Developed towards the end of World War II, the Sterling Submachine Gun was the direct successor to the STEN as Britain's go-to main line submachine gun, in active use through the 1950s and into the 1990s. An evolution of the tubular receiver design exemplified by the British STEN and German MP-40, the Sterling had a reputation for reliability and accuracy, and was adopted by a number of military and police units as their close quarters battle weapon. Post front and two-leaf peep rear sights, with a bayonet lug on the ventilated heat shield, Sterling markings on the magazine well, checkered pistol grip, unmarked right handed selector with safe/semi/auto positions, and an underfolding buttstock. The bolt is fitted with a fixed firing pin and integral spiral fluting, with a single-spring recoil assembly. Included with the lot is a canvas sling, bayonet with sheath, manual, four extra magazines, and a shipping box. This Sterling Submachine gun is consecutively numbered to the following lot.
