MINT Condition Original Silenced Sterling Mk5 - MJL Militaria
I forwarded this closed bolt material to James Ed and he is quite perplexed, saying that they'd prepare any variation if a customer wanted it - and had deep pockets. But the L34 marks (or L2A3 markings) were there to indicate that the gun was identical to the UK military L34 and/or the L2A3.
In this case, the closed bolt gun is definitely NOT the same and nor would many of the parts be interchangeable. It is clearly not a made up 'fake' but certainly not one that the owner knows about or recalls. Shame engineering director David Howroyd isn't here to add his 2c's worth.
I would think that it wouldn't be that difficult to convert any Sterling to a closed bolt by simply installing the trigger group and the bolt.
If the US requirement to make it irreversable were ignored, should be extremely easy?
In fact many of the US "Century Arms" "Sterling" Mk6 pattern carbines available a few years ago had L2A3 bolts and Trigger groups converted to closed bolt.
