Hello to all, i'm new in this forum, i'm an italian reenactor, i'm building my own 1:1 scale replica of the magnificent Sten mkII. I would know if the original WWII Sten magazine fit on the various Model Gun Sten, thanks in advance.

Hi Mick,
Welcome to the forums
I'm in the process of turning my early Hudson MkII into the suppressed version but the mag well wont take real Sten mags as it's to small I'm not sure about the later production Hudson MkII.
Also I'll check when I get home to see if real mags fit the MGC MkIII

No , real steel mags dont fit the Hudson or MGC Stens although they are close to fitting the CMC MK II Sten.

Welcome to the forums Mick
A steel STEN MkII Modelgun, cap-firing, was produced at one time by UK dealer ModelgunCollector. (www.modelguncollector.co.uk)
Real STEN magazines fit this perfectly. I don't know if this model is being built now, but it may be worth asking them.
You'll find Reviews and Videos of this particular modelgun in the relevant categories here.

Thank you guys, i wrote many times to Modegun collector UK, without results...
Anyone know if they also sell spare parts like magazine wells? This is the last chance, then i'll build a new magazine well!! Real Magazine housings are hard to find, illegal in italy, and too much expensive.
Soon as possible, i'll post some pics of my "creature", note that, apart from some parts like the barrel and the butt housing, all the pieces has been handcrafted with a Dremel!!

Here's a reply I got three months ago:
" Hello and thank you for your enquiry
we are currently working on other projects and do not plan to make another run of stens anytime soon.
