Fake sten?

[bigdude]

I just got a small order of sten in today, and I noticed it looked different from other stens I usually get. So I compared it to the others I have. I think these might be fake. I already know what most of you are going to say "Why would anyone fake stens, they are so cheap?". Well, I dont have an answer to that. but mexicans do strange things. Take a look at this pic and tell me what you think. The new amp is on the right and old one on the left. The new one also seems to be overfilled a little.

You say the new one is on the right?Well I have those from 1998 or 99.Lot#622401.expire 2002.I also remember that they change from the origanial to that design back then.They are good.The ones on the left I never seen before.Give them a try and post results.

I've seen both, and they were both real.
I just think Sten is real weak, you need too many of them.

there are a few different types...I actually have the preloads and the ones you posted...both are good....as for weak, they are weak mg/ml....but 1 amp/day for 30 days will kick your ass..peace
