So basically the $10,000 price tag is because of Supply and Demand. These are either pre '86 guns that were rebuilt or this is a brand new semi-automatic version that is a short barreled rifle and falls under the NFA Act. |
As far as I am aware, this Sterling is brand new and selective fire. The maker did send me a video of one in the "white" test firing fully auto.

Sorry about the crappy quality photo, it was taken with a polaroid nearly 35 years ago, and was only found about two years ago. 
Each one fired 90 rounds before being packed an sent to it's owner. This was one was somewhat different as I was asked to make it with a flash eliminator, something not found on the original. |
You built the Sten Spike?
If you did, its bloody good.
It looks like the Mk2 Sten, but the magazine looks similar to the Sterling curved mag.
I had a couple Mk2 Stens WW2 vintage in the shop a few years ago, the fella who imported them, imported them as semi auto Enfield Pistols. He gave me a couple to sell for him, he assured me they were converted to semiauto. I took one to the range to test and it was selective fire. Interesting but expensive on ammo.
