When I got my Mark II I asked the same question and was told that since pretty much everything came from so many different manufacturers, it was hard to say where or when it as produced.

I found my Laidler book at a gunshow.

Thanks for the info Steve. I will try to file down the loader.

Steve, My weapon functions fine, although once in a while, it won't eject properly. It is the mag loader (repro) I was referring to being so tight it won't fit on the mag down to the stop. If you send me an email address, I will send you the photos. John

My WW2 original Sten does not have a rotating magazine holder. Welded to the firing position. I was able to obtain 2 mags from Keepshooting. My mag loader will not go all the way down to the stop position to even load it. Of course, my mag loader is really tight on original mags too.

They are really sweet looking Michael

Even though I am living in Maryland, I cannot buy these new mags. Some that I already have can be unreliable.

Ah, now I understand. Thanks Bobby

How do they stay on the barrel? I don't remember any type of a catch for it.

I have had some problems also with my STEN. I was advised to try 124 grain ammo, but have not had the opportunity to do so yet. I do not hold it by the magazine, but tend to somewhat rotate the weapon so that the mag is slightly facing downward. Trying to break that habit. I do have 3 mags so that I can switch to a different one if I have to.

Just sent a paypal payment to you. Merry Christmas to all! Somehow, I don't see a Thompson appearing under my tree this year....

Did you get my PM?

Since my Sten is new to me, the other shooters in the TCA club I belong to carry their forms with them and so do I.

$1,000 !!! I thought we had it bad here in the states.

Like Alan David, my question also?
