Arrow Precision Still in Business?

[bladex4]

Been looking into getting a second pump and the Sterling pump markers by Arrow Precision really interested me.

However, I'm having trouble understanding whether they're still making markers or not. Their site is still up, but I don't see anywhere to purchase their markers.
Does anyone know if they're still selling sterlings? and if so, how can I go about purchasing one

Also feel free to give your opinions on the sterlings if you've ever handled one ; )
Thanks!

They've been hard to get for years. I like the design, but I think some people have had quality control issues with the newer ones.

You can get them from an Australian paintball site. The price fluctuates based on the Australian vs US dollar. I've seen the STPs from $370 to over $400, for example.

Awesome thanks for the info! I mainly liked the small design as well, but perhaps I'll have to rethink the purchase.

So I am a Sterling fan for sure. I have a 2020(I think?) Sterling STP Stock Class and it is without a doubt the best pump I have ever used and owned. It is super smooth, efficient, quiet, light, small, good looking, and versatile.

However, not being able to get parts for it is a huge pain!!! I lost my velocity adjuster and thought that was the end of easily adjusting the velocity, which it was for a long while, luckily another member here bought me three makeshift ones that work just as well. However, if you lose something on it, good luck finding replacements!

From the factory I couldn't adjust the velocity, I had to rip it apart (pretty easy) to find huge gobs of some kind of glue in the hammer preventing me from getting to the hammer screw. A couple member's markers didn't work out of the box, but they just had to adjust the trigger adjustment screw, not a big deal, but a new marker should work out of the box!!!

I have too many guns, and my Sterling is my favorite. Although, it might become my second favorite very very soon (Walz build incoming!).

I lot my velocity adjuster and that that was the end of easily adjusting the velocity

Look at Mr. Fancypants here with a Sterling you can adjust velocity on.

Wow! What a beauty, even the hardline looks slick.
Would you happen to know if the sterling 'bronze' has velocity adjustment or is that only on the newer stp's

shooter311 how was the shipping from AUS? I was in love with the new era sterling as a broke high schooler and have been debating getting a one to try messing around with open class pump with but am terrified of customs and extra costs/confiscation.

I didn't buy from Australia, I got one from the factory. but it wasn't easy: https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/p...om-the-factory

I bought mine from the place in Australia. At the time it cost me $670 shipped. I looked today and its down to $610. If I didn’t already have way to much stuff I’d be tempted to buy another one.



If you do decide to order one I’d recommend the stock class version. The internal hardline is slick and you get the stock class feed as well as a feedneck for hoppers. I have mine setup with the stock class feed but it’s nice to have the option to use a hopper.
