Thread: Pump Action STEN MKII

seems the biggest hurdle to overcome is getting approval to manufacture it in NZ. seems the fix is getting it made in china and having it submitted to the police for approval. design improved......cocking not only loads but resets the trigger and firing pin is floating. bolt is locked by sear during fire. firing pin is attached to a carrier ala UZI model B carbine. Heck! there's another idea!.........even simpler......a pump action UZI carbine! all you need to do is attach the bolt to the handguard which locks upon cocking and eliminate the recoil spring!

If you do get it made in China then be prepared for a norinco or Ali express special popping up quickly

I maunfactured a semi auto sten and submitted it to the police several years ago. After 6 months it came back as a big no with the excuse "people will fit orig parts to make it an auto gun" even though it had been modified to prevent that. And that is the stock answer that police will always give on toys like this. They dont want them in the public domain.
