Description

Sten MK2 – 9mm

Includes 1x 32 round magazine.

The Sten Mk II is one of the most iconic submachine guns of World War II, widely used by British and Commonwealth forces. Designed for simplicity and ease of mass production from tube and simple metal stampings, the Sten Mk II became famous for its minimalistic design and low manufacturing costs, which allowed it to be produced in vast quantities during the war. The weapon was designed by Major Reginald V. Shepherd and Harold Turpin, with the name “Sten” derived from their initials and “Enfield,” where the weapon was first manufactured.
One of the key features of the Sten Mk II is its ability to be easily disassembled and reassembled, making it easy to transport and conceal. This characteristic made it a favorite among resistance groups and special operations forces. The side-mounted 32-round magazine, while a bit awkward, allowed for a compact profile when prone and was relatively quick to reload. The Sten Mk II was used in numerous theaters of war and remained in service with various military forces well into the post-war years.

This example includes evidence of the fine hammer fitting common with such rapid and urgently produced weapons in wartime. She aint pretty but she burps like a champion.
