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
It's a prototype so I hope the rear sight is still under discussion. It is by far the most exciting new air rifle I've seen in years. I will buy one if and when they make them.

[QUOTE=T 20;7439277]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.

That's a new one on me.another one to look out for. it just goes to show you learn something new every day. remembering it is my problem.
yeah, agreed... I've posted on here before about what a great format for a gun that Bonehill is. I think a "hammer" trigger design should work (like the scorpion), that way the actaul mech itself remains self contained and nicely adjustable, and the hammer impacts the main sear that stays attached to the cylinder. Cylinder bore was around 27.5mm, with loads of spring room, so all it needs is a it more stroke, and a shorter port.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
Hi guys!
Sterling are back!
There are a couple of new guns, no April fools jokes here!
These guns are all prototypes,
We are currently gathering public feedback on the rifles, any changes that need to be made will be made prior to going into production, which all being well with no modifications will be imminent!!
We have a mid priced electronic rifle
survivalist take down rifle
the mk2
twin piston gas ram recoiless rifle
all rifles are designed, constructed and manufactured in Britain!
we think there are some great innovative products! I just hope you guys do too!!
all the best Adam

Is that a New HR 81 in the pics?
Or just a blast from the past?
Good luck with the new venture.
It is indeed the new 81 mate,
same as the mk2, brining some of the classics into the 21st century 👌
thank you!!
