Sten guns

[Mgderf]

I was just gifted 3 Sten mags that I can't use.
They are about 33 rounders I'd guess, by comparing them to my 32 round Colt mags.

A shipping invoice was in the same box, and it says "used Sten mags" and lists them as $5.79, or something close, but the invoice is dated 2000.
These are swimming in cosmoline, and I don't really feel like cleaning them since I have no use for them.

So, if these used mags sold for right at $6 in 2000, what are they worth now, and how many people look for Sten mags?

Probably worth $300 and a handy each since it's a pandemic

I believe INGO member Slowhand still has a Sten. He will probably know what they’re worth.

$300 and 2 handies

I'm not sure I want handies from anyone on Armslist...

They sell for $10 to $15 each in used condition, and about $20 in mint condition

I was thinking about $10.
Can't tell how "used" they are with all of the cosmoline.
I'm serious, I think they weigh half again as much as they should.

How many handies does a sten mag cost? I’m so confused.

Sten mags can be used in a S&W 76 and Carl Gustaf with alterations.

 

[Floivanus]

Sten mags can be used in a Sterling...

guess who has a Sterling... this guy right here.

25 rounders usually cost $10 or so, the 32s cost around $15- $20 each Depending on condition.

Last time I seen Sten mags was at the Knob Creek machine gun shoot last year. I didnt see alot of them but the mint ones were $20-$30 and the not so mint ones were anywhere from $10-$20.

Depends on how much cosmoline and a fellers pain tolerence.

Sounds like you need a Sten...

Sten Gun mags are also used in the 9mm Mac-11 (and the Mac-10 .45 versions I have seen use Grease Gun Mags).
