    Sten MKIII Done!

    Two or more months after finishing my MK3 9mm build with an IO semi auto tube and bolt, I Parkerized it today. Came out pretty nice. I already shot it and it was a good time. Now time to start my 7.62x25 build.

    Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774_1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764

        Outstanding job there Young Feller!
        Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

        I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

        Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

                  semi parts came from http://www.indianapolisordnance.com

                  I think I got the parts kits on gunbroker. I was a while back.

                    How does it shoot?

                    I finished mine and took it to the range to adjust the springs (you have to cut them off until it cycles good).

                    Have you done that yet?

                      shoots very close to point of aim.

                      the recoil spring is uncut, the striker spring I cut enough to install the striker. ran %100 using factory FMJ ammo.

                              Ahh, that makes sense. So I wonder why all of the out of state places that sell the Sten MKIII (or clone) won't sell to California?
