Tous les STEN ! Une collection de répliques non tirantes

It's a series of tubes! A collection of replica STEN guns.

Included marks are:

• Mark I
• Mark I*
• Mark II
• Mark III
• Mark V

They are available separately on my profile if you only want an individual model.

After I started this project Forgotten Weapons handily made a series of videos basically covering all the main STEN guns. I have made the action compatible with all marks, so you only need to print those parts once. Also included are options for the charging handle button safety for the Mk II & III. This set has 4 different charging handles, 5 different stocks, and 4 different trigger mechanism covers. Note that the Mark V only takes 2 different stocks.

Please check the laws in your country regarding replica firearms.

The assembly video had problems and was unusable. There is a demo video available, linked below. Be aware that these were test prints and there have been cosmetic changes to a more realistic appearance. I also lost the footage of the Mk III for the demo.

These designs prioritised ease of printing, whilst still keeping the build experience as authentic as possible. Your printer must be able to print to within 0.1mm. The whole thing is designed for PLA, I used esun PLA+. Minimum recommended build volume is 220x220x250.

To make this safer for people to print, the barrel is solid, the chamber is profiled to a different size, and there is no firing pin. I have also modified the surfaces for all barrels.

I decided to design with the intention of using either standard or easy to source springs. I have used amazon as it is available in most countries. Instructions do include simple specs for springs if you are so inclined to make your own. They're linked below.

You’ll need flathead screwdrivers and also a knife or file for removing the burr. Gel superglue can be used, and is what I used, but epoxy is recommended.

There are minimal s, and where there are s, they're in places that are easy to fix the scarring and should not interfere with any critical dimensions.

All parts are orientated. Or they should be.
