Is that a Welrod?

Very cool 

Any more pics or info on it?

It's an open bolt Mk1* built using a Mk2 trigger housing.  The trigger housings are the same.





I have made quite a few Sten guns of various types

That's awesome!

[Justin Hell]

Nice!
That looks like a lot of fun!

[Cupid]

They are great fun but the cops don't seem to like them much.   They tried to stop me making them.

[Larry D.]

So....what's the problem?

So....what's the problem?

The problem was that they said they could easily be made fully automatic in a very short time, they made the video to show that.

When I challenged them in court they had a change of mind and said I could make them anyway IF I dropped my challenge to their ruling.  I agreed to drop the challenge and have been happy ever since. I think they expected me to show up with a lawyer but I did it with my missis as my assistant. I have a good and knowledgeable woman.

Cupid, are you the "old codger" in the first picture?

If so, I'd like more info on the one hanging on the wall in the background.

[Cupid]

Yes that's me.... The rifle on the wall behind me is a Remington Rolling Block. .43 Spanish.

It would appear that you have to make another thread for that one.

There's a bunch of us that really enjoy the older stuff.

I hardly ever shoot that, I prefer Sniders.

OK, now I'm getting envious.
