The STEN gun is no longer manufactured, marketed, or distributed. In the UK, you would only be permitted deactivated replicas. In the US, you would have to find a transferable model for sale, which would probably run you at least $8,000 (if not more), provided you were able to obtain the Class III NFA permit to own one.
This is not entirely true... I am referring to a deactivated one and not replica for collecting purposes. When I last looked they were about £120 roughly $270. However this was a few months ago however prices change rapidly in collecting such militaria hence the question as I am not too sure whether a change in price has occurred. Hopefully not as I will then be able to acquire one. Thanks for the help though.

The Sten (or Sten gun) was a family of British 9 mm submachine guns used extensively by British and Commonwealth forces throughout World War II and the Korean War. They were notable for having a simple design and very low production cost making it an effective insurgency weapon with resistance groups.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sten
