Sterling Mk6 trigger

[Vincent]

This would occur to me to be a later act by a civilian.

Yep, the Mk6 is a civilian semi-auto gun. Apparently, it was done by a “gunsmith.”

I don't think it would even slip into place with that spring there.

It surprised me when I found it jammed in there.

One of the Sterling companies claims to fame was that you couldn't assemble it wrongly. I have a feeling that the only part that you could assemble wrongly was the cocking handle.

That’s what I thought too, but I was wrong. I have seen the return springs put in wrong. The small spring inside the big spring and the cup against the endcap.

I thought this one was remarkable, so I posted the picture.

You two would enjoy the box guns. It’s a gun someone completely disassembled to clean, then couldn’t reassemble. All the individual parts are in a box. Hence the name. They have a way of showing up at cocktail parties when the owners know you are into guns.
