All very valid points.. It just seems such a shame to only see three of these guns after all the work you put in...
I suppose as long as you enjoyed making them as much as everyone, who is following this thread, has enjoyed watching you make them, then that is reward enough.
Once again though, fantastic job..
Regards Chris.

I see you have modded SLR on your list of weapons. What's that then?

not sure about a tutorial but im happy to help with any questions or measurements.just following the build thread should give a fair idear of the order in whitch i did stuff,you will need quite a good levol of tools to do what ive done,im lucky enough to have a lath and mill as well as mig welder and grinders ,so some of the parts will be hard to make without.

Verrry cool Sterlings. Closest to a Sterling I have seen so far. I am a fan of Sterlings and Stens. I have made a paintball Sten.

I have a Ashi gas operated Sterling: one day I hope to duplicate it.
