I saw an article last year about building a legal semi Sten.  Shotgun News?  I don't save the issues I buy, so I can't look.  But, if I remember right he built a receiver and bolt undersize so the full-auto bolt wouldn't fit and altered the FGC to semi only and had it fire from a closed bolt.  All other parts were stock Sten.  

Disclaimer:  My memory is fallible and I could have easily be mistaked in the above.  However, what I do remember is that it didn't seem overly difficult if you have access to a lathe (a mill would be helpful, but not necessary)

they were designed to be cheap and easy to produce.

Supposedly just a bit over $10 each when production was in full swing.  In 1941 gas was 19 cents per gallon.  So, a Sten gun was about the same cost  as 50 gallons of gas.  Unleaded her today is about $2.50 so, yes I'd buy a new Sten 9mm carbine for $125!

Too bad oppressive law makes that impossible.

you guys remember the story about the girl who got lost while she was drinking???  We picked up her friend, but couldn't find her??

Talked to her today, said she fell down, some guy found her and helped her.  She slept on his couch, nothing happened.  I call BS, but she isn't gonna admit to anything.  Well, anyways, she's into black guys...  Mentioned she was going to vote for Obama just because he is black.

Wowzers.

Happens all the time little buddy.  Rich people don't get rich on accident.

At Chuck's, we got an email one day.  We had to order all of our light bulbs from one vendor.  Every Chuck E Cheese's all over the nation, ordered every light bulb from one place.  They gave us a little deal, and agreed to stock all of the weird little bulbs we needed.  To give you an idea, in my average sized store, I was spending $400 a month on light bulbs.

The guy who sent down the email, was on the board of directors, well invested, part owner of the corporation, probably owned 25% of the stocks.  So, standardizing ordering, standardizing bulb types, locking in pricing, getting us a small discount were all great things for the company.  Part of the deal he struck though, was that he got a nickel for every bulb we bought from this company.

Thats how you get rich.  Got to make money in ways that don't eat up your time.  Sure you can work all day, but even if you make $50 an hour, you'll never get rich.

nothing wrong or illegal about it.  What if you could save your company and your driver's $10 on every tire they bought.  And, the tire company was so happy to get your business, they were willing to give you a rebate check every month for $5 for each tire...

You'd do it wouldn't you?

oh, BTW, when you get that deal going, I want $1 out of your $5.
