May I ask where you sourced build parts from? There are still a few affordable sten kits around, but the semi-auto build kits seem kind of $$$ when I've priced them out.
I'd be interested to hear what the malfunctions were, and how they were resolved.
I may build something and thus hope to learn from your experience.
Someone I knew . . . Ok, it was me, shot his first build around a tree as a kid.

For the past few months I've been working on a Mark II Sten and today was test firing day. Honestly I was pretty scared that something was gonna go terribly wrong but it didn't! Just alot of malfunctions for me to work the bugs out of.

I have built several Sten's and helped others with trouble shooting a few unsuccessful builds. The Mark II was my first build. I might be able to talk you threw the issues if you haven't resolved it yet.
