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

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

"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.

Edit - found it :-

horrible looking rearsight

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.

Agreed, it spoils the whole line of the rifle.

Have to agree I would of liked the flip up sight on this like the original would of set it of nice .
