    The lowest commercial Mk5 so far (Serial # 152)...and in the US - should have been manufactured c.1967/68 ...possibly early enough to be transferable in the USAicon depending on when it was imported!!??

    Ressurrecting this thread from the dead to show my "sort of" MK5, although the correct designation is actually Mk IV. There were apparently only 13 of these specifically manufactured in a special run for Peter Wilke of Ontaria Gun and Tackle, a prolific Canadian dealer in military surplus firearms and associated exotica/raffica back primarily during the 1980s. They are a semi-automatic-only, closed-bolt gun, built on a Mk 5 Receiver, to include the 3 Alignment/End-Cap threaded Rods. There are no internals (Mesh, Spiral Diffuser, etc) as the barrel runs the length of the Suppressor Casing to project just past the End-Cap. The right side of the Trigger Housing is engraved "Sterling, Englandicon" over top of "O.G.T. Canadaicon" to denote the special run between Sterling and Wilke.
