kevin powles Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Gents, Does anyone know the length of the screw on type silencer for the sten, I need to know the length, not including the screw and rachet part. I have heard a dimension of 12 3/4" but not sure if this is the complete length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatchFuzee Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Dosen't this post from the site contain the dimensions that you need? Posted: Jan. 13 2010, 12:49 ET There were a number of models of wartime suppressed Mk II Stens, although the 2 main ones are: Carbine, m/c Sten, 9mm Mk2(S) - A MkII Sten that utilises the 12 & 3/4 " long x 1 & 1/2" OD - Mk2(S) - {S = special purpose) silencer (drawn steel tube) and canvas "Sleeve, thermal' and horsehair liner pad handguard - (trickyrick posted a pic of this variant) The SOE (Special Operations Executive) type that utilised the 22 & 1/2" x 2 1/4" OD - CISA silencing unit -that attaches to the casing (Brit Mil. nomenclature for 'receiver') by the barrel nut AND a springloaded uni-directional ratchet plate which is fixed to the right hand side of gun, just ahead of the MkII magazine housing by a 3/32" screw. There are some great pics of the latter in Pete Laidler's Sten book that I can scan if they are of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
