Sweet dam that’s $450 US as of right now only blue and black left in the SC STP tho.

[flyweightnate]

Wow...

I'm surprised some enterprising individual hasn't bought them all to distribute here. Four for the price of a T2 is quite the steal.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Cuz this isn’t BookFace lol

Thanks for posting this! I have been on the fence about picking one of these up for the past 6 months but this is a great deal. Just jumped on the Blue Stock class one.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I really like mine. It definitely needs a longer barrel then the stock one because barely clears the handle making it hard to aim for me. I found myself shooting with the Stock barrel. But I just grabbed a freak back and a AA tip I’m excited to give a try it’s 14” overall I think it’s going to work a lot better. Make sure you break it down clean it and re oil. Mine was shooting low velocity (on 12g). They have been sitting for a while. I got a really low production number. It was only like 4 or 5 off of Brian’s. I’m Curious what number you get.

Interesting, I wonder how long these have been for sale on this website before MCB found them? That was my plan as well, that's why I passed on the freak bored stock barrel option.

On a side note, this will be officially my first ever New marker.

[nerdcore]

Great. I just bought mine late last month and now this. Well I'm not buying another one!

[Luscious]

I recently contacted Powerball / Arrow Precision. UK made marker, but none of the UK stores stock it. Its almost like they don't want to sell any? I simply asked the question "How much are your STP's and what colours do you have in stock? A week later I got a response "What are you looking for?". It wasn't a complicated question was it? Bought a Phantom instead.

[Spec]

Jumped in too. Got a purple STP and a used Lada for cheap. Wish I'd got some springs. Dang it, this is Sterlings 5 and 6 for me. I love them, then their facepalm design choices drive me crazy. When will I learn? Anyone know where I could get a vert asa or gas through parts?

[Loophole]

Down to only one Black Stock Class STP.

All other colors are sold out!

[Loophole]

Has it been that long? I could of sworn last time I checked a month ago they still had red,green, blue, black and maybe one other color?

[Chuck E Ducky]

I got the last red.

[nerdcore]

I guess I got the last green

[Chuck E Ducky]

I think they only had a few of each in stock to begin with. I’m pretty sure their stock went from haven’t moved in years to shipping them all to the US lol. Mine was definitely sitting a while the box had some miles on it.

[Hobbes]

The sale is over now. I think it was for Easter.

[fullofpaint]

I bought the last black stock class one I think, blah color but maybe I'll try out that cerakote shop everyone's talking about.

[Twisted G]

That gold Sterling is so damn good looking! One day I will be the man with the golden gun! .

[SignOfZeta]

I bought a gold one when the AUD turfed out. I absolutely love it, perhaps it is my best gun. Pumps like a dream and absolutely gorgeous. I have no idea WTF is wrong with Arrow and why they seem to not want to sell these fantastic guns. The STP ver is, IMO, better than a Phantom or a Sniper and also way cheaper.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I would say the fit and finish isn’t as nice Ano is thin and finish is more of a semi gloss, it also Definitely benefits from an aftermarket barrel.

The way you can switch up the ASA layout is super cool. It’s very versatile like the Phantom. The pump action is ware it really shines. It’s just so buttery smooth and light. It’s like there is nothing to it. The stock barrel is unported and loud I sprang for the freak bore option since the wire detent just prevents double feeds. The 14” AA Freak I put on my STP helped quite it down and give it a better sight picture from behind it. With the stock barrel you can just barely make out the tip over the handle while aiming. I found myself shooting high a lot first time out because of this. After putting the 14” you can now get a good look down it. I’m sure you could get use to this but I for sure needed a longer barrel then what was provided. Mine is currently shooting low on 12g (260 FPS maxed out) haven’t tried HPA yet. So I need to source a stiffer main spring hopefully the hardware store has something. They look pretty basic. But it’s not cocker and not phantom. It probably don’t need much but I would like some adjustment. I am shooting some pretty crappy paint so I haven’t tested consistency but it’s ball on ball at 260Fps. I’m really happy with it so far. I’m going to do a good efficiency test on it. Just picked up a Big Red to get some solid numbers. I’m hoping for 30+ @280 in 60*+ this thing will be my new main if I can get some decent numbers out of it.

Not sure if it’s got what it takes to knock my Phantom off its pedestal but it’s definitely got some potential. I need more trigger time with it and get it tuned up to 280fps. Then I can see how she dose. But I can say it feels great in your hand and it’s probably the only marker that has matched the CCI Revolution when it comes to light smooth pump stroke. With the gas threw it feels and point very MVP but with the the ability to run 12g and comes setup for Stock class out of the box. Speaking of the stock Class feed it can be orientated to both rock forward and rock back (for you SC heathens), and it feeds great. Took no time at all to get a good rhythm down. Over all marker gets an A from me so far. Now I just got to sources proper springs for it and tune her up for 12g play. The parts kit that came with it only had one main spring and it’s the same stiffness as the one in it.

Any Sterling Gurus got any off the shelf Spring options?

Edit: guess I should have looked harder FrankW seems to have figured out the proper spring combo here for 12g play.

How is the trigger pull? I couldn't get used to the trigger of the Revolution but that's exciting to hear how light the pump stroke is. Mine is in the air as we speak. Excited to get it all setup. I will probably run this in a Hawaiian 12 gram setup with the springs setup like FrankW has.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Trigger pull is a lot like a Phantom but with trigger stop adjustments. So you can set it right at the catch point so there is very little up take. You will like it I’m sure it feels great to shoot. I got a few sets of springs coming hopefully I can get the velocity up and see what kind of numbers I can get out of it. I was hoping I could give it a good run at OSG’s pump day tomorrow but I’m going to wait for the springs. I got other goodies that need some trigger time.

[SignOfZeta]

I put a Freedummy wedgit in mine, changed nothing else. I LOVE how LOUD it is.

[Chuck E Ducky]

He makes spyder ones? I tried on my other STP and the hole it sits in was too small. I have cocker ones tho.

[SignOfZeta]

Well, he doesn’t make anything anymore, but a long time ago I ordered a bunch and even though I only had OG Sterlings at the time I thought I may get an STP some day so I got some Spyder ones and I eventually did, and it works perfectly for me.
