Own a professionally built Semi-Auto STEN MK5 inspired by one of the most iconic WWII-era firearm platforms ever produced. This is not a mass-produced firearm — each build is individually hand-assembled, fitted, inspected, and test-fired by a licensed Type 07 FFL manufacturer at Sam’s Arms Repair. Due to the labor-intensive craftsmanship involved, only a limited number of builds can be completed at a time, making availability extremely limited.
The photos shown are preview examples of completed builds and represent the overall appearance and quality of the final product. Every STEN is built to order and can be tailored to the customer’s preferred configuration, including rifle, pistol, or NFA SBR setup with approved paperwork where applicable.
Unlike rushed kit builds or generic reproductions, each firearm is carefully tuned for reliability, proper magazine fitment, smooth bolt travel, safe semi-automatic operation, and authentic handling characteristics true to the original platform. Every build is professionally inspected and function tested before shipment to ensure reliability and safety.
Available customization options may include:
• MK2 or MK5 style furniture
• Barrel length preferences
• Sling setup options
• Finish preferences
• Compliance configurations depending on local/state laws
• Magazine setup preferences
Customers who may be new to STEN builds or parts sourcing will be guided throughout the process. If needed, we can assist in identifying exactly which parts/components are required and can point customers toward reputable sources for obtaining the necessary parts kits and components. Communication is maintained throughout the build process to ensure the final contiguration matches the customer’s intended setup and expectations.
Current turnaround time is approximately 6–8 weeks depending on production queue and parts availability. Build slots are limited and demand for professionally built STEN platforms continues to increase due to the amount of specialized labor and fitting required for proper assembly.
This firearm ships to your FFL dealer. NFA configurations such as SBR setups require approved ATF paperwork before transfer. Customer-supplied parts/components may be used depending on build arrangement and consultation prior to purchase.
The STEN MK5 remains one of the most recognizable wartime firearm designs ever produced and continues to attract collectors, historical firearm enthusiasts, and shooters looking for a professionally built semi-automatic reproduction with authentic appearance and reliable function.
If you are looking for a properly built STEN platform assembled by a licensed manufacturer with attention to detail, reliability, and craftsmanship rather than a basic kit assembly, this build was designed specifically for serious collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate quality and historical character.
