Sten Magazine?

[AmericanKraut]

I just got this Sten magazine from a friend, or at least I think it is for a sten?

Looks like one to me, just sold a bunch of them.

I got this from a friend in NY since they are now illegal there

You most definitely will need a speed loader if you get a chance to use it. The are a pain in the thumb without them!!!!
Nice snag Ben. You can't beat that when you win helping somebody else out when they can't have them anymore. Does it have any letter # markings on it?

Nice unmodified mag for a Sten. If you come across ones with two brass pins through the base they are post war modifications.

Thanks for the info, how does one tell if it is mkII or mkIII?

That's like asking "what's the difference between M16 and M4 magazines." There is no difference; they're the same magazines.

Thanks someone asked me if it was mkII or mkIII, I told them WWII lol. I did not think there would have been but I am not familiar with stens at all
