Do you know how expensive it is to get magazines for either one? I have no idea, but that would enter my thinking. All things being equal, it would be a tough choice between those two.

M45B for the win.
I have both, the Sterling is certainly top shelf, but the M45B has the SF history of MACV-SOG, and I am an 18 Bravo at heart. 18Z50 |

Sterling for me no doubt. The Sterling mag is the best mag I've ever seen with its rollers. Very reliable and smooth shooter. I think it's the most reliable SMG I've ever played with. Not to mention it's the Star Wars blaster weapon of choice for the Storm Troopers!!! Haha

The original m/45 has a removable mag support and can use the 50-round "coffin" mags from the m/37-39, or the 70-round drum, with the support removed.

Swedish K would be my pick.
More natural mag changes, weapon shouldering, and movement with over 40 years of my muscle memory of vertical placement. Better stock in my opinion. Plus 1 on the MacVSog history connection. |

Thanks for the input guys. Please keep it coming.
What do you think the going rate is for a transferable non C&R Sterling and Swede K? Does 12k to 13k sound right? How about a Port Said? I read somewhere that they typically sell for less than a K. |

Sterling lets you get closer to the ground. Not insignificant if someone is shooting at you.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sterling lets you get closer to the ground. Not insignificant if someone is shooting at you.  Horizontal mags introduce balance issues because the CG shifts during firing. The Sterling is a smooth gun, and the mags are very easy to load. I've fired a Sterling and a Port Said, but not close enough together to compare the two. I'd probably go for the m/45. Yes, a Port Said should be less expensive than a Swedish K. |

I have both and if I was forced to get rid of one, it would be the Sterling. It's a very nice subgun, but the "K" is the smoothest-shooting SMG I have ever fired and the availability of 72-round drums makes it even better. With the Sterling you can use Sten and Lanchester mags, but having them hang out to the side is just awkward.

Wow this is tough choice. I have both and enjoy each one for different reasons. One thing you will find there are very few for sale ever! I had to wait quite a while to find both of mine as they just don't come on the market often.
Back to the difference, is this a fun toy or are you going to compete in Subgun competitions with it? (You may end up shooting prone in matches more then you realize). I personally favor the Sterling based on having a little higher rate of fire on the Subgun course over a K which is slower. Pulling doubles is more natural on the Sterling, singles are the natural pull with the K. Our normal course / section of steel target here in PA is run best in that setup. Otherwise K is more versatile with the mag options of having both the coffin and the drums. Plus a lot of folks like the vertical mag well. The K is also more iconic when you think SEAL in Vietnam, I think Stoners and Swedish k. I'm not a Star War person so the Sterling connection doesn't mean much to me. Ultimately I would highly finding a way to shoot both (Get to PA let me know). If not, you will not be disappointed with either one. Let us know what you find and go with! |

I figured asking this would get a lot of opinions. No doubt they are both excellent subguns. To answer your question, I don't be doing subgun comps with this. Although I would like to but the only competition is too far away to make it reasonable for me to do with any frequency. Thanks a lot for your input. I really appreciate it and will let you know if I get up to PA. Shooting both guns or even one would be the easiest way to figure this dilemma out! |

Both are super smooth shooters. I prefer the Swedish K if choosing between the two. The ability to use stick mags, coffin mags, and drums is great. The drums are awesome.

Both the Sterling and the Carl Gustav are top tier SMGs, so you won’t go wrong with either one of them. It will (should) come down to personal preference. This should involve firing both of them, hopefully in close enough proximity so that you can make an informed choice.
I personally prefer the Carl Gustav, due to its more conventional and familiar layout and handling characteristics, more magazine choices, including the quirky “coffin” and awesome drum, and hey, I just like the way they look better! The Sterling probably does have the best magazine of any SMG ever. The roller-follower is pure genius; I’m surprised it hasn’t been copied. |

I would vote the K.
Mainly because I like being able to add and remove a suppressor and that is easier to deal with on the K. Yeah, I know there is the integrally suppressed Sterling MK5 but I'm not too crazy about going with a dedicated suppressed SMG. OP, you should come out to the Port Malabar SMG match. There is one competitor that always brings his K and I'm sure he wouldn't mind you shooting it. There are also several guys that bring out their Sterlings. |

Guys sorry for the late response but just want to say thanks to everyone for their input. Granted Id still want to shoot both guns but think my preference is with the K over the sterling. And Amphibian, its good to know about there being someone at Malabar with a K. I do intend on going to that shoot sometime.
So as an update, I found a few mk760's locally. I know they are not Swedish K's but im going to check them out. I'd still like a K instead but if the mk760 runs and the price is right i might spring for one. I still think I will get a K eventually. |

No doubt both are great guns but I'm surprised. I figured it would be roughly 50/50 Sterling/K. Instead it's more like 20%/80%. Just browsing the various gun forms on the net, I definitely hear more talk about the Sterling which led me to believe it would be the preferred gun.

The MK760 SMGs can be hit or miss - depending on how hard they were used and how well that particular one was put together. Look at the welds first off. Cracking can be fixed but it's not ideal. Similarly you want to look at the bolt and sear - severe wear on either can be very spendy to replace. Last time I looked the bolts are over a thousand dollars to replace. The sear is under $200 I think. Quoted: No doubt both are great guns but I'm surprised. I figured it would be roughly 50/50 Sterling/K. Instead it's more like 20%/80%.

Realistically they're both great - and the MK760 can be as well. If they were all free and in front of me and I could have only one - with the knowledge that spare parts and mags were my own problem forever - I would honestly go for the Sterling just based on the fact that you can still get parts kits for relatively low prices. Mags for any of these aren't all that bad these days but obviously the Sterling mags are the best in terms of loading and feeding. Both mag designs are fantastic overall. If I wasn't worried about spare parts or extra mags or anything like that I'd simply pick the one I like best. |

I have a S+W 76 that is supposed to be a clone of the K but to my eye the K is near the very top of the Wish list.
I knew a fellow that me offered a spare one in minty mint condition but I was actually looking for a C+R original. Rotsa Ruck on that one. Should have grabbed his. Or buy a real Smith and Wesson 76 factory built "modern" K for about the same price. |

I have a K and a Sterling. Much prefer the K. The S&W and clones can be fun, but to me they arent close enough. The K has a better trigger, sights, stock and is usually more accurate than the average S&W.
The Sterling has a good thumb safety. Handle both, at a minimum. Fire both if possible. As mentioned earlier, with a K you MAY be at a disadvantage in subgun matches due to the rate of fire. Much is made about the Sterling mag. Well, OK, but they cost twice as much as the K mags and in my experience don't load or function any better. I have seen no difference in parts made in Sweden vs Port Said. Get a Wilson tube built with either kit. |

Never a 18B but a 18C for 12yrs. Everyone thinks I'm a Bravo however.

They are both great guns OP, but I have to go with the "K." I love mine.
I don't know if the practice ammo is available anymore. The sub-caliber bbl is a hoot. I don't know about the Sterling, but the "K" has a lot of neat accessories. |

Guys just want to followup on this. This is kind of a curveball here but I wound up with a mk760. It was local and a good deal. I still think I will jump on a Swedish k down the road. Anyways I want to thank everyone for their input. It will be put to good use at some point in the future.

Congratulations. I suspect that will fuel your desire for a Swedish K down the road.

Guys a very nice person at the Hernando machine gun shoot today let me shoot his a Swedish K. I was thoroughly impressed and really liked the gun. It is definitely on list of guns I will own one day. I'm still waiting on the transfer of the mk760. Hopefully I will get it in the next month or two. I know it won't measure up to the K but hopefully it isn't a huge letdown,
