I was told to keep this under wraps until 1st April

Strangely, the MK2 was still being made in South America during the 1970's so anything could be true, Pete.

Interesting. Please tell us more!

Grab from that video..

I would very much like to see that 'Sterling Mk.2 Service' in the flesh, or alternatively some close up photographs.

[Mr. Gen]

"TR A powerful lightweight take down survivalist gun which and be supplied to fire a barbed bolt, tranquiliser dart or slug in calibres from .25 to .40. FAC or Export only Estimated RRP £500"

I was really impressed with them - then I realised it was just some giveaway pens

One was shown on the Vintage American Airgun forum about five years ago, John.

The gun was a near perfect copy of the MK2 service except it had a plastic stock.

I'll do a search later to see if I can find the thread.

horrible looking rearsight

[Troubledshooter]

Thanks for that clearer picture, Steve. The screen shot from the video shows the rifle but little detail.
It's a pity they didn't stick to open sights, as there's plenty of room at the rear of the breech block to mount a decent rear sight, as per the original.

Looks like it railed for a scope? Wouldn’t that look strange?

Thank you Mick.

That's a new one on me. Doesn't look like it has a peep sight but then I can't see one on the 'new' Service either. I shall be at the show tomorrow and try to find out a little more about this project.

Edit: I can now see from other posts that a horrible plastic looking optic has been fitted, which goes against the principle of the original. Paul O'Donnell makes some incredibly good replica 3rd series peep sights and I'd rather see one of these on the rifle than some modern optic.

Kind regards,

John

That was my immediate thought as well.
