Sure will. As far as submachine guns go, the Sten was one of the easiest to produce. I think they were just stamped out and were a bare bones firearm. You could field a ton in short order but they weren't rated high on the quality scale. Sometimes quantity is more important than quality, I guess.

For sixty bucks one can get spare parts (stock, trigger assembly, assembled bolt (handle, firing pin and extractor), and bolt spring), another sixty bucks for a brand new barrel and mag well; and another two hundred bucks the tubular receiver with the key cut outs 80 percent cut (do not remove cut outs, because it is a violation of firearm laws). Sten mags are dirt cheap and 9mm bullets are available. All these components can be sitting in one's garage/secret storage and assembled at a small machine shop if one wants to be in legal hotwater. A MACHETE is easier and cheaper to make. Flat steel, a grinder, two pieces of flat wood and a good grommet punch kit is all one needs.
