STEN parts kit

[Traveler]

New member here. Did a search, came up blank, so here's my question.

Who sells nice STEN kits?

I am building a semi auto Mk 3 for my son's birthday, so I want it to be nice.

The kit I got has some bad cuts.

Thanks

I'm no expert, but you might ought to get somebody's take on making a semi auto open bolt gun. I think the BATF takes a dim view of that.

Yes, thanks, I understand that. This is a closed bolt. I guess I should have said that to start with. It never occurred to me that someone would assume otherwise.

The IMA kit arived today.

The trigger assembly doesn't look like the other Mark 3. Is it for a Mark 2?

All the other parts look like they are for a mark 3.

Trigger assembly should be interchangable I believe.

those don't look too bad for their age.....All I believe was really different between the 2 and 3 was the covered barrel....and not much else

Thats a MK-II kit receiver / trigger section. The rear sight and double step
in the back is a sure sign of it.
The MK-III kits are usually much better to work w/ but unfortunately about the same as the demilled kit you have.
Good luck on the semi build they are not easily done and a pain in the ass to weld up unless you have a good knowledge of tig welding.

Thanks. I will see if they will exchange it for a Mark 3 trigger assembly.

My welding skills are not the best. Maybe only slightly better than on that trigger assembly. So it will an original look.
