From its introduction the Sterlingworth was a "made for stock" gun, made to standard specifications. Here is the 1913 vintage Sterlingworth folder --

and here are the Sterlingworth pages from the 1914 A.H. Fox Gun Co. catalog --

Note that the text under STOCK always says "Full capped pistol grip only."

Just to muddy the waters a bit, in the first two A.H. Fox Gun Co. catalogues to include the Sterlingworth, "Campfire" Catalogue No. 24 (1911) 12-gauge only --

and "Campfire" Catalogue No. 25 (1912) 12-, 16- and 20-gauge --

While under STOCK they say "Full capped pistol Grip Only." they also carry the line "Any change of stock, deviating from standard length, drop, or style, additional...……………………………$10.00" net. Adding $10 to the $25 price of a Sterlingworth got one to within $2.50 of an A-Grade ($37.50) where a grip choice was part of the deal and you got better walnut and Krupp barrels.
