Going on a 43 foot Cat off PR for 9 days next month. My old Rubberband guns are toast. I picked up a Mares Shortie and need operation help. Cant find manual anywhere. Nice gun, doubt its ever been used.
thanks for any help!
 
Hi,
I suppose it's the US model of a 58cm Mini Sten. All though the "Stens" have been made since the 60'ties (with different looks) are their basics function and technical design through the years quite similar.

I have attached :
1. the parts diagram for the 1983 type. This is probably the version you have. Or it's the later "jet" type you have.
2. The new general Mares user manual for their pneumatic guns.

Good luck with the shortie,
Jégwan
