson i guess

Hey, if it goes pew pew pew

I’ve wanted to do a 80% sten build cause even if they’re shit I’ve always had a thing for them

Like those and eastern bloc shit have always just had that second kind of cool for me

Fuck what everyone says dude. Build what you wanna build.

I've never touched a CNC mill before. Is it a matter of plugging in a file like a 3d printer?

For a sten you mean?

Sten is more bending sheet metal and welding

I mean for an 80% ar15

Don't wanna pay money just to find out I'm too dumb to use the CNC mill lol

With the right program. Yes. But I’m no expert on a cnc
