Sterling assault rifle

[angrysoldier]

Got to love that cheap paint finish. It's not mine. Yes it's legal. It's part of a weapon collection.

Please pardon my ignorance but what am I looking at and why is it a big deal?

sterling assault rifle in 556, only 100 made
could have been the uk service rifle but they went full retard at decided to go with the sa80

 

[norlandgeese]

This is a model 80 SAR right?

 

[Travis Bickle]

Nice. There's a rare classic.
Note the AR18 design influence strongly on those.
Even the SA80 is basically a bullpup AR18. Very cool pics, thanks for posting!

No that was the ghost gun. Capable of shooting 30 magazine clips in less than half a second.

 

[angrysoldier]

The rifle it's self feels very cheap but I was told it shoots well.

 

[lawn gnome]

Nice.
This deserves a searchable title for prosperity.

 

[BrownGuy]

Yes x2. I like the FNC and similarly the Daewoo K2.

Must be.........seeing as how that's stamped right on the receiver. There's no such thing as an "assault" rifle,remember? There goes that theory.LOL

Sterling manufactured a few thousand and several thousand kits for assembly by Singapore, who modified the production version slightly.

Singapore used them to replace the m16a1 when they didn't want to pay Colt licensing anymore.

It's an ar18 with ar15 trigger group.

 

[gunplumberr]

Yep thats a SAR 80 captured more then a few and shoot the #### out of most of them, a crude looking but actually not bad rifle
