I think there is a company that makes semiauto Suomi's that would probably be cheaper to buy from than to make your own. Generally you'll need a modified receiver that won't accept the original bolt so you'll need a new bolt or heavily modify your original, the semiauto bolt and firing mechanism is going to be a lot more complicated than the full auto one (at least it is on the Sten). You'll have to do some things for the semi-auto build so that certain original parts can not be physically used at all and some characteristics that full-autos have can't exist at all in the semi-auto version. You can get around the $200 stamp if you extend the barrel. Mine was a fun build and is fun to use as well. Plus I think you might have to make more parts yourself than I did for the Sten. The Suomi looks like it will be a bit more in-depth though due to design and that magwell being cut. I built a semiauto sten mkIII once from a demilled kit and parts from Indianapolis Ordnance. If it can be done, someone there will have done it.
