    Sterling armaments

    http://sterlingarmaments.com

    Some interesting looking guns - with 'assistance' from Boxall& Edminson. Looks like they have Tont Belas formerly of Daystatebon board.

    Thanks for the YouTube link, the rifles look alot more plausible in the moving image. The Webley copy is very pretty indeed. Some design work needs to be done on making the opposed piston gun less of a hideous contraption, but the idea is good. Not sure why they departed from the Park layout so much.

    I wonder how pretty it's going to look with a scope on it, Alistair ?

    The opening of the bolt looks like it will rule out fitting a rifle scope so the only alternative will be to fit a pistol scope.

    Hmm. It's going to need a tang-fitted peep-sight. Scoping it will turn it into a Webley Service Mk II.1 'Scout Rifle' which is too much of a stretch and it will end up looking like a prop from the first Star Wars movie ... which featured a lot of Sterlings (without their magazines).

    If I recall, they had short, perhaps 5 round mags ?

    I seriously hope that people that have paid for them get them and he does not just disappear with peoples money again And the companies that are getting involved with him are not left to pay his debts.

    It's going to be like the Park, a nice idea but the reality somehow doesn't translate through.

    A tweaked ProSport or TX200 is going to be a better rifle.

    Doomed, we are all doomed.

    Strangely, Alistair, it reminds me of another twin piston recoilless gun.

    I'm a sucker for a pretty face that little PCP is a stunner, and I do like the side lever but that's a wait and see type. It depends on reliability mainly, PCP ease of shooting with no need for a bottle can't be bad.

    Of course you'd still have a bottle for the little darling.

    Sterling

    Hats off to them. Nice to see a British company bring something new out unlike some I can mention. I wish you all the best. Mach 1.5

    I was thinking the easiest and cleanest way to fit sights would be to groove the muzzle to accept a HW style tunnel fore sight with interchangeable elements, and to cut 11mm grooves into the top of the transfer port/barrel latch block so a Williams diopter sight could be used.

    The PCP looks like a pretty little thing.
