I always appreciate how much you know about this stuff. I've actually fired a British sterling at a range and can attest that they're pretty nice to shoot, given that it was an 80 year old gun. Thank you! I didn't know how common it was to have a singular stamped piece of metal for the receiver and barrel shroud.
