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&#8217;ve (surprisingly) not really had a chance to shoot a Sterling before, so I&#8217;m taking advantage of this one at Morphy&#8217;s to change that!<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
