Sterling Arms International R18 Mk3 Part 1 Review - Specifications and Initial Impressions

owlowl said:
Big deal? There is a marking on a firearm. It claims there is a "Sterling Arms International, London, UK", but it does not exist? Are you all guys for real?

To what level of insane carelessness are you all willing to go just to get a new toy? How about they are all going to be marked serial number CA0009, is it also fine with you or serial number matters but not a name of a company you cannot find a trace of? How about they put a wrong caliber designation, since apparently it is all irrelevant?

I'm really not sure what it is you're on about, but...
How do you know Sterling Arms International does not have a presence in London, England?
They might have a phone number that links to a call service or a Post Office box.
Have you completed a forensic audit of the corporate entitie(s) through the various corporate registries?
Why would I care if SAI has a bricks and mortar office v. simply a PO box or a half retired business executive running an office from the side of his dining room table in London, England?

Why would I conduct a CORES search and drill down through potentially various numbered companies to find the individuals identified as officers, and their whereabouts of a company for a firearm I own? Who does that? (the answer is no one, fyi - outside of maybe a regulatory body conducting their duty).

Sterling has an internet presence, phone number, email and post office information in Calgary. As it so happens I emailed them this weekend to secure some consumable parts for my Mk2.
I'll be sure to grill them over their engraving of the lower receiver on my R18 and let you know how it goes.

Edit to add: Better yet, here is their contact info. for you to get hold of them yourself.

OR maybe go the route Shooting Centre suggests and dig through CORES for further info.

?
There is no UK based company of that name. I gave you the link to the UK corporate search site and you can check yourself.
Sterling Armament Company is the UK arms maker of the AR-180.
https://www.sterlingacl.com/home

Sterling Arms International is an Alberta registered company using the Sterling name because of the relation to the AR-180 presumably.
 
Let's be clear here - I am interested in the physical R18 Mk3, NOT JR Cox's business arrangements to bring it to market. So long as sthose arrangements are not at risk of collapse due to the unfortnate demise of TSE, I could not care less. This thread is about the exciting RIFLE that I have in hand, not the parent company or its relationship to some distant company in England. Same Sterling or a different one created just for this rifle, I simply do not care.

OwlOwl and CSC (James Bachynski) - if you wish to continue your amateur sleuthing to find further fault with JR Cox, kindly start your own thread for that specific purpose and STAY OUT of my review. There - I have asked nicely, so please take your character assassination efforts to YOUR own thread where you can say whatever the hell you like for your own admiring audience. We are here for the rifle, NOT owlowl's continued mudslinging and James B's "helpful" business hints. Show some couth and common courtesy - go start your very own "I hate JR Cox" thread and leave mine the hell alone.

And so.... Fvck you very much, you whiny piece of sh#t. Shouldn't you be doing your homework in your Mom's basement instead of bothering adults on the internet?

There - see how that works?!? Tit for tat. Call me a shill, and I will tell you exactly what I think of you in return. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said a thing.... Idiot.

Fine example of said "couth and common courtesy".
 
So far this was a great review and examination of a rifle. I look forward to seeing how it shoots in the near future! Hopefully this bolt comes soon

Sure thing Bartok5 ( Mark Campbel) and perhaps you too can limit all of your various cheerleading and defending of the “designer” and just focus on the review. Nothing I posted was derogatory only background.

That is precisely what I am here to do. Post #1 refers.....

I have never hidden my name, so you are hardly "outing" me. Childish gesture, James. I'd have defended you as a "friend" as well were the shoe on the other foot, as I don't have a dog in your (evidently) ongoing spat with JR Cox. You are making that awkward now, to say the least. Please don't make me regret giving you my continued business.

What was the point of calling out Bartok's real name? What was the decision process here? Seems f***ing childish.
 
Surprised people don't know who bartok is? He's done lots of articles and interviews for various outlets. I even heard him on 630ched one day.

Are you kidding?? :ROFLMAO: He obviously did it simply because you did it first; he even did it in the same format you did. You're like that clown meme that just keeps getting more and more clowny, lol.

Probably because he dropped their name first. And yeah, this entire thread is a model of maturity.

And yes, I have contributed to said idiocy, but at least I am willing to own it.

Yeah, except the name of the CSC owner is public domain, whereas real CGN user names are supposed to be confidential. Whatever, I could care less. As I said, I was hardly hiding my real moniker....
