DZelenka Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 What would be the correct finish for a C&R Sterling Mk II? Flat black or wrinkled black? assume it is an export model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTRS-14.5 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) All I have seen are flat blk from WW2. The two originals that just came are amnesty guns and are finished this way. Edited March 11, 2016 by PTRS-14.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Iannamico Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 As I recall from Peter Laidlers "Guns of Dagenham" book... The military guns were flat black, commercial - police guns had the crinkle finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuge Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 The flat black is definitely nice. Here's a transferable replica of a 1958 military Sterling L2A3 made by Rick over at CPS. He uses black Duracoat over parkerizing to resemble the original Suncorite finish used for the Sterling military guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3bobby Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Just to add, originally commercial guns had the wrinkle finish and the majority had a KR or S prefix serial number. Any UK military gun would be Suncorite black and have a UF or US prefix in the format UF58 A1234. Many users such as New Zealand refinished their guns in Sunc after a refurb. I've also noted some NZ Sterlings in a park finish only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
