wanted Mk2 Barrel Nut for a MkV Sten Gun

[Enfield1940]

Looking for a Mk2 barrel nut - the type factory fitted to the MkV Sten gun. It had a different arrangement of cooling holes to the Mk1 barrel nut (as factory fitted to the MkII Sten gun) due to the position of the foregrip attachment ring. There's a picture of one here:

Would ideally like to source one from within the UK or EU.

 

 

Thanks,

I think that's the later Mk5 nut, the earlier nut had the rows of holes but they had the same number, ie 2 rows of 6 where as the later had one row of 3 and one row of 6 at the front. The mk2 had 3 rows of 3.

 

you would need the earlier type for wartime mk5s. You could of course convert a mk2 into a mk5 if need be.

Hi Mark,

 

Chris is right; the barrel nut on the MKV has equal holes on each side. Here's a picture of my wartime MKV (zoom to see the barrel nut):
