Ok so I think I understand everything now. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here:
-If an attachment is needed to bring a barrel to Federally legal 16" minimum length then it has to be PERMANENT. -If an attachment is needed to bring the overall length to 30" it need NOT be permanent. (So long as the barrel meets the 16" requirement) The issue that seems to be going on here has to do with an "evil feature". IMO the fixed stock should at least require a tool to render it back to normal action. I would not feel comfortable using paracord to secure it as that could easily be untied without a tool. The lock requires the key. The carabiner I would not trust as anyone could easily slip it off. I'm not saying the stock needs to be welded open but it should not be readily able to revert using just your bare hands.

I picked mine up this weekend from Bright Spot. Solved the folding stock problem by attaching the rear receiver cap to the receiver with a set screw, needs a tool now to fold up. Solved the mag release problem with a new metric M5 screw with the head ground flush with the magwell and a washer with a small opening JB welded over the mag release as a bullet button. Finger won't fit, requires a tool to drop the mag. Shortened the mag with a rod welded to the follower limiting the mag to 10 rounds.

You need a muzzle device attachment that will add at least 3.5" to get the required OAL. The OAL with stock folded is 27".

Sterling BB & fixed stock
Here is my Sterling Bullet Button design. It's my first prototype, proof of concept design.
I'm going to make a smaller version (ver #2) of it this weekend. Smaller in diameter & height. I can shorten this one by another 1/8" - 1/4", but I didn't want to ruin a working button. I took some material I had lying around and picked up some hardware from Home Depot. I used a stainless steel bolt, washer, spring from HD, the rest of the parts were from materials I had in the garage. I was worried that the aluminum tube I used to house the spring, washer, and bolt would allow manipulation of the button (someone with super skinny finger [petite female, child]). None of my fingers would fit into the aluminum tube to manipulate the mag bolt. So I topped it off with a cut down base of a nickle plated .45 ACP casing, to play it safe. The .45 ACP shell will give you a better idea of scale. I drilled out the primer hole to the size of the primer pocket. To allow a tool (cleaning rod, Allen tool) to press down on the mag bolt to release the magazine. The M5 bolt wasn't the correct bolt type for my mag catch. M5 nut would fit the factory mag button, but an M5 bolt would not thread into the mag catch. So, I found an inch bolt that fit the mag catch. As it was already stated in the thread earlier, the receiver end cap has a small hole on the bottom. I took a tap and threaded this hole for a set screw. With the set screw tightened down, you can not move the end receiver cap to release the stock.

I've been spending time trying to develop my own as well. All the easiest solutions I had reached involved drilling/tapping the magwell which I really didnt want to do. Looks good.

The Sterling Bullet Button I made requires no modification to the mag well or the mag catch (or any part of the carbine). It basically drops in and replaces the factory mag button and spring.
I need to work on the BB and refine the design a bit more, before I even think about making a few extra for others. |

I've been on the prowl for one of these to install on a 9mm Sterling pistol. All the prototypes I have seen include drilling the mag housing in some way to install.

I had an issue with my Sterling today!!! Broke the tip off of my firing pin just after I got her all sighted in!!!!!
But I am already more than satisfied with Wise Lite Arms response to my e-mails for assistance. I e-mailed them and they responded very quickly and are going to have their Senior Sterling Tech call me Monday (they are closed fridays) to get my info to ship me a replacement firing pin. I hope I dont have to ship the gun back to them because it sounds like it could get "iffy" on whether they will ship it directly back to me!!! I just want to get it up and running again - like this =

A link to save: Sterling SA parts https://www.apexgunparts.com/index.php/cPath/83
The have semi auto firing pins ($30), but I'm not sure if they are Wise Lite Sterling Sporter compatible?? |

WLA is covering everything under the 1-year warranty.
REDHORSE - I am almost certain the majority of those parts are made by WLA themselves so they should be compatible.

My solution...
I used a smal bolt and nut to disable back cap catch and thus prevent back cap from fully sliding forward. Fixed mag by replacing spring with metal sleeve so button cannot be pushed in, then load ammo from the inside. To load ammo, I made a metal piece to hold bolt open. It will be like this for now until I (or someone else) come up with a BB. |

calico9mm - very ingenious! Never thought to feed the mag like a fixed mag SKS! And you just drilled a small hole into the end cap release?
What magazine are you running in it - a 10 rounder or did you block your "rebuild kit" to 10 rounds? WOW - this website is just full of people with good ideas and different ways of fixing the same problems!!! SWEET!!!!!!

Yup drilled a small hole, I think bolt is just 0.060 diameter. Mag is blocked to hold 10 rounds only.

I haven't posted pictures of current one I did, a little smaller than what I posted here.
I made and extra one for my buddy, plus he has all my notes and measurements. I'll see if I can make another one.

Awesome. I <3 the OP. Somewhere some anti-gunner is reaching for rolaids. This sterling does NOT spell relief.
