Sumatra Stinger Carbine

Does anybody own one of these rifles?

I must admit they are new to me but I have been offered one and wanted to know what people thought of them before making a decision.

Hope somebody can help.

thanks

Can't comment on the stinger but I have a Career 707 and it's "The Mutt's" it horses for courses though I personally love mine.

Sounds like it was named after a curry.

Is it the 10 shot in line mag or the newer 6 shot rotaery mag type.

Is it an FAC Rifle or sub 12 ftlb one that you have been offered.

I had one that i got in a deal with two air tanks.

The one i had the smallest grub screw i have come across locking the power adjuster wheel up.

So i had to see what it was doing didn`t i so i loosened the grub screw and got my crono out.

With the power wheel at min it was doing 11.8 ftlb and with the wheel at max 80 ftlb i nearly **** myself.

I had it a few months then sold to a farmer that didn`t give a **** he said its never going off my farm so **** it.

I did like the gun for its looks and it being very accurate and the power adjuster wheel could be very handy.

I was very impressed with the shot count with it having two air tubes it holds 400cc of air giving over 200 shots per fill.

There is a gunsmith i spoke to in staffordshire and he said that parts are not a problem and he could sort my gun out with a new air transfer port and a few other bits.

So any repairs don`t seem to be a problem.

The one I have been offered is a sub 12ft/lb with the 6 shot rotary mag.

I couldnt find very much info on them on the internet.

How did you find the underlever action ?

The under lever winchester style was fine especially when prone you can cock it with out taking your eye off the target very handy if you need a second shot.

 

I have just googled the gun and there`s loads on there and a lot on the review center.

There`s a few vids on YOU TUBE on them to.

They are a lot of gun a bit expensive but you get what you pay for.

 

Just make sure that the power is not over 12 ftlb.

If its the newer 500 model it means it holds 500cc of air so you should be looking at 250 to 300 shots per fill.
