not an easy fix.you'll occasionally see Mk3's where military armours put a blob of weld on the front trunion to keep the barrel from spinningĪt least you have a quick change barrel option with a Mk2.and they are great hosts for a dedicated suppressor.Mk3's not so much.Įvery high wear part in a mk2 can be found in one of the cheapo Mk3 kits except the ejector. One of the CCF soldiers, shown in this thumbnail, was covering the prisoners with a Sten Mark II.Mark 3's are tougher to find than Mark 2's.either transferrable or pre-mays.but they are also much more poorly constructed.Įvery original Mk3 I've ever seen the barrel would rotate freely in the trunions.they take a battering from the bolt and are held only by rivets and a touch of silver brazing.
