So I was able to pick this up from a local. Unfortunately I didn't recognize it as such until I got it on hand. It was an opportunity for acquiring a deactivated sterling for what I felt was a decent price. Regardless, I did some quick research and confirmed that this is a "replica" sterling, the L2A3 from what I read up on. Despite not being the base sterling I wanted (I wanted to do an ESB stunt conversion), this is exactly what was used for the ROTJ blasters.
I guess since I'm not as well versed with the use of a real sterling, what kind of prices should I expect for the general refurbishing and welding? I figure I could still "flip" this and use it towards the more recognized version for what I'd like.
This piece is "mostly" there. I'm definitely needing to get some replacement parts, mainly the spring as well as the charging handle. Also a magazine. I should get someone who could weld it back together, strip it and then re-powder coat it.
Has anyone ever done a ROTJ sterling conversion before? I don't recall seeing one before
