STERLING MK4 (L2A3)
Caliber:
9x19mm Luger/Para This submachine gun was developed in the 1940s by the Patchett at the Sterling Armament Co., Great Britain, and was adopted by the British Army in 1953. It remained in army service well until the early 1990s, when it was replaced by the L85A1 assault rifle. The Sterling is a relatively simple, but very well made, blowback operated gun. The receiver and the barrel heat shield are made from a steel tube, the bolt is machined, with a fixed firing pin and four special ribs, designed to gather and remove the dust and fouling from the receiver. The curved magazine is inserted from the left side, spent cases are ejected to the right. The folding butt is made from stamped steel. A Silenced version of the Sterling, officially labeled as L34A1, replaced in service the older STEN Mark 6 silenced. Experience one TODAY at Midwest Gun and Range!
