Sten Mk II convertable to LH?

I have a friend who wants to acquire or alter a Sten Mk II to Leftie use.
Anyone have any tips?

I wouldn't recommend it. I think it might be technically feasible, but the receiver is the gun, and if he wrecks a registered receiver he has nothing but trash instead of a gun worth a few thousand.

If he is planning on doing something illegal, well, he is buying all sorts of problems that have nothing to do with technical issues.

Thanks, I'll let him know..
No, nothing illegal, Just that Minnesota is a
C&R state, and he thought the sten was potentially convertable. Know of any Left hand C&R weapons available?
