    I think the company may have folded. Tony Belas was with them for a short time before going back to Daystate. Remember seeing the rifles on show at the NEC a few years back, interesting looking things.

    There was a member on here who also went to Sterling Armaments with Tony . He was at MTC (or the Diana group* of companies ) then Sterling .

    It seems any company that gets mixed up with Graham Trimm ends up losing out.

    Sterling Armaments did not fold. It's a format company .

    Lanchester dissolved last year.

    * Nothing to do with Diana Airguns who are part of GSG

    By the lack of 'used' ones on the second hand market from disillusioned purchasers I think the answer is NO

    Thanks for this. So the Lanchester side of their business folded which were the airguns?

    The Sterling Armaments website had the airguns on it as did the facebook page so it's not so clear.

    Their bull pup looks interesting. It’s a shame, I always like unusual airgun designs.
