Side feed for vertical feed Sten?

[pullnshoot25]

I am thinking of building myself a Sten but I am thiking I want to go for a vertical feed instead of side feed.

What say you, fellow Calgunners?

defiantly can be done and isnt any more difficult that building a horizontal feed one, you can buy a semi auto tube set up to have a vertical mag and also buy a new-semi auto vertical bolt. good luck with your build i love mine there fun guns to shoot.

also apex has sten kits for 60 bucks if you didnt already know

but that would make it vertical eject and i would expect the brass to all end up down your collar sliding down your back

Better than having to pick up the brass off the ground....just keep your shirt tucked in.

In the link provided in the 2nd post, they have a semi-auto bolt configured for bottom feeding and you standard ejection at 2 o'clock.

bottom feed bolt:


standard STEN side feed bolt.
