Sterling SMG at the Range

http://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons https://www.floatplane.com/channel/ForgottenWeapons/home Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons The L2A3 Sterling submachine gun was a staple of British and small arms after World War Two, until the L85 rifle was adopted. Designed by George Patchett during the war and produced by Sterling, it is a simple and economical tubular open-bolt, simple blowback gun. It uses a very compact folding stock that is stable and useful when deployed, a very well shaped pistol grip, and a wonderful 34-round magazine. I've (surprisingly) not really had a chance to shoot a Sterling before, so I'm taking advantage of this one at Morphy's to change that! Overall, the Sterling is an excellent SMG. My only real complaint is that the stock layout and central position of the firing grip tends to make is a little bit bouncy in full automatic. Contact: Forgotten Weapons 6281 N.

I coined my internet moniker (Ready FIRE Aim) while shooting subguns kinda like Ian was shooting the Sterling ! I have a Mk4 (L2A3) and a Mk5 (L34A1) built by John Andrewski on DLO tubes. Mk5 conversion was done by Andy Blaschik. You've got to try out a Mk5 suppressed-stupid quiet. I never understood why the Sterling magazine roller design wasn't widely copied.

One of the Sterling design stories I like is on Page 181 of The Guns of Dagenham. Supposedly a button fell of George Patchett's trousers while he was sitting at the beach (Brits wearing trousers to the beach!). He blew out the button's thread hole and while looking through the button with the multiple holes, came up with an idea for the rear sniping site. My Mk5 has the sight, it works great. Try to find one and try it out.
