    I just received mine from gunbroker.Very nice looking weapon and pretty accurate. Not very comfortable but it’s not meant to be.If you love military weapons you gotta have one of these. They are destined to be one of those guns you wish you had bought after they go out of production.The magazines are surplus and the internals look unused but old, the exterior is nice enough.Overall I give it a 4 1/2 star rating out of five.

    I found out that they are being made by Wise Lite Arms. NOT MADE BY CENTURY, just distribted by Century… Wise Lite is known for their good quality builds. wise lite does not have them on their web site, but they can be purchased at centerfire systems, or jg sales. for under $575 with one mag. mine is on it’s way!

    the Century rep you talked to must not have known very much as they had two samples in their tent at the Knob Creek show at the beginning of April, and two of these guns have already sold on Gunbroker through Phoenix Distributors.

    I called Century. The person answering the phone said that there is no anticipated date for their arrival. They have never had even a sample so far and cannot predict if it will be a month, a year or ever. I was really disappointed that they were advertising something that doesn’t appear to exist. Does any one know who is supposed to be building them for Century?

    I think I will buy all of them.
    I will have one to shoot. One to sleep with. I think I will make a lamp out of one. I might gold plate one for the bling of it! I will want one for the car, the barn, the geeerage, the dog house and the sh:tter. I think I will paint a few of them either pink or blue depending on what we have and give em out to all my boys as gifts when the babys born. Yea, that’s the ticket! I will have one for every day of the year to shoot and the rest I will put in the safe to keep unfired so as to deprive anyone else who might want one from having one and when the ban hits I’ll be a PR**K and sell them off for 10 times what I paid for them. Who the hell really cares?

    I am very interested in adding the Semi Auto Sterling to my gun collection. I have always loved the look of the Sterling. When will it be avaliable in the U.S and how much is it going to cost? I would probably want to have a few of these in my collection, one to shoot one to keep unfired.

    Ive checked the century arms web site and there is no mention of the sterling, any idea when it would be avalible for retail sale?

    The serial number listed is a factory one so the mag well is from a parts kit. One can only assume the rest would be from parts kits. To make a proper Sterling from scratch would be much more expensive than using surplus parts easily obtainable.

    I was curious if this is brand new or refurbished from parts kits? Thanks
