The heartbreak of having and not having

Post by Diomed »

I picked this up at the last SAR East show in May. It was a little shabby then (but a good deal nonetheless) so I had it sent to South Carolina for a rebuild. And there it has stayed, except for a trip out to Arizona so that I could play with it there.

It's been redone in proper British Army fashion - phosphate under a coat of Suncorite 259. No one else in the US offers this service, as the paint is essentially unobtainable due to it being very toxic. The wood has been refinished to HM military's standard, and patched properly as well. The pistol grip on there is Indian but may be replaced by a Brit-made unit once the patching on that one's been finished (they all break, minor design flaw). I've got about two whole sets of spares, also redone and looking gorgeous. There is also a threaded barrel and a bronze bolt for use with a silencer.

She's a pretty one. Not as hot as her younger cousin from Dagenham, but nobody's perfect...

Not having a local transfer dealer means I don't know when I'll actually get to take her home - or even start the process of being able to do so.

Kinda looks like a full auto spear gun.

It's a Sten Mark V.
Sad to say, but I knew this gun from a video game, lol. It was one of my favorites in the game.
