Only these screws ? Seems you never saw a genuine Sten Mk 5 ! The barrel isn't the original one, nor the stock and the magazine, and probably also the feeder. Nearly half of the gun has to be replaced with original parts. Too much for me !
@@laurentdevaux5617 I also noticed the swivel screws were replaced by modern Phillips self tapping screws but didn't mention them in my comment. But overall you have to give it to the guy he did a good restoration job. After all he restored what he had. No more no less.
Many of the older SMGs were cloned in places like China and Vietnam. Some were very crude. Others like this one were surprisingly well made. Very often the magazines were original because there were so many of them around they were easy to find.
@@Restoration_vala If it's a WW2 piece, and given the fact it has been brought back by your own grandfather, which is a plus, it really deserves to be restored with genuine parts. Hope you can do it someday !
It's indeed a very interesting clone of the otiginal Mk V. The loader is totally baionnetdifferent and it lacks the original Lee-Enfield nail baionette support.
The barrel isn't original, much too long. The feeder with its grooves is strange, the stock is a modified Lee Enfield stock, and the magazine isn't military
@@lapillul It can't be a MP40 magazine, you can't use it on a Sten, as welle as you can't use a Sten magazine on a Sten. The two magazines have different dimensions. This one is a pure joke, most probably civilian
Superbe ? Surtout quand il n'y a que la moitié des pièces qui sont d'origine ! Cette Sten a soit été modifiée pour le marché civil, soit elle était incomplète et le gus qui l'a reconstituée ne connaissait rien. On fait un petit tour ? Le canon n'est pas bon, celui d'origine est plus court et a des tenons de baïonnette comme sur le Lee Enfield Mk 4 (et pour cause, c'est la même baïonnette pour les deux armes), la crosse n'est pas bonne, c'est sûrement une crosse de Lee Enfield trafiquée (sur la bonne crosse, l'anneau de bretelle est sur le dessus, pas en dessous), le couloir d'alimentation est plus que louche avec ses rainures, que je n'ai jamais vu sur une Sten) sans parler qu'il ne semble avoir aucun marquage de modèle (tous les couloirs de Sten sont marqués), et le chargeur relève de la plus haute fantaisie (sur la Mk 5, c'est le même chargeur que sur les autres Sten, sans ces rainures à la mords-moi le nœud et ce levier ridicule). Je pourrais rajouter la poignée pistolet que je ne sens pas trop et d'autres choses, mais je préfère m'arrêter là, ça serait trop long. Bref, ça risquerait de coûter bonbon pour la remettre dans son état d'origine !
Good job, though this weapon needed more a deep cleaning than a true restoration, as it was in a rather good condition. However, there are many things I don't like on this SMG, which has clearly been altered someday and somewhere (who commited this massacre, I'd really like to know...). I will only mention the most prominent problems : first, the barrel isn't the original one, this one is much too long and doesn't seem to have the bayonet lugs it should have ; second, the feeder looks strange, I've never seen this kind of circular grooves on a Sten feeder, which also should have markings of the model ; third, the stock is clearly not the good one, it's probably a Lee Enfield modified stock (on the Mk 5, the sling swivel is above, not under...), and fourth, the magazine is clearly a joke, a thing made for the civilian market. I also have doubts about the pistol grip... In my opinion, this weapon was uncomplete and has been reassembled with spare parts not belonging to this model. Or it has been modified for the civilian market. But as it is, it can't be a Sten Mk 5 as used in 1944-45
@@johnhaylett3643 As I didn't see this weapon personnaly, I won't say if it's a whole copy. But given the fact that a Sten is very easy to make, it's possible... My opinion though is still that some parts are genuine
@@Restoration_vala Indeed ? Then maybe one of them was better... sorry to insist, but this one has been heavily modified. The barrel is much too long to be genuine (and it hasn't the bayonet lugs either) as I already wrote. The stock isn't the good one, it has been replaced too, as well as, most probably, the feeder. No Sten feeder ever had these kind of grooves, and all are clearly stamped with the designation of the model. Check a little on the upper side, if there's nothing, then beware. Anyway, the grooves make me doubt it's the original
Agreed, this is most likely a copy made in the Darra region. It's one of the better efforts of its type, and you have to admire the skill of the gunsmith that made this from measuring up and original and just by looking at pictures. It is some skill to possess.@@laurentdevaux5617
Im going to watch this video like I do all other "Restoration" (which USUALLY means *DESTRUCTION*) videos. I will instantly stop watching when you use any kind of abrasive or any kind of chemical other than boiling H2O to remove that rust. If you strip the gun down then boil every single part you pull off of it in water then you will be converting all that ferric oxide into BLUING and will thereby be conserving and restoring. if otoh you use a wire wheel or chemicals to remove the rust then you are utterly incompetent to restore any firearms of historical value even if they are of no monetary value. YUP, Just what I thought, COMPLETELY LOSER with NO KNOWLEDGE on how to restore a firearm. DO NOT RECOMMEND CHANNEL has just been earned... AGAIN

Thanks for watching ♥️
👌🏼 thank you for saving this old workhorse from the scrap heap 👏🏻
If you want a complete video on wood/stock finishing type yes and I'll post it.
Thank you
Yes
Great restoration. I would have looked for original screws fixing the upper to the lower receiver. However the overall finish looks great. Good job!

@@laurentdevaux5617 probably a Khyber Pass modified one.
@@farrp024 I agree with you, he did a good job with what he had... But what a pity this weapon has been massacred like that !
why replace the flathead screws for the philips {crosshead} screws to the strap mount on the stock?
Muy buen trabajo.....Felicitaciones!!
and what about the firing test?
9x19 ammo is still in stock
For a so called rusty weapon it comes apart to easy, no penitrating oil on any screws or anything else.
Another know nothing insinuating its a fake vid. Just say what you think and have the courage of your convictions.
very good video,thank you.😃
Really good restoration 👍👍👍👍💯%
This appears to be a home grown copy of the STEN MK5 not original British manufacture Very interesting piece. Nice
Possibly made by N Z Railways workshop.
nice find!...i would have that one humming with a drill/wire wheel and a can of ballistol...
Whatever that is,it is definitely not a British made mkv ,my guess is Indonesia.
Based on the newspaper, mine is Pakistani.
Awesome restoration! 😎👍
Thanks! 👍
Phillips head screws?
Many of the older SMGs were cloned in places like China and Vietnam. Some were very crude. Others like this one were surprisingly well made. Very often the magazines were original because there were so many of them around they were easy to find.
Where do you get all these rusty firearms to restore??
I think that was the best cold bluing I've ever seen. Pity there was no test firing.
I really like the way Sten guns look
Sure. But provided that the weapon is genuine. On this one, nearly half of the parts need to be replaced by good ones !
Since this is a world war piece so it's gonna start in genuine form
@@Restoration_vala If it's a WW2 piece, and given the fact it has been brought back by your own grandfather, which is a plus, it really deserves to be restored with genuine parts. Hope you can do it someday !
Awesome
Good, but if would've been better if test fire's done.👍
It's indeed a very interesting clone of the otiginal Mk V. The loader is totally baionnetdifferent and it lacks the original Lee-Enfield nail baionette support.
What kind of spring is used on this rifle and where can i get one??
Beautiful 😊
Very interesting "device" made of different part. I would be very interesting to know its history (esp. where and when did it come from).
Шикарная работа!!!
Are som of the trigger parts still supposed to be a little? Rusty??
NOT ORIGINAL british SMG , sure is KHYBER PASS smg, but nice work !
Does it shoot?
formidable emmision😂
Good
Can you shoot it after you have Restoring. It would be fun to see if it works.
If this gun is from the war years, 80years or so, then it's in very good condition.
That STEN Mk.V appears to be missing its bayonet lugs on the barrel.
Yes and the barrel looks to long an thats a mp40 magazine
The barrel isn't original, much too long. The feeder with its grooves is strange, the stock is a modified Lee Enfield stock, and the magazine isn't military
@@lapillul It can't be a MP40 magazine, you can't use it on a Sten, as welle as you can't use a Sten magazine on a Sten. The two magazines have different dimensions. This one is a pure joke, most probably civilian
@@laurentdevaux5617 yeah probably the reason why there's no bayonet lugs
Rear stock looks like a smle, mabey mk 3.
It looks like a gun which has been made to look rusty🤔
Автор,чем вы смазывали деревянные детали?
Sir use wood sealer at first then when it dries use boiled linseed oil twice and let it dry.

I thought Stens didn't have wood in the stock, i thought it was just bare metal?
only mk5 had wood
@@med1273 thanks for clarification
in the U.S.A, in 1980,s kits were 50.00 all you wanted mk3. mk2 mk5
Atış yapmalıydın.. Video eksik kaldı.
Very Rusty? Dont think so, a bit of wd40 & it would be good as new
That’s not a sten mk 5 but a clone out of nowhere .
