Hi,
That Sterling is in the office as you enter the building along with other gold plated weapons. I see them often.

I have always lusted after a sterling, but have never even seen one in person.
My copy
Looks really good did you build this one yourself?
Thanks
Danny
Yes, I copied it from the one I bought. I will sell the original one now and make a load more. I test fired it today, it works really well. The pistol grip, safety, and folding stock are nice features, apart from that it's just like a sten.
PS, The magwell design was taken from the Lanchester which was built by Sterling. It's a copy of the Schmeisser MP-28/II, which was developed from the first real submachine gun, the Bergmann M-18 (Maschinenpistole). If something works don't fix it !
You've made a fantastic job, the only thing that gave it away is the finish, which I think looks a lot better than the original
Thanks
Danny
