wwl Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 How hard is it to find a C & R Longbranch STEN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 About as hard as it is to find ANY C & R Sten. They are somewhere between uncommon as hell and Rare! I would guess that 90 - 95% of the privately owned/transferrable Stens are tube guns. Sarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoscoeTurner Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I was in the Sten market last summer, of the six finalists found on Subguns and Sturm in a two week period two were C&Rs. I ended up buying an Erb tube gun mainly because of the $2000-2500 difference in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye_Joe Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I still kick myself for passing on a $2400.00 Erb Sten two years ago. It hit me just at the wrong time when I needed the funds to buy a really nice Harley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 smoker Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have a Longbranch MKII with the Chinese markings pictured on page 138 of Laidler`s book...this is a York `tube` gun...years ago the scuttlebut was that many tubes were original and just remarked by this manufactorer...so this maybe an unofficial C&R STen...Frank I. shows a good closeup but has the caliber conversion to 7.62x25 mm as well.
