This is to insure that you are not building an unregistered machine gun. Just remember, to comply with BATF regulations, you must use a tube with a smaller inner diameter than the one the Sten originally used, which also requires the bolt to be turned down. Demilling from a parts kit is probably what I'm looking most forward to, constructive deconstruction. I'm going to buy the parts kit and maybe the receiver tube, and hold off on the 2nd half. It actually sounds like fun, but I don't have the funds to contribute this go around. I haven't seen any buzz for that on this forum, so I thought I'd throw it out there.
