Introduced in 1944, the Mark V STEN replaced the full metal construction of earlier STENs with wood furniture, including a forward pistol grip, and also added a SMLE-style muzzle with protected front blade and lugs compatible with the #9 Mark I socket bayonet. The rear sight is a fixed peep, with the serial number and "Mark V" on the magazine well. The front grip is attached with a swiveling collar in the area of the perforated heat shield, and the trigger housing is welded to the receiver tube with an "R" and "A" selector switch and a varnished wood grip. A tan canvas sling and a #9MkI bayonet are included. Magazine absent.
