| That's what it looks like but the mag should be a little bit longer. Can you see any proof markings on it? Hell, it might be an afghani knock off of the Sten. Designation: Sten Mk II Classification Type: Submachine Gun Manufacturer: Birmingham Small Arms Co. / Royal Small Arms - UK Country of Origin: United Kingdom Initial Year of Service: 1941 |

 | Looks like it's a Carbine Machine Sten.  Here are a couple of links with more info... REME Weapons Collection - Sub-Machine Guns - 2 STEN Machine Carbine - Turrets and Tracks |

| I strongly suspect that it is a Sten clone produced in the local Afgan cottage gun industry. There are several villages that have their entire economy based on cottage gun production.

Either a STEN or a knockout, they were designed for ease of manufacture.
