SubGunSam Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Ive locally found a Sten Mk II tube that the seller states is an ERB tube. He states its uncut. Ive not heard of ERB selling tubes before. He also has a sterling MK4 that is built on a Sten tube according to the f4, but has the proper Sterling Cocoking Slot. Im interested in both guns, And Im aware of the Stenling conversions. Is this common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madkiwi Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 I purchased an in-the-white unbuilt Charles Erb MP40 receiver last year. If he did those, he most likely did Sten tubes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Stenlings seem to sell for $2,000 less and take longer to sell Only buy the sten tube if its cheap enough. When complete stens are $6,000-6500 id think the tube alone would have to be $3,000-3500 for it to be worth the trouble Not a bad thing to have a fresh gun built by the smith of your choosing and to get a warranty from him. Just dont pay extra for the trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huggytree Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 my sten was $6300 and appears to have been unfired since it was built. Spending $6850 means that buyer will have a $9000 sten that is worth $6,000 tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
