This video from Forgotten Weapons explores a fascinating modification of the British Sten submachine gun, specifically a Chinese variant chambered in 7.62mm Tokarev. Originally supplied by Canada to Chinese Nationalist forces during WWII in 9mm, many of these Stens were later converted to fire the 7.62mm Tokarev round. The conversion involved replacing the barrel and magazine well, often adapting PPS-43 magazines. The video highlights the historical context of the 7.62mm Tokarev's popularity in China due to its similarity to the 7.63mm Mauser. The presenter thanks the Royal Armouries for access to this rare example.
