Well, I'm not Vern, but, After I found additional pictures, the trigger housing looks wrong. This is likely because this is a softgun and they need space for the gearbox, but still. I would say this is the biggest flaw in this model.

And there is no flat area in front of the bayonet lug.

Overall, it looks weird... Like a mix between the L2A3 and the MGC, with also self interpretation of some parts. Everything looks a bit off: the trigger group, "S-?-R" markings instead of "A-R-S" for the fire selector, handle shape, inner bolt, rear sight, folding stock cross junction, muzzle to barrel junction, bayonnet lug area, ...

Still better than a Hasbro but not better than the Doopy in my opinion.

It's not perfect, but taken for what it is, they did a pretty good job on it. I imagine the sterling because of it's slim and somewhat odd design, is pretty hard to make into a functional air soft gun. So some changes have to be made to accommodate.

I suppose it can be made. But we don't know what compromises they had to do. Maybe settle with a smaller gearbox and weaker motors than they would have wanted.
