Indianapolis Ordinance Sten parts BEWARE!


Recommended Posts

So I ordered a few IO Sten Pawls, since every other online source is out of stock. I got them yesterday and compared them to the two others I have. The ones I have are very aggressive versus the IO ones. The two I have make a “Click” noise when tightening down the barrel nut where the IO ones is very faint. Also when tightened down all the way the IO backs off easily!! I contacted IO and their response was they make them to spec and the originals they have there. Pretty much I can go fly a kite! To me they’re junk. I’m gonna have to get a Dremel tool and try and hone and shape them to work. Pic below. Original on the left. The two IO’s on the right . Ymmv.

Wow, what a difference between the mil spec original and the IO.  Will IO take them back and give you a full refund?  

I emailed them to ask them that and called them and so far I’ve been ghosted!! So we will see. They claim in their email they make them to spec!!!! I claim BS! Very disappointed!

I sent them the same photos. I was very cordial. Their only response was they make them to spec? I’m thinking whose specs, Joe blow specs?

So sorry to hear this. Jason has always treated me well.

Yeah he has pretty much ignored all my emails.
