Manufactured using a receiver tube from Douglas Laurence Oefinger of Stanford, Connecticut, and a selection of military surplus components, this is an excellent example of the Mark II STEN submachine gun. One of the signature weapons of World War II, the British STEN was a lightweight, compact and efficient CQB weapon for both conventional military operations and resistance units across Europe. Blade and peep sights, with DLO markings on the trigger housing, Belgian proofs on the barrel shroud, "RTL" stamped on the underside of the magazine well, "30808" on the bolt and a broad arrow on the cocking knob. Operation is open bolt, with selector button on the housing. One piece metal buttstock, with cleaning rod.
