looks closer than the ROTJ version.  from the photos only the bayonet lug area the end cap and folding stock would need upgrades.

[gazmosis[501st]]

I wish we could see the other side. But as it is there is nothing that would make this weapon not accepted. It even has the "D" ring

[Bone[501st]]

Vern, can you elaborate a bit more, please?

 

The price is tempting, availability is given ...

 

What would you change?

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

Well, I'm not Vern, but, After I found additional pictures, the trigger housing looks wrong. This is likely because this is a softgun and they need space for the gearbox, but still. I would say this is the biggest flaw in this model.

And there is no flat area in front of the bayonet lug.
 

[The5thHorseman[501st]]

Overall, it looks weird... Like a mix between the L2A3 and the MGC, with also self interpretation of some parts. Everything looks a bit off: the trigger group, "S-?-R" markings instead of "A-R-S" for the fire selector, handle shape, inner bolt, rear sight, folding stock cross junction, muzzle to barrel junction, bayonnet lug area, ...

Still better than a Hasbro but not better than the Doopy in my opinion.

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

But still cheaper than a MR

[jkno]

Not sure why is so hard for these airsoft companies to make either a L2A3 or a C1 and not a combo of the two...

It's not perfect, but taken for what it is, they did a pretty good job on it. I imagine the sterling because of it's slim and somewhat odd design, is pretty hard to make into a functional air soft gun. So some changes have to be made to accommodate.

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

its actually not that hard.

They have made an accurate Sten AEG not so long ago, and it have even less room for the gearbox, than the Sterling have.

[Locitus[Admin]]

I suppose it can be made. But we don't know what compromises they had to do. Maybe settle with a smaller gearbox and weaker motors than they would have wanted.

Probably.
But I could see myself getting one of theese, and use parts from this and my MR, to get a more accurate and "de-activated/replica like" Sterling E-11.

[Locitus[Admin]]

That would be pretty cool

[Arnie_DK[TK]]

My thought exactly!

Take two, okay E-11's, and make a perfect one

[TK bondservnt[501st]]

sorry folks.. junk is watto's camp... maybe anakin can fix this junk... but I can't
