Restoration of Rusty STEN Mk2 Submachine Gun

Today we're taking care of an old rusted STEN Mk II coming straight from WWII. It was recovered in a basement while the house was being renovated, and so I had the opportunity to take a close look and do a test fire. However, before doing any of that I needed to do a conservative restoration, which is what this video is all about. In seven days from the publish date you'll find here the link to an in depth video on the English sten gun and the history and technology of this particular specimen.
