Another non-restricted option! This time; without the Canadian NR tax!
In September at TACCOM, we debuted the Sterling Arms International line up:

We were hoping to have this out in the public long before this, but we did not want to beta test on the Canadian public ;-) and took our time. But it is now time….
As discussed previously: the design is based on the NEA 102 as we bought the “technical data package” off of them and therefore… the FRT access. Given the RCMP delays on new approvals, we thought this was the fastest and safest route to market.
Background:
Many on this forum will know that I have been involved as a managing partner in the UK with another UK Heritage brand; William Evans Ltd. (https://www.williamevans.com/ ) for almost 10 years. This has given me the opportunity to meet other manufacturers and innovators around the world. In this time I had the honour and opportunity to befriend Mr. James Edmiston. I do not think there is anyone with a more interesting history in the arms industry. He has been involved with the Sterling brand for many decades and is probably the most knowledgeable individual in regards to military weaponry I know.
Sterling Arms International (SAI) is a commercial affiliation of the Sterling Armament Company ( https://www.sterlingacl.com/ ) based in the UK. The goal of SAI is to offer high quality commercial sporting arms at an affordable price. SAI is not trying to be the cheapest. It is trying to offer the best return for investment; basing the sales price starting from the manufacturing costs and working up: Not just pricing what the market will bear.
Using Mr. Edmiston’s experience, we have been able to properly manufacture a reasonably priced selection of parts and pieces to offer to the Canadian market.
At this time, we are only offering kits and parts. Full rifles will come a little later, but they will be branded “Edge Customs” guns as they are, in reality a mishmash of numerous manufacturers. Stay tuned separately for those.
We have personally built and tested over 10 of these “in-house” and with the IBI barrel; are really happy with our results.
