310 pages, Hardcover with a dust jacket. 371 illustrations. An in-depth history of the small arms made by the Sterling Company of Dagenham, Essex, Enland, from 1940 until Sterling was purchased by British Aerospace in 1989 and closed. The Lanchester and the Patchett Machine Carbine were both developed at Sterling Engineering Co. Ltd during World War II. With the appearance of the earliest Patchett Prototypes the military began testing them in ever more rigorous trials, wherein the Patchett kept proving its merits. This led to limited UK adoption of the MkII Patchett as the L2A1 in 1953, and the "first Sterling", the MkIII, as the L22 IN 1955. Then came Sterling's "Crown Jewel", the superb Mk4, adopted as the general-issue UK "Gun, Sub-Machine, L2A3" in September, 1955. Manufactured briefly but intensively by ROF Fazakerley (1955-1959) and by Sterling for over 30 years, nearly 400,000 were made. Unlike wraparound bolt designs like the UZI, the Sterling was capable of being truly silenced with standard 9mm ball ammunition (as opposed to being merely "suppressed"). The excellent silenced Sterling-Patchett Mk5, adopted as the UK L34A1 in 1967, is the only Sterling remaining in British Service. All prototypes, militry Marks, commercial and licensed production models of the Sterling are described, including the Canadian C1 SMG and the Indian 1A Carbine. Contains notes on manufacturing methods and procedures as used at Sterling, ROF Fazakerley, Canadian; Arsenals Limited, and the Indian Small Arms Factory, Kanpur (Cawnpore), plust extensive notes on inter-model interchangeability, serial number ranges, quantities produced, client-country purchases of the various Sterling Marks, and accessories. Long out of print. A Very Fine As New copy that would be very difficult to duplicate.

243 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Almost 350 illustrations. This book is intended as a companion to the three-volume omnibus title The FAL Rifle, which comprises our original studies titled North American FALs (1979), UK and Commonwealth FALs (1980), and The Metric FAL (1981), initially published as three separate volumse. It is assumed that most purchasers of this new book will already have access to a copy of The FAL Rifle, and therefore we have taken care to ensure that as much as possible of the material herein is new and previously unpublished. New material on various aspects of the FAL rifle has been coming in since shortly after the initial appearance of the The FAL Series. Although received too late for inclusion in the original three volumes, all of this has been carefully archived in contemplation of just such a follow-on book as this. The first part of this book is a new retrospective on the prototypes and ordered models of the FAL as produced by Fabrique Nationale (FN), following the chronological arrangement used in The Metric FAL, which deals with the FAL models of the various countries by inital ordering date. The FAL OREA maintenance manual occupies the central ten chapters of this new book. Very logically laid out with a complete, illustrated breakdown of all the parts within each component group, the manual first establishes a set of inspection standards, and then follows up with detailed repair and replacement procedures for each component, including unbreeching and breeching the barrel. The evolution of the FAL rifle design, is evident throughout the FAL OREA manual. Next we revisit the story of how the FAL was redimensioned and redrawn for production in non-metric oountries. The book concludes with an authoritative retrospective on barrel threads, barrel interchangeability, and official rebreeching instructions for the Canadian C1/C1A1 and British L1A1; an illustration of the investment cast FAL components - including the "type 4" receiver. Very detailed. An excellent study.
