Anyone here build a sten??

[Snert]

Just curious if anyone here has built a Sten?? If you have what hangups did you have doing the build? and what to steer clear of.
What reciever did you use?

Just looking to broaden the collection and for some reason these have struck a curious nerve in the thoughts...

I mulled it over for a while, had a kit, sold it for twice what I paid for it at a gunshow.

Going through all the hoops to make it sem-auto and fire from a closed bolt kind of defeated the novelty of the build.

I believe they have an approved ATF build procedure for it.

Check out Weaponeer, lots of build info over there....that's where I did most of my stuff for my 1919 build.

Scroll down to the "Arms Room SMG" section, there is a topic on building Stens with tons of info.
