Where is the serial number on a sten mk ii
Elsewhere a deactivated magazine will be sent. This piece includes an original magazine, where permitted. The Mk II was the most widely distributed of the various Sten models, and was featured in numerous motion pictures, including the marquee poster for the great The Bridge On The River Kwai. It includes an intact magazine (where permitted), and is fitted with a very nice original khaki Sten sling. There is an M255 marking on the rear of the loop stock, and the trigger group is actually stamped ENGLAND on the rear left under a proof mark.

There is also the guns serial number, FF54134 and a Broad Arrow.
WHERE IS THE SERIAL NUMBER ON A STEN MK II CODE
The underside is marked with dispersal code S233, which indicates which contractor manufactured it, and possibly the entire gun. The condition is very good, and it is clearly marked with a STEN MkII on the top of the magazine well, along with a small Broad Arrow proof. The trigger still pulls, though the selector and bolt handle do not move, per BATF regulations. Almost all examples we have had previously were built on solid aluminum receivers, but this one actually has the original deactivated tube. It also has the rare and hard to find early model "Loop" butt stock, which was quickly replaced in the field with a sturdier "T" butt stock, which was also carried over to the Mk III. This non-firing BATF approved Sten Mk II is made up of all original parts on a BATF approved re-welded original receiver, and duplicates the feel and appearance of the original Sten Mk II Machine Carbine. Earlier, Otto Skorzeny, the famous head of Germany’s equivalent of Britain’s Commandos, tried hard to get permission to use the silenced version of the Sten for his troops, but his request was rejected on grounds of national-read that as National Socialist-arrogance. Not only was the Sten ubiquitous in movies and among Allied troops, but the German Army, of all people, eventually made numerous copies of it. And how many other war movies do we remember where we remember the MkII Sten but not the actors? Probably quite a few. William Holden holding his MkII Sten and looking very grim. The trigger still pulls, and the magazine catch works perfectly. The original deactivated bolt has been welded into the forward position inside the demilled receiver. It has properly had a portion replaced entirely with solid steel bar stock, and the original barrel deactivated by welding up the chamber. Just purchased from a private collection, this is a very nice British Sten Mk II Inert Display Sub Machine Gun, built from all original parts on an original BATF approved re-welded display receiver. This one does not, and the welds are a little different.Original Item: Only One Available. However- another thing I’ve noticed is most shoulder stocks have a serial.

It’d be a nice project to find the missing parts for already done a search for potential sellers of those pieces. The welds certainly make it deactivated haha fine and legal to own in Canada without paperwork. Not so much a Sten as the skeleton of a Sten. I'm not familiar with Canadian deactivation standards, but it appears they are much more thorough than those in the UK. (EDIT: Just noticed you've already listed the missing parts. It appears to have been spray painted at some point, owing to the even finish and lack of wear and tear. The spring that locks the magazine housing in place is also gone. The handguard is missing, and the trigger group housing is missing its cover. If it is an original example, which it looks like it might be, it's minus a few parts.
