My Sterling Project

[Koa]

i bought this from Myron....THANKS!

and first things first.....i need a 45 frame....and it takes the same frame and trigger as a mag/sniper2 so any different geometry in the trigger might mess me up....looking at Dave's pump mag he has a Dye  frame on it and its trigger is the same yet still a 45 frame...perfect....oh im not the only one to think of it....BlackRain thought of it before.....oh thats pretty

and always thought....why doesnt it have a dual guide kit like this?

and while im at it i love how the new sterlings have no Hoses

its because they have orings that seal around the hose, much like Micro/Macroline fittings

so im gonna do that but put a reg in there like a pneumag like this so i can reg the gun, should be enough flow and psi for a pump

and since ill have internal hoses i need to plug the back of the Air chamber...so ill make a balanced valve like this one with the modded valve stem, it will plug the back and allow for better springing combinations to make a quieter shot and lighter pump pull

And last and probably least is to make a new bolt with a halfblock style bolt and pump rod holder, i always hated how the pump rod is bent....never made for a good alignment.


so i got ok my my machinist in Australia that he can make the valve stem
Posted in MCB and asked Rainman229 if he can make me a Sterling Rail/Guide
trying to scrounge up a Rock or any other small LPR with a high enough output
and i need to find some Pneumag Tutorials on how they put the reg into the frame...what fittings they used
also need to figure out what fittings i need for the internal line



i will name this gun "we dont love them hose"

KOA,
What other pictures were you needing? I can post all the sterling pics I have while I was building this. Just PM or email me. I was making room for other projects and deleted some pictures. Hey by the way, I may be coming your way. Hopefully I'll have a Phantom ready by then, I'm in the process of building one at the moment and I'll have a few other guns packed and ready to get sent to me. So if I go,I'll be new to all of Hawaii and really need to know how to get around and how to get to the other Islands if needed. There is no way I'm going and not playing paintball. Also can you email me a list of the parks and rental fees. I'll need to rent a bottle while I'm there.
Later,
Blackrain:)

Wow reg in grip before the Mini ...

[Koa]

yeah...but SP still saying its their design and patented it...........assholes

[elweer]

mmmm smart parts

[Koa]

well i hit my first snag.....i measured from the trigger pin to the sear pin to drill my new sear hole in the mag frame

but the pin om the mag frame is .5" further back than a stock frame so my sear wont trip the hammer, i gotta fill in the old hole with something or drill and fit in a new spacer and drill that.......oh well

[Koa]

oh well i came accross these pics and this just proves to me that sterlings a more gooder than others pumps

[Koa]

well besides the sear pin hole being in the wrong place i got steps 1 and 2 done



and my balanced valve is almost complete as well

[Koa]

more pictars im actually gonna copy that style of pump handle, its so nice

[Koa]

oh BTW i given up on working on the old sterling....im selling it and buying a new one to do all this to
