S&T Sterling MK5 (L34A1) Airsoft Rifle

The S&T Sterling MK5 (L34A1) is a highly realistic replica, using Steel for the majority of the externals, with the exception of a Polymer Pistol Grip and a Real Wood Handguard.

This S&T airsoft weapon features an Integrated Suppressor, which can be unscrewed for access to the "Outer/Inner Barrel Assembly".

The Handguard is a ribbed block of Real Wood that has a Dark Stain for a realistic feel and colouring.

The Receiver features Integrated Sling Loops at the front, side and rear, allowing you to utilise a Two-Point sling for easy carrying, and use of a secondary.

The Folding Stock is functional, and can be folded down underneath the SMG just like the real thing. Simply depress the back of the Receiver and fold the Stock away underneath the Gun.

The Ironsights on top of the Gun are fixed in place, but the rear sight can be set between a standard ring and one more suited to strong light, perfect for playing in brighter conditions.

The Fire Selector on the Pistol Grip offers Safe, Semi and Fully Automatic Firing Modes, which allows you to either take careful, aimed shots, or waste the enemy from the hip.

The Sterling MK5 features a Rotary Style HOP Unit, which is externally accessible through a hole in the Receiver, found in front of the Trigger Guard. This can be used to apply backspin to your BBs, and keep them in the air for longer. This is ideally set at the site you want to play at, with the BB weight you're going to use on the day.

Your Battery should be installed in the rear of the Gun, accessed by depressing the rear of the Receiver, folding the Stock away, rotating the Receiver End Cap and pulling it away from the Gun. Inside you will find a Mini Tamiya Connector, and enough space for a 7.4v LiPo Block Battery.

To buy an airsoft weapon in the UK you must have a valid airsoft defence.

This is not a licence, it is basically just proof that you intend to buy an airsoft weapon for use in airsoft.

An airsoft defence could be a UKARA or membership with the British Airsoft Club, and various other forms of defence.

You can only obtain an airsoft defence once you are over the age of 18.

To get an airsoft defence the law is that you should play at least 3 games of airsoft, and that you must have been playing for at least two months.

You can still buy an airsoft gun without a defence, provided you are 18 or older. If you choose to do this we would, by law, two tone (paint in a bright colour) parts of your chosen weapon. This is because an airsoft gun is considered a RIF aka Realistic Imitation Firearm, because they are so close to the real steel, whereas when you paint parts of it in a bright colour it becomes an IF aka Imitation Firearm. The reason being that the bright colours make it look less realistic to the public, and therefor less likely to be mistaken as real, were it to be used for any other purpose than airsoft.

When you order a gun from us you will need to add your defence details in the comments section of the cart. If you do not have a defence you will need to write the colour that you wish to be used for two toning your airsoft weapon.

Here is what's stated in the VCRA (Violent Crime Reduction) Act:

For airsoft skirmishing, the Association of British Airsoft is putting in place arrangements to allow retailers to check that individual purchasers are members of a genuine skirmishing club or site. The key elements of these arrangements are:
1. new players must play at least 3 (three) times in a period of not less than two months before being offered membership
2. membership cards with a photograph and recognised format will be issued for production to retailers
3. A central database will be set up for retailers to cross-check a purchaser’s details
4. member’s entry on the database will be deleted if unused for 12 months.
The defence for airsoft skirmishing can apply to individual players because their purchase of realistic imitation firearms for this purpose is considered part of the “holding” of a skirmishing event.
