trooper1 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hey wild there are two sterlings on here today but just wanted to show my actual firing sterling I purchased. It is a reproduction model in semi auto. Before I dismantled it I thought I would try it out. It was pretty cool to shoot. The purchase of the parts kit would be alot cheaper though.

Headcount Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 ... and why, exactly, are you dismantling it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper1 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Oh well, don't know. Lol Not sure yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headcount Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I definitely wouldn't. Not when you could sell it for more than a deactivated Sterling costs, and make a perfectly good replica with a pipe. I'd hate to see a real (and probably somewhat rare) firing replica destroyed, when someone would be thrilled to have it. (I know I would! ) Just my 2 pence.

Headcount Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Heck, if it was mine, I'd still probably add the E-11 effects, just for my own entertainment on the range! (Those which could be safely added, that is...) OBVIOUSLY, you wouldn't be able to troop with it. (Added for anyone who doesn't know better.)

trooper1 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Well, see I am a gun dealer here in WV, and so I have access to these all the time. This is why I was thinking about changing this one. I may do that though. That would be pretty cool with all the add ons, and then still firing.

Headcount Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Nice! I'm sure that's a fun license to hold. (Yes, I'm jealous!) I always thought it'd be pretty cool to have a *non-trooping* E-11 that fired some sort of projectile, whether paintballs, airsoft, or ATF forbid, a little lead...

Daetrin Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 +1 on that Russell. How much do firing ones cost, can you say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper1 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 +1 on that Russell. How much do firing ones cost, can you say? Now the only thing is that the barrel is 16" long to meet ATF regulations, but the rest is exact. The cost is right around $440.00 plus about $25.00 shipping, and then it has to go to a transfer dealer in your state, to be transfered to the buyer. AS LONG AS YOUR STATE ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE IT. It is semi Auto, so it is legal in most states, but not in some. CALIFORNIA for one I dont think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headcount Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Nice. Thanks for sharing that info here--I was curious, too. That's actually pretty fair. *drool* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Man, that is nice!!! So... the question has to be asked. Is it worth all the time, trouble, and cost for me to become a gun dealer here in NM so that I can get one of these?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
