The STEN project has hit a snag.
I do not possess a high school metal shop.
There's a scarcity of rental machine shops for some reason.
There's an abundance of machine ships I can hire to do work, but damn few (none) that will let me use the machines. My closest friend with the tooling is in North Carolina.
Then there's the parkerization tank.
About the only thing I have available locally is the welder.
I has the sads about this project because it's going to cost a lot to buy the tools to make the tools to make the parts.
That kind of makes it less viable than (yet) another AR.
