Looking for E-11 with metal parts and electronics

[PEEL1965]

Hello all,
I am looking for someone that makes an E-11 out of a deact sterling with blast core or similar electronics. I live in Canada if that makes any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Feel free to PM me here.

Do you have the deac. L2A3 already?
If not you might have serious problems getting one imported.

Your best choice would be to get a DoopyDoo kit from ebay and upgrade/ scratchbuild several parts in metal.

I do not have the deact sterling yet. From what I've heard it could be an issue. Looks like I may have to abandon this avenue. Thanks for the advice....

Would it be possible to import a Sterling parts kit? Then you could build the receiver tube yourself.

I may be able to through a contact at work. I'm not particularly talented as far as a build goes though...

I've got a ton of other projects going on right now, but I built this from a Sterling parts set:

that. is sexy...

Yeah, pretty much abandon the plan about getting a real sterling...even a deactivated one. If you're good at metal working you could mill one out of raw stock but that could be a serious project. I tried to import real parts like the buttstock and the grip (technically non-firing components) but once the company found out I was from Canada, they cancelled the order.

Yes. Spoke with my contact at work and he said the same thing. Oh well. Resin it is I guess...

How would one go about getting a nice deac Sterling anyway. The only ones I've seen are from IMA and looks like hell.

Or, if your country laws allow, try the airsoft versions out there, not perfect, but still cool and made of metal.

Ten years ago, I hand-made one almost entirely out of aluminium stock and epoxy using widely available patterns. Lots of work, though. The mag and mag well were especially difficult. Bending metal multiple when you don't have perfectly square shapes is not that easy to get right. More recently I build a mag/well out of plastic, and it was easier to glue sheets together at angles.

You don't need a mill for making the receiver to put resin parts onto. You could cut the openings with a drill, a dremel and some files. I didn't actually have a proper drill, and I used hand files much more than I used the dremel.

I already posted the link to the airsoft variants out there. There are more than one, each with its own imperfections, still ok if not able to get a deact. Sterling.
