Description:

One of the signature Commonwealth weapons of WWII, the STEN was largely constructed from tube steel and metal stampings, a significant departure from the previous generation of beautiful but expensive SMGs, giving the Allies a light, effective, and inexpensive close-quarters weapon. Blade front and peep rear sights, with the model marking on top of the magazine well and "H.F & CO. LTD" and the serial number on the underside, with a full black finish, "R" and "A" marked selector switch on the trigger group and a half-tubular fixed buttstock. Inter-American's import marking is present on the underside of the tube. Magazine absent.

Rating Definition:

Good, with 60% of the refurbished blue finish, showing areas of brown and gray patina, scattered scratches and mild handling marks. Mechanically fine. NOTE: This weapon is a restricted, National Firearms Act (NFA) Class 3, Fully Automatic Weapon, that is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
