I have finally finished my sten “retro tactical” build. My goal in this project was to create a modern day style of PCC with only things available during WW2. I picked a sten because I’ve always found them quite interesting. I used an Indianapolis semi auto kit (I’m still trying to figure out the spring situation, the directions are not very good and the given spring length is not correct). The sight is actually a period correct sight. I figured with the way that small arms are advancing today with adding reflex/red dot sights and scopes to everything, it would be neat to add one to an older sub gun. The reflex is called the Nydar sight. They were first released in 1945 (right at the end of WW2). It was sold as a shotgun sight. The ring is supposed to be the pattern of shot at 25 yards. I used rare earth magnets to attach it to the receiver. I didn’t want to make it a permanent attachment so this was a good middle ground. It actually stays on pretty tight. There are holes in the bottom base so I bought two magnets that fit perfectly into those two holes. The curvature of the base almost perfectly fits the curvature of the sten tube. I plan on building a crate for it in the future.
