    Sterling Police Carbine

    Hi all, brand new here. Having a difficult time finding bits and pieces for my Sterling. Have been looking for a trigger guard and trigger assembly cradle for awhile. Mine are in rough shape. Have sourced everything I can find online such as Marstar. Great bunch of guys by the way. Was hoping to find an old collector that was ready to pass along some of his or her treasures for a nominal fee of course. Glad we could have this little chat and I do appreciate your time .... Robert

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Hard to find anything for a Sterling Police carbine at all, let alone in Canadaicon. Importing will be even harder and specially at this exact moment. There are members on this forum that have such though, place a WTB on the correct forum and maybe you'll get the parts...

    Matter of fact recently a SMG C1 or Sterling L2A3 or some such sold as a whole on CanadianGunNutz...
    Regards, Jim

    Carbine trigger frames were simply converted to single shot fire from the standard trigger frames and parts by the insertion of a through pion that prevented the inner change lever from rotating to the A position. Trigger guard EASILY made. This all in a good little book about the Sterling guns called The Guns of Dagenham

    Thanks for the input guys. I’ll be sure to post in the right area in the future. Not sure how many of these are left in Canadaicon. I have two. Just trying to preserve a piece of history.

    A decade or so back, when the Ottawa Citizen managed to pice together a good part of the registry through access to information requests, and posted it online, I counted around 50 police carbines registered in Canadaicon. I would imagine that number will not have changed significantly. I have owned 3 over the years. Seems to me there is one on the buy/sell/trade section of this forum.
