Sterling Model 302 Magazine?
« on: March 05, 2003, 04:58:16 AM »
Where is the best place to locate a replacement magazine clip for my little stainless Sterling "Pocket Gun"?
 I picked it up to clean and shoot it a bit, and the plastic floorplate just disentegrated...
 Thanks,
 ZVP

As you probably know Sterling Arms is long gone. I live in the town where they were made. Let me check at some of the local gun shops and see what i can find out.

Bob,
 Thankyou!
 If ya find anything out, please e-mail me, OK?
 I really like this little pocket gun,i first of all, it is made of Stainless Steel,  and it has all the attributes 'Ol Emer Kieth put up for a good carry pistol, reliability of function, accepts any brand of ammo, and best of all, "in his words"... It has to feel like an old bar of soap!
 The little Stainless Sterling  Auto sure enough does that!
 No sharp edges at all!
 Thanks again!

Checked the local gun shops this morning. Know one seems to know where you can find a clip. I'm  not done yet. Two more places i'm going to try.

Thanks AGAIN Bob!
 I may have to fashon the broken floorplate out of some thin aluminium sheet I have.
 Simple enough, as it is nothing more than an elongated toumbstone shape...
 A mornings time, a Dremel, and a hacksaw oughta do it!
 Thanks for all your help, really appreciate this!

Finally found a gun shop that would take the time to see if these clips were available. He says Numrich Arms lists them in their latest  catalog. Says give them a call and see what they have to say.

Bob,
 Thanks, I totally forgot about them!
 I will get on it, as I really like the little pistol, and being the "sort" of pistol it is, ya want reliable functioning!
Thanks very much for all your searching!
