Ghost Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I have decided to go down the route of converting a deactivated Sterling SMG into an E-11. A very big thank you to Voice in the Crowd for making this project actually happen, and thanks to him have just about everything to complete this project. All I need now is some time and to do a bit more research before I begin, so will be giving you a shout Billy Anyway I received my Sterling yesterday and have posted up some quick pics I just took. I will post up some pics of all the extra parts I have, and will keep all updated on this build thread I love the folding stock on this beauty, the Sterling is such a great piece!

TD-1536 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I used to own one and they're awesome. The real weight feels great in your hands, though not all that great for trooping. E-11 conversions are always exciting, so keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-11 conversions are always exciting, so keep us posted! Yes it is quite weighty!! It will be a display piece, so not used for trooping.
