Northeast STEN MK.5 GBB – the British legend in airsoft form

This professional product description was prepared by the expert team at ANAREUS.cz. All rights to this unique content are reserved by anareus.cz.The Northeast STEN MK.5 GBB is a detailed gas-powered replica of one of the most iconic British firearms of World War II, combining a robust steel receiver, genuine beech wood furniture, and a realistic gas blowback system. The Mk.5 version is based on the refined STEN variant introduced in 1944, featuring a wooden stock, pistol grip, vertical front grip, bayonet lug, and a front sight inspired by the Lee-Enfield No.4 rifle. Northeast has focused heavily on authenticity, equipping the replica with a steel construction finished in Bluing, a brass buttplate, and historically accurate factory markings. Its 3.92 kg weight further enhances the realistic handling experience. The gas-powered operating system features a moving bolt with GBB blowback and both Semi and Full Auto firing modes, while the shortened bolt travel improves gas efficiency. The latest 2026 version builds upon previous upgrades by adding a reinforced nozzle, a wider BB feeding section beneath the nozzle tip for improved durability, the latest hop-up bucking, and a revised valve knocker base. It also retains the updated hop-up chamber for improved bucking alignment. One of the biggest advantages of the new configuration is its factory compatibility with both Green Gas and CO2 magazines without additional modifications, allowing you to choose the most suitable power source depending on weather conditions and performance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can the STEN MK.5 be used with CO2?

Yes. The current 2026 version is factory-ready for both Green Gas and CO2 operation. Simply use the appropriate magazine for your chosen power source. The CO2 version offers more consistent cold-weather performance and, thanks to its built-in limiter, delivers approximately 10 m/s lower muzzle velocity, helping it comply with CQB field limits.

Is the wooden furniture made from real wood?

Yes. The stock, pistol grip, and front grip are made from genuine beech wood. Combined with the predominantly steel construction, Bluing finish, and brass buttplate, they provide an exceptionally authentic look and feel.

How does the STEN MK.5 differ from the simpler STEN MK.2?

The real STEN Mk.5 was introduced as a more refined and ergonomic version of the original STEN. Compared to the utilitarian Mk.2, it features a wooden stock, pistol grip, front grip, improved sights, and several other design refinements. The Northeast airsoft replica faithfully reproduces these distinctive Mk.5 characteristics.
