Berbs42[TK] Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 So, I've started my build... Wanted to get it done by Celebration. This will be one of the stunt versions. I have made one glaring mistake so far and placed the scope way too far back for the version I'm trying to go for. As mentioned in the order thread, the box was battered, but the kit was packed extremely well and was intact! (I have a different trigger inbound from Derrek) I picked up a Folding Stock, Trigger Assembly and Grip, and considering the heft they will add, I'll most likely use the Folding Stock on a second build (ANH most likely), and may eventually replace what I have here as far as the Trigger and Grip go. I'd like to use the real trigger for the Skyone / Khazid Mod here eventually as well. Wanted to get an idea where some of the parts oughta go so I test-fit the folding stock in the notch on the barrel and used this for pic as a reference later: So after a few days, here's where I was this morning: Will post more soon. - Berbs 2 Quote
T-Jay[TK] Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Looks very interesting, Chris. If possible, could you add some more detailed shots? You made quite a big jump from the picture with all parts spread on the table to your current progress Very curious on how this build will evolve... Quote
Dday[501st] Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Berbs, Great news, and glad to see your build started! The full size triggers are in the mail to you now. Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Before installing the folding stock, don't forget that "signature" barrel cut near the muzzle if you want to go replica. Edit: This cut shouldn't be on every Sterling, i'm just saying it should be there for that particular e-11 replication. Edited March 8, 2015 by The5thHorseman 1 Quote

Berbs42[TK] Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Posted March 10, 2015 More Pics... I still have some Resin Completion Set parts coming as well as an Accurate Trigger. Test Fit! Here's where I snapped the tab on the aluminum, so it's glued down. But I need a new Rail anyway since the scope is so far back. Shaved down the sides here so it would fit in nice and snug... Only needed a few small drops of e-6000 Used a screw in place of the part on the folding stock that locks into place. - Berbs Quote
Tusken RTT Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 Coming along! I am not an ESB expert so forgive; is the scope too far back, or do they fluctuate? In looking at the screen pics and your last, looks like it could move forward some? Quote

Tusken RTT Posted March 10, 2015 Report Posted March 10, 2015 Ahhhh just saw it, thanks. I'm a member of the club, had to move my counter. It's all fixable and will look fantastic! 1 Quote
