Maremont/New England Group M60 Belt Fed General Purpose Machine Gun, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable

Lot 339

Maremont/New England Group M60, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable

This is an example of the M60 belt fed machine gun as manufactured by the New England Group of the Maremont Co. Developed in the late 1950s, the M60 was designed as a general-purpose machine gun (GPMG), a single weapon to replace as many different .30 caliber machine guns in the Army inventory as possible. The M60 was deployed as the chief infantry machine gun for Vietnam, along with a variety of air, ground, and water vehicle mountings. While other designs started to fill the infantry niche from the 80s onward, the M60 is still a frontline automatic weapon with American and allied armed forces. The barrel is equipped with a fixed blade front sight, elongated bird cage flash hider, and swiveling bipod. The receiver trunnion is fitted with the quick release hardware for the barrel, manufacturer's marks, serial number and folding ladder rear sight. Fitted with a ventilated barrel shroud, ribbed forearm and pistol grip, and a plastic buttstock with a flip-up shoulder rest.

Colt "Grenadier" M16A2/M203 Rifle and Grenade Launcher Combo, Class III/NFA -A) Colt M16A2 Selective Fire Rifle, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Lot 340

Colt "Grenadier" M16A2/M203, Class III/NFA Machine Gun/DD

Developed in the early 1980s, the M16A2's parameters were mostly driven by requests made by the United States Marine Corps. These requests included alterations to the stock and forearm, integration of an adjustable rear sight, closing off the bottom of the birdcage pattern flash hider, and swapping out the full auto fire mode for a three round burst mode. These were the signature weapon of the U.S. armed forces through the end of the Cold War and up to the War on Terror. This particular example is in "Grenadier" configuration, with an enlarged handguard acting as the mounting point for a M203 grenade launcher (more detail in Item B) and a flip-up ladder sight graduated to 250 meters, and a folding post and peep sight clamped to the carry handle graduated up to 400 meters. This combo served as the "big stick" of American infantry squads for decades, providing near-instant firepower while also allowing the grenadier to defend themselves if confronted by a threat unsuitable for a grenade. Elevation adjustable post and fully adjustable peep rear sights, with an A2 pattern flash hider on the "C MP 5.56 NATO 1/7" marked HBAR profile barrel with bayonet lug and aforementioned enlarged handguard. "C/M" is cast into the carry handle, with a round button style forward assist and casing deflector integrated into the upper, and a M16A2 marked lower with "SAFE"/"SEMI"/"BURST" markings around the right handed selector. Fitted with a checkered pistol grip and fixed buttstock. The bolt carrier is marked "C" and the bolt head "MPC", both matte finished. Both the safe and semi-automatic positions work as marked, with the internals configured to produce a two-round burst instead of the A2-standard three on the "BURST" setting.

Scarce Sterling Mark III Submachine Gun, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun, with Accessories

Lot 342

Sterling Mark III, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Developed towards the end of World War II, the Sterling Submachine Gun was the direct successor to the STEN as Britain's go-to main line submachine gun, in active use through the 1950s and into the 1990s. An evolution of the tubular receiver design exemplified by the British STEN and German MP-40, the Sterling had a reputation for reliability and accuracy, and was adopted by a number of military and police units as their close quarters battle weapon. Post front and two-leaf peep rear sights, with a bayonet lug on the ventilated heat shield, Sterling markings on the magazine well, checkered pistol grip, "A/R/S" selector, and an underfolding buttstock. The bolt is fitted with a fixed firing pin and integral spiral fluting, with electro-pencil "broad arrow" and "crossed pennants" markings on the side and a dual-spring recoil assembly.

Originally developed in the late 1960s, the S&W Model 76 was designed to fill the niche of a lightweight and compact 9mm SMG after the American special forces community was cut off from sources of the Carl Gustaf M45 "Swedish K" SMG; the Swedish government, neutral in the Vietnam War, was uncomfortable with their exports being used in the conflict. Fixed blade and peep sights on the tubular receiver, with an ambidextrous "FULL"/"SEMI"/"SAFE" selector switch, checkered pistol grip and a side folding buttstock with rubberized covering.

Lot 344

Auto-Ordnance Model 1928 Thompson "A" Range Class III/NFA C&R MG

Manufactured in the 1970s/1980s as part of the "A" suffix serial range, the Auto-Ordnance 1928 Thompson is virtually a perfect reproduction of the vintage Tommy Gun. One of the signature weapons of U.S. history, the Thompson was one of the great "heavy metal" submachine guns, operating semi or full automatic on an open bolt, fully machined with fine hardwood furniture; the later sheet metal guns may have had them beat for cost effectiveness but not for style. Blade front and folding ladder peep rear sight, with the signature Thompson-marked Cutts Compensator and cooling fins on the barrel, horizontal foregrip and rear pistol grip, and a quick-detach buttstock. The trigger group is fitted with a set of selector and safety switches, and the receiver has the Auto-Ordnance patent info on the right and military-style nomenclature on the left. The magazine slot is configured for drum magazines and stick magazines. Internals follow the general 1928 pattern.

Lot 345

Colt Model 63 Rifle with XM177 Muzzle Device, Class III/NFA MG

An export/commercial variant of the Colt Model 629 rifle, the Model 639 closely emulates the "XM177E2" designated variant associated with Military Assistance Command-Vietnam Special Operations Group (MACVSOG) operators in the late 1960s, with a short barrel and telescoping buttstock for compact size and a proprietary sound moderator/flash hider designed to alter the report of the carbine and maintain proper back pressure to cycle the action. This variant was manufactured in very limited quantities and subject to increased scrutiny after the muzzle device was designated as a silencer by the BATFE; most owners discarded the device and didn't bother registering it, but this one has the device in place (see Item B for more info). Elevation adjustable post front and windage adjustable 2-leaf peep rear sights, with "C MP C" on the underside of the barrel, no bayonet lug, a round ribbed handguard, and a "C" and "H" marked upper with short casing deflector and teardrop forward assist. The lower receiver has the "AR-15" logo and "MOD.639" markings on the left side of the magazine well, with a fenced magazine catch, checkered pistol grip, one-piece buffer and a two-position telescoping buttstock. Included with the lot is a Beta Company C-Mag double drum magazine.

U.S. Inland M2 Carbine, Class III/NFA C&R MG

Introduced late in World War II, the M2 Carbine was designed to work both as a factory-made machine gun as well as an armorer upgrade to the extant M1 carbine; this flexibility allowed armorers and arsenals to rapidly swap M1 and M2 components as needed to fulfill TOE requirements. This example left the United States at some point and re-entered the country via Interarms, with their mark present on the right side of the barrel. "R" marked blade front and "PI" marked adjustable rear sights, Inland "4-45" barrel, and a factory original "M2" model marking on the receiver ring. Fitted with an "AI" marked round bolt, Inland milled trigger housing, "H.I." hammer and selector switch, "Q" operating rod, "E.I" flip safety and M2 magazine catch, with the other internal components unmarked.

Historic and Excellent Documented Rock Island County Sheriff's Department Colt Model 1921 Thompson Submachine Gun, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Lot 348

Rock Island Shipped Colt 1921 Thompson Class III/NFA C&R MG

One of the most famous submachine guns in the world, the Thompson rates as one of the truly signature American weapons. While advancements in manufacturing techniques and materials would allow later designs to match or exceed the Thompson's performance, none of them have managed to do the job with the same level of style and craftsmanship. The Thompson, a product of old-school hand craftsmanship, is virtually synonymous with the Roaring 20s and the Great Depression, being found on both sides of the law during the "gangland" era of American history, and also serving on all Allied fronts of World War II, where it stood tall among its more cost-effective stamped steel substitutes. The records in Herigstad's "Colt Thompson Submachine Gun" (page 892) show this 1921 as having been shipped as part of a two-piece order to the Rock Island County Sheriff's Office in Rock Island, Illinois, on September 24, 1930. Rock Island was one of the notable gateways to the American West, and, like many law enforcement agencies, the Rock Island Sheriff's Department opted to upgrade their firepower to meet the hazards of the Prohibition and Depression era, including organized crime and motorized banditry. Part of the departmental folklore was that the two Thompsons in the sheriff's inventory were confiscated from notorious gangster, blackmailer, political operator and lawyer John Looney, whose rampage of crime ran from 1897 to 1925. Originally arriving in Rock Island to work as a train dispatcher, Looney reinvented himself as a lawyer and politician. Whether he was good at either depends on your definition of "good"; he won relatively few of his clients' cases but got them indebted to him in ways useful for a criminal ,and he was generally more effective at blackmailing politicians than working alongside them. After a failed run for the State Legislature, Looney decided the local paper, the Rock Island Argus, was responsible for his failure and decided that destroying people's lives was better business than representing them; he started a rival newspaper, the Rock Island News, which served as his personal blunt instrument. The News would dig up dirt, invent dirt whole cloth, or manufacture it's own dirt (a favorite tactic was to have a photographer lying in wait while a lady of the evening in Looney's employ would throw herself at the target), extracting healthy "kill fees" from people wanting to keep their good name out of the mud. From a start of relatively simple fraud in government, Looney's criminal activity in the Quad Cities area can be best described with the words "diverse" and "endemic"; precious little crime was below his notice, and if it happened along this particular section of the Mississippi River he had a finger in it. His eventual downfall began in 1912, when a conflict with the mayor escalated from words to a violent beating in City Hall, and clear up to a multiple day riot and 30 days of martial law in Rock Island. Skipping town for a few years, Looney came back and tried to reassert himself in Rock Island, and, while he was able to carve out his territory again, conflict with rival crime groups (many former Looney associates who struck out on their own when the boss bailed out) resulted in the death of his son. The final nail would be the murder of a local saloonkeeper who tried to go to the feds when he became upset with increases in the amount of protection money he was paying. While no evidence put Looney at the scene, his henchmen who actually did the deed named him as the leader, resulting in his arrest in 1925 and a 14 year sentence (about 8 1/2 served) in Stateville Prison. On release, he headed to the Southwest, passing on in Texas in 1942. Looney would become part of the legend of the Quad Cities, and later gain wider notoriety via the graphic novel Road to Perdition, later made into a 2002 feature film with Tom Hanks portraying a fictional prohibition-era triggerman and Paul Newman as the boss (renamed "John Rooney" in the adaptation). Reports indicate that the Sheriff's Department only purchased the two Thompsons, one being liquidated in the 1970s to pay for equipment upgrades and the other released in 2006 through our auction house to raise funds for a local animal shelter. Blade front sight on the unmarked Cutts compensator and folding Lyman rear sights, standard 1921 nomenclature and markings on the receiver, with the matching numbered trigger housing fitted with knurled control surfaces and proper "FULL/AUTO"/"SINGLE" and "FIRE"/"SAFE" switch configuration. Internals are proper 1921 pattern, with Blish Lock mechanism, heavyweight recoil spring, and spring steel oiler. With dual pistol grips and a quick detach buttstock with a small "anchor" stamp on the front, "RI CO" scratched into the left side, and a metal tag marked "PROPERTY OF/COUNTY OF ROCK ISLAND/No.08959" on the left near the buttplate. Included with the lot is one Auto-Ordnance 50-round Type "L" drum magazine.

U.S. Savage Model 1917 Lewis Gun, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun with Accessories

Lot 349

U.S. Savage 1917 Lewis Gun, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable

Developed by Issac Newton Lewis, a U.S. Army officer, the Lewis Gun was one of the lightest machine gun offerings of its era, coming in at 28 pounds with the distinctive barrel cooling assembly included. Unable to sell the gun to his superiors, Lewis resigned and took off for Belgium, where he made a tidy profit licensing the design to Birmingham Small Arms and Savage Arms. Among other distinctions, a Lewis Gun would be the first machine gun taken on a powered aircraft, and it saw very active use in World War I, though primarily with the other members of the Entente Powers. Ironically, the American design mostly stocked European arsenals due to Ordnance Department politics, with a reported 6,000 of these .30-06 caliber Savage manufactured M1917 Lewis Guns ordered during World War I by the U.S. Navy for the Marine Corps, and 2,500 by the U.S. Army, with the .30-06 caliber Chauchat and Hotchkiss 1909 machine guns issued overseas to the American Expeditionary Force in France instead of them, which caused some dismay among the troops who had trained with the favored Lewis Gun stateside. Blade front and folding peep rear sights, knurled steel barrel jacket, and aluminum cooling fins surrounding the barrel. Both the pistol grip and buttstock are smooth hardwood. The top of the receiver bears the U.S. nomenclature and a small "crossed cannons" stamp, with the Savage address and caliber marking on the top cover and additional Savage markings on the right side. Included with the lot are three total magazines (two standard 47 round, one high capacity 97-round for aircraft use), magazine winding tool/loading tool, clamp-on sling swivel, clamp-on anti-aircraft sight, clamp-on bipod, rare heavy duty rigid field mount clamp-on bipod, an extra gas piston and an assortment of vintage Lewis Gun Ordnance manuals. Consignor states this J. Curtis Earl owned gun comes with a loading tool used in the sting operation that attempted to capture Pancho Villa. Provenance: The J. Curtis Earl Collection; Property of a Gentleman

Buffalo Arms M2 ".30 Cal" Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable

Manufactured by the Buffalo Arms Corporation, the M2 .30 Cal saw use during World War II as aircraft armament for both fixed wing and flexible mounts, such as the rear guns on the Douglas Dauntless dive bomber and the PBY Catalina flying boat. It also earned fame in its unofficial squad automatic weapon variant on Iwo Jima, where the Marines had a limited number of M2s customized for ground fighting, known as "The Stinger". A Browning MG variant, the M2 .30 Cal essentially back-ported some of the features implemented on the .50 BMG M2 to the smaller form factor, with a significant rate of fire, reversible feed, and multiple trigger options. No fixed sights, with a ventilated heat shield, left-handed feed configuration, and the maker's markings and nomenclature on the right sideplate. A long cocking handle is fitted to the right side, with a pair of smooth "spade" grips and a knurled thumb trigger. A tripod and T&E mechanism are included.

U.S. Winchester 1918 BAR, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable

Developed and introduced in 1917 (and designated the 1918 to prevent confusion with the Model 1917 machine gun), the Browning Automatic Rifle became a signature American weapon for generations, seeing limited action in World War I, on both sides of the law during the "Public Enemy" era of crime, and heavy use in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Offered here is an early production example manufactured by Winchester in early 1918, with their production serial numbers reportedly commencing at 64001 and this example bearing serial number 66287. Blade front and folding ladder rear sights, with "W/(flaming bomb)/1-19" marked on the top front of the replacement barrel with eagle and flaming bomb Ordnance proofs at the breech. A set of British proofs are present on the right side of the receiver and barrel, the latter also bearing caliber and pressure stamps. The top of the receiver bears the 5-line Winchester nomenclature starting with the early "BROWNING MACHINE RIFLE" and ending in "PATENT APPLIED FOR", with "F A S" pattern (semi/full/safe) selector mechanism with the spring loaded catch to keep the operator from accidentally putting the rifle on "safe" when flipping to full automatic, and the early pattern trigger housing which lacks the magazine guide "wings" introduced after World War I. Fitted with a checkered hardwood forearm and a smooth pistol grip stock with a steel buttplate. Included with the lot is a brown leather sling, tan canvas gunner's belt, three canvas magazine pouches, cleaning tools, and five extra magazines.

Chinese Type 56, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable MG

Initially manufactured using equipment and information supplied by the Soviet Union in the 1950s, the Type 56 is China's version of the famous Kalashnikov-designed assault rifle. Manufactured for both domestic military use and export, the Type 56 was seen at many global flash points during the Cold War and beyond, probably most famously in the hands of the People's Liberation Army during the Vietnam War. This Type 56 uses an early pattern forged receiver with integral trunnion and has been outfitted with a Soviet-style front sight base and gas block; it does not have the traditional Chinese "pig sticker" spike bayonet or a lug for mounting a Soviet knife bayonet. Post front and tangent rear sights, with a threaded muzzle, "66 in triangle" marking next to the serial number on the left side of the receiver, and matching numbers on the dust cover, recoil spring guide, bolt carrier, bolt and gas cylinder. Sling mounts are present on the left side of the gas block and receiver, with a smooth forearm, checkered pistol grip, and smooth buttstock with steel buttplate.

Lot 353

Siemens & Halske MG 08/15, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable

A variant on the Maxim machine gun, the 1908/15 was a go-to standard for the German Army during World War One, deployed to great effect across countless miles of trench work, turning avenues of approach into deadly obstacles. While still a beefy, water-cooled monster, the 08/15 had improved tactical mobility with the use of a simplified solid bipod and buttstock assembly instead of the large "sled" field mounts of the day, trading off the stability and versatility of the mount for the ability to adjust angle and reposition much faster. Blade front and tangent rear sights, with a combination flash hider and recoil booster on the front of the water jacket, a checkered pistol grip, and a fixed hardwood buttstock. The arsenal marks and "1918" date are present on the top cover, with the charging handle on the right side, the tension adjustment mechanism on the left, and a safety switch next to the pistol grip. Also included is a water jacket assembly for a different Maxim model, featuring on-board blade and ladder sights, a carry handle, and WWII-pattern folding bipod.

A fine piece of craftsmanship, the MP34 is a fine exemplar of the final generation of hand-fitted, precisely machined sub-machine guns, which would give way to the mass-manufactured, machine stamped, utilitarian line of the Sten, MP40 and their descendants.

Brunn MG34, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Developed prior to World War II by Heinrich Vollmer of Mauser, the MG34 machine gun was a mainstay tool of German forces through the full duration of the war. A machined steel beast, the 34 was a very versatile weapon, suitable for vehicle use, support fire from a sturdy folding tripod, or in rapid tactical movement from a bipod or fired by the shoulder. While later models were more efficient, banking heavily on stamped components and simplified designs to speed production, the MG34 was never fully retired before World War II came to a close, with the 34's method of barrel removal (the receiver rotating to the right, allowing the barrel to be shifted straight back) making it especially suitable for use as a coaxial weapon in German tank turrets. Folding blade front and ladder rear sights, with an adjustable flash hider at the muzzle, a folding bipod, ribbed grip panels, and a hardwood buttstock. The installed barrel housing is marked "dot/1944/1835/e" with matching numbers on multiple components; the bolt assembly is electro-penciled to a different weapon.

A refined and streamlined successor to the MP38, the MP40 made extensive use of metal stampings and synthetic materials to make a weapon robust enough to withstand the stress of war while being simple enough to manufacture to keep up with the demand. Nearly every armed branch and paramilitary organization in Germany made use of the MP40, and many also found their way into the hands of opposition forces such as the French Resistance and Poland's Home Army, making it one of the signature weapons of the war.

Rare and Exceptional World War II Erma MP.38 Submachine Gun, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Lot 360

Erma MP.38, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun

This is an exceptional example of a seldom seen fully transferable MP.38 submachine gun, complete with a rare original leather bolt retention strap; a safety feature added to the MP.38 due to issues with this model being prone to accidental discharge when the bolt handle was bumped while in the forward position, prior to the introduction of the improved two-piece bolt handle and notch as seen on this example. The guns themselves are uncommon, and surviving original leather bolt retention straps are far and few between. Produced from 1938 to 1940, the MP.38 was in active use during some of the earliest aggressive action of World War II in Europe, and saw active use on all fronts; no doubt many were destroyed through the rigors of service or captured on the Eastern Front as the war went on, leaving few examples to be captured by American GIs on the Western Front, and fewer still on the American market in high condition. The immediate forerunner to the MP.40, the MP.38 marks a transition point between the more intricate and expensive machined steel and wood submachine guns of World War I and the inter-war years with the more efficient stampings and drawings that would typify the World War II European machine gun. They were produced by three factories including Erma Werke, Haenel and Steyr, with this example produced by the Erma Werke factory in 1940. Often misattributed to Schmeisser, the MP.38 set the tone for German submachine guns through the end of the war, and the MP.40 would closely follow the blueprint it set. The main changes between the models were A) streamlining the design to speed production and reduce reliance on machined components and B) introducing the two-piece charging handle to improve the drop safety of the weapon, an issue with open bolt submachine guns worldwide versus a flaw with the MP.38 itself. Blade front and two-leaf notch rear sights, with all matching serial numbers and "eagle/280" proofs on the barrel, receiver, socket, and several other components. The MP.38 receiver tube shows the distinctive fluting down the length, with holes through the sides of the magazine well and "I.A.C./AUSTIN/TX" on the underside, and the socket is marked "M.P. 38/27/1940", with an early alloy grip assembly. The bolt assembly has been retrofitted with the MP.40 style two-piece charging handle, with an appropriate notch added to the bolt raceway. Fitted with a set of matching number bakelite grip panels, an underfolding steel stock, brown leather sling and a brown leather bolt retention strap. Included with the lot is an extra magazine, three loading tools, and a modern case.

Extremely Rare World War II German C.G. Haenel MKb 42(H) Machine Carbine with Sheet Metal Sniper Scope Mount and ZF41/1 Sniper Scope, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Lot 361

WWII German MKb 42(H) Carbine, Class III/NFA Transferable MG

This rifle is probably the rarest and most desirable of all the World War II fully automatic weapons we have had the opportunity to sell, as the MKb 42(H) is truly the grandfather of the German Assault rifles, as well as any follow-on assault designs produced after World War II, including the vaunted AK-47. Consequently, this would be a pivotal piece in any advanced World War II German or military assault rifle collection and is probably the only fully registered, fully transferable MKb 42(H) available for sale! The story for this rifle really started in 1935-37 with the requirement from the German high command to develop a new intermediate-range 7.92mm cartridge. That design was completed and finalized in 1938 upon which the Heerswaffenamt issued the requirement for a new fully automatic assault rifle to be developed using this new intermediate-range cartridge. In 1939/40 the C.G. Haenel firm was tasked with producing a prototype design using the 7.92mm Kurz round. Not to be outdone, Walther also decided to develop and submit a prototype design on their own to compete with Haenel for a future contract. Both rifles looked somewhat similar, with the Haenel design eventually being accepted as the superior weapon. It was truly a revolutionary design in that it used a short operating rod housed inside a full-length gas tube, located above the rifle barrel. The tube was connected to the barrel via a front gas block which bleed off gases to cycle the action. The rifle was quite unique in that it was mostly fabricated from sheet metal stampings and a limited number of machined parts; basically the bolt, barrel assembly and some springs. The design was well received by the German high command and Haenel was awarded a follow-on contract for further production development of this weapon. This rifle design was continually improved upon throughout the war and eventually evolved into the MP 43/44 designs issued to various Waffen-SS troops during the Battle of the Bulge. The Mauser factory continued to improve the design which finally evolved into the last configuration which was the "StG 44". As part of this follow-on work the Haenel company included in this weapon a new design made up of two small bumps or bulges on each side of the rear sight base. These bulges would form the base of a yet to be developed future sniper scope/mount design. This new scope mount followed the same concept as the Mk 42 rifles in that they were truly a flat sheet metal design, folded and welded with minimal machined parts. They were actually more of a shooting aid than a true sniper scope/mount. These stamped sheet metal sniper scope mounts are extremely rare with only a handful even known to exist today. There is a fairly detailed write up on these early super rare rifles and the even rarer "sheet metal" sniper scope mounts in the book "The German Sniper" by Senich on page 369-381. This weapon is fully functional and is marked on the left rear side of the receiver: "M.Kb.42(H)" with a small "fxo" manufacturers mark on the underside of the receiver. There is a small import mark on the underside of the front portion of the receiver. It has an all blued wartime finish with a walnut stock. The ultra rare, sheet metal scope mount is an original World War II version that is correctly unnumbered, and correctly stamped on the left side with an intertwined "M/W" surrounded by a wreath. This proof mark is the factory mark of the "Merz-Werke" of the Merz Brothers, Frankfurt. This company was the prime producer of stamped receivers for the MP43/44 rifles. The scope rings are even steel stampings that screw into a threaded nut located on the mount itself. The scope is also an early all blued version marked with "ZF 41/1" on top of the tube. This rare assault rifle is accompanied by one original "MKb/42" marked magazine, one "MP43" marked magazine, two "MP44" marked magazines, a reproduction canvas/leather triple magazine pouch, and is fitted with an original leather sling.

Rare Portuguese Contract German BSW MG-13 Light Machine Gun, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun with Accessories

Lot 362

BSW MG-13, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Introduced in 1930, the MG-13 light machine gun was a descendant of the Dreyse Model 1907, discarding the water jacket and belt feed in favor of an air cooled barrel and magazine feed for a lighter and more tactically maneuverable weapon. The MG-13 was the standard light machine gun of the late Weimar Republic and early days of Hitler's rise to power, and would see use during World War II as a weapon for second-line troops. The MG-13 was also adopted by Portugal as the M/1938, where it saw action as late as the Portuguese Colonial War in the 1960s/1970s, and by the Nationalist Chinese (who received them as standard secondary armament with Panzer I tanks from Germany). Folding blade front and tangent rear sights, with a long conical flash hider mounted on the heat shield ahead of a folding bipod and swiveling carry handle. The right side of the receiver ahead of the ejector port bears the Portuguese crest over "1938", with "B-960" marked on the receiver box. The underside bears the address of VSM of Cincinnati, Ohio, a manufacturer and importer of NFA items, along with a 7.92mm caliber marking. Mechanically the weapon operates from a closed bolt, with the recoil spring and tension mechanism integrated into the top cover and a dual-action trigger (semi-automatic upper, full automatic lower) controlling fire mode, smooth pistol grip and a side-folding buttstock with hinged and padded buttplate. A large number of accessories are included with the item, including a German-proofed anti-aircraft tripod, a metal ammo can, twenty-three extra magazines, three extra barrels, one barrel transport case, and a steamer trunk.

Lot 1341

Beretta 92F Pistol with Matching Snap-On Silencer, Class III/NFA

This is a very scarce Pietro Beretta Model 92F that has been factory modified with an external slide lock and an extended barrel to use with the KAC Snap-On 9 mm silencer. This design of pistol was developed in the late 1970s at the request of the Navy initially and then later the U.S. Army. The basic M92F pistol was used to which a one-piece yoke was attached to the underside of the pistol. It was hinged on two screws at the front end, with the rear end swinging up and down. At the rear of this yoke mechanism was a locking lug that when pushed upwards would engaged into corresponding notches on the underside of the slide. This would prevent the slide from cycling when the pistol was fired which made it much quieter. Very similar to the original concept used during Vietnam on the S&W Model 39s, a.k.a. the "Hush Puppy" as the Navy SEALs used them to eliminate guard dogs. As noted the pistol is also fitted with an extended barrel designed for use with the KAC silencer. This scarce pistol comes with its original Beretta blue plastic case with a manual and a number of plastic wipe inserts for the silencer. There are several references to this pistol design and KAC silencer noted on pages 303-305 in the book "The U.S. Military Automatic Pistols 1945-2012" by Meadows.

Lot 1343

U.S. Saco M60 E3, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

This is an excellent example of the M60 belt fed machine gun as manufactured by the SACO Defense Division of the Maremont Co. Developed in the late 1950s, the M60 was designed as a general-purpose machine gun (GPMG), a single weapon to replace as many different .30 caliber machine guns in the Army inventory as possible. The M60 was deployed as the chief infantry machine gun for Vietnam, along with a variety of air, ground, and water vehicle mountings. While other designs started to fill the infantry niche from the 80s onward, the M60 is still a frontline automatic weapon with American and allied armed forces. The E3 variant was introduced in 1986, intended to reduce weight and make the weapon more maneuverable. The barrel is equipped with a fixed blade front sight, bird cage flash hider, and swiveling carry handle. The receiver trunnion is fitted with the quick release hardware for the barrel, manufacturer's marks, serial number and folding ladder rear sight. The gas tube is outfitted with an adjustable bipod and a trimmed-down forearm with a forward pistol grip. Fitted with a checkered pistol grip, ambidextrous safety and a plastic buttstock.

Highly Desirable Knight's Armament Co. Stoner Model 63A Modular Light Machine Gun, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Lot 1346

Knight's Armament Stoner 63A, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable

One of the many notable products of American arms designer Eugene Stoner (of AR10, M16/AR15, and AR-18/180 fame, among others), the genesis of the 63 was in the early 60s, shortly after his departure from Armalite. Working with Cadillac-Gage, Stoner developed a modular weapon system, intended to be capable of a radical degree of customization at the field armorer level, creating a receiver that could be reconfigured rapidly for mission and environment; while a number of modern weapons designs have touched on this sort of flexibility, this was an exceptional capability for the era. Developed with an eye for military sales, the 63/63A was issued on a trial basis in multiple configurations to the United States Marine Corps and select elements of the Navy SEALs and U.S. Army Special Forces operating in Southeast Asia. The system was not adopted for general use; while it had many virtues, and was considerably refined with user feedback, it was more complex and maintenance intensive than the M16 rifle. While development stopped in 1971, the design found fans among America's elite units, especially in the Light Machine Gun configuration; the Stoner LMG gave belt-fed firepower and suppression ability at a significantly lower weight than the standard M60 machine gun, which meshed well with highly mobile small unit tactics. Around 4,000 are believed to have been made in total mostly by Cadillac-Gage, many of which were destroyed after the 63A was replaced by the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon. This desirable example is built on a fully transferable Knight's Armament manufactured receiver, marked "STONER 63A CAL. 5.56MM/MFG. BY KNIGHT'S ARMAMENT CO./VERO BEACH, FLA.," of which only a small amount were ever produced. Features a winged post front and adjustable flip-up peep rear sights. A quick-release lever ahead of the feed cover allows rapid detachment of the barrel, fitted with a wood carry handle, with a non-reciprocating charging handle on the right side of the receiver. The trigger group is fitted with a checkered polymer pistol grip and a straight buttstock with a "STONER/63" marked buttplate with a right handed selector switch marked "SEMI" and "AUTO" (fires open bolt full auto in all positions). As currently configured, the feed mechanism draws in the belt from the left side, ejecting the loose links to the right and the brass to the left. Included with the lot is a green plastic belt carrier.

Lot 1347

Prototype Armalite AR-18, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable

Manufactured by Armalite in Costa Mesa, California, this AR-18 rifle shows a number of features that set it apart from the majority of AR-18 production. The receiver lacks provisions for a dust cover or scope block, the guide rod assembly terminates in a single hook instead of the spring-loaded retention mechanism seen on later production, and the bolt carrier is grooved down the right side and lacks the "keyed" charging handle slot to fit the later "bent" charging handle. The frame uses different mechanisms for securing the stock, with a spring catch on the underside of the stock to release from the "open" position, and a round stud (with no spring retention) to secure the stock in the "closed" position. Adjustable post front and two-leaf rear sights, with a 3-pronged flash hider, left-handed selector switch, ribbed forearm and smooth "AR-18" marked pistol grip.

Lot 1348

Armalite AR-18 "Shorty/Carbine", Class III/NFA C&R MG

An excellent example of an original and very scarce fully-automatic Armalite AR-18 rifle manufactured by Armalite in Costa Mesa, California. Designed after Armalite had sold the patents for the AR-15 rifle, the AR-18 went in completely different directions in terms of materials and function. This resulted in a short-stroke gas piston driven selective fire rifle, with a lightweight stamped steel receiver assembly and a recoil system that permitted a folding stock. Despite being a promising design, the AR-18 wound up overshadowed by the "older brother" and large military contracts or license deals never arrived like they did for the AR-15 family, resulting in a very limited production. Somewhat infamously, two of the most prominent users of the Armalite AR-18 were both sides of "The Troubles" in Ireland, being adopted by both Loyalist militia units and some factions of the Irish Republican Army, the latter embracing the arm to the point of it being the namesake of the "Armalite and Ballot Box Strategy" of the late 1980s. This particular AR-18 was featured in the article "The Lost Armalites" in the July 1998 (Volume 1 Issue 10) edition of Small Arms Review and can be seen in a half-page spread on page 48; a photocopy of the article is included with the lot. Features a winged post front and adjustable two leaf peep rear sights, with a conical flash hider, maker's marks on the receiver, matching serial numbers on the receiver and frame, and the ambidextrous three position safety selector on the frame. The bolt carrier has a groove running across the right side, with a projecting stud to interface with the dust cover; this is in contrast to the more common AR-18 carrier design, which instead has a short groove for the dust cover. Fitted with a ribbed and vented plastic handguard, smooth plastic pistol grip, and a side folding plastic buttstock. Includes an extra magazine.

Lot 1351

Colt Model 1921A Thompson SMG Class III/NFA C&R Machine Gun

One of the most famous submachine guns in the world, the Thompson SMG rates as one of the truly signature American weapons. While advancements in manufacturing techniques and materials would allow later designs to match or exceed the Thompson's performance, none of them have managed to do the job with the same level of style and craftsmanship. The Thompson, a product of old-school hand craftsmanship, is virtually synonymous with the Roaring 20s and the Great Depression, being found on both sides of the law during the "gangland" era of American history, and also serving on all Allied fronts of World War II, where it stood tall among its more cost-effective stamped steel substitutes. Per the records in Herigstad's "Colt Thompson Submachine Gun" (page 106), this Thompson was part of a 30 piece order shipped via the American Railway Express Company of New York City, care of George Gordon Rorke and F. Williams of NYC on May 27, 1921, as a component of Invoice #2085, an order for 390 Thompsons. While normally this would be a good sale for an arms company, it led to a massive scandal. As would emerge in federal court later, Rorke (an American arms dealer, who acted as the point man for ordering the guns) and Frank Williams (aka Lawrence DeLacy and Lawrence Pierce, the money man) were part of a conspiracy to smuggle a large quantity of automatic weapons into Ireland for use in the Irish War of Independence, which fell apart when inspectors discovered a cache of 495 weapons concealed in the coal bunkers of the steam ship "East Side" (also listed as “Easthide” in some sources) in June of 1921. Running from 1919 to 1921, the war ended in a military stalemate but a political victory for then-Southern Ireland, with the Anglo-Irish Treaty of December 1921 securing their independence as the Irish Free State, today the Republic of Ireland, with North Ireland (already legally partitioned) remaining part of the United Kingdom. The time of the attempted delivery of this Thompson Gun was the peak of armed violence in the conflict, with approximately 1,000 civilian and combatant fatalities from January through July, eventually leading to a truce and negotiations for a peaceful settlement. While these negotiations were ongoing, both the direct members of the conspiracy and several corporate officers of Auto-Ordnance were indicted by a federal grand jury, including Colonel Marcellus Thompson, VP of Auto-Ordnance, son of the inventor General John Thompson and son-in-law of American Ambassador to Great Britain Colonel George Harvey, as the transport of these arms was in direct violation of American neutrality laws. Auto-Ordnance survived the incident and would go on securing fame and infamy with the Thompson Gun. Somewhat ironically, once the Irish Free State was independent and no longer at war with the United Kingdom, there was no obstacle to them receiving Auto-Ordnance’s product; Herigstad’s listings give this as one of a number of Thompsons which made it to Ireland, returning to the United States via Interarms in 1956. The exact use of the Thompson in Ireland is unknown, though some are known to have seen military and police use in the Free State. Blade front and folding Lyman rear sights, the former installed on the fluted barrel. The standard 1921 nomenclature and markings are present on the receiver, with the matching numbered trigger housing fitted with knurled control surfaces and proper "AUTOMATIC/SEMI-AUTOMATIC" and "FIRE"/"SAFE" switch configuration. Internals are proper 1921 pattern, with Blish Lock mechanism, heavyweight recoil spring, and spring steel oiler. With dual pistol grips and a quick detach buttstock. Also present is an extra buttstock, minus mounting iron and buttplate.

Very Scarce and Excellent Winchester Reference Collection Documented World War II U.S. Johnson Automatics Model 1941 Light Machine Gun, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun, with Extra Magazines and Accessories

Lot 1353

U.S. Johnson 1941, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable

Developed to act as a squad automatic counterpart for the Johnson semi-automatic rifle, the 1941 machine gun shares a number of the rifle's distinctive features, particularly the short-recoiling barrel assembly installed inside a ventilated heat shield. The rotary magazine has been changed out for a side-mounted magazine well, with the loading door and clip guide retained to preserve the ability to "top off" the detachable magazines from clips. The front handguard has been shortened to make room for a quick detach metal bipod (bipod included), with the quick release barrel catch/accelerator still in place. The action has been changed from a pure closed bolt semi-auto to a dual function mechanism, firing from closed bolt in semi-auto mode and switching to open bolt operation in full auto mode; in operation, this permits controlled and accurate aimed semi-automatic fire while also providing improved cooling and reduced risk of "cook off" during strings of heavy automatic fire. Finally, the stock and grip assembly are reconfigured to accept the new fire control mechanism and provide increased comfort when firing prone off the bipod. Taken as a whole, the Johnson machine gun shows a number of virtues as a squad automatic weapon; light weight, good maneuverability, provision for barrel swapping, and (especially in conjunction with the Johnson rifle) the ability to share ammo and parts with squad mates. Unfortunately, the Johnson never saw large-scale acceptance, as the 1918 Browning Automatic Rifle already had its foot in the door as America's automatic rifle. Much like the Johnson Rifle, the machine gun was accepted as a substitute weapon by the United States Marine Corps due to a shortage of BARs in the early days of the war, seeing use with the Marine Raiders and the Paramarines. The Johnson also found fans with the famous First Special Service Force, which found that the agile weapon was a good fit for their fast and aggressive tactics. The five-line, two-block address and patent marks are present on top of the receiver, with the Cranston Arms "triangle" marking on the right side near the buttstock. The walnut foregrip, grip panels and buttstock on this factory retained example are hand selected walnut. A rectangular metal tag marked "W 121" is affixed to the left side of the trigger group, an inventory tag for the Winchester Factory Collection, once used as a study piece for their engineers; an included copy of "Inventory of the Winchester Firearms Reference Collection" by Johnson, Burton, Pugsley, Hall, et. al., identifies this scarce Johnson LMG by its serial number "2881", along with its barrel number "8492K", as item number 2017 in the Winchester Collection (page 296). A prominent blade front sight is installed on the barrel with "30-06/'41" on the flange. The trigger housing is numbered to match the receiver, with a right side mounted selector switch with "AUTO", "SAFE", and "SEMI" markings. Internally, the housing contains both a hammer and a bolt sear, switching between them for semi-automatic and full automatic operation, respectively; switching from semi to full causes the bolt to lock back next time it is retracted, and switching from full to semi causes the bolt to immediately fall closed. Included with the lot are thirteen (total) stick magazines, tan canvas sling (proper length for the Johnson), instruction manual and an extra barrel.

Colt 1921/28 Navy Thompson, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable

Originally manufactured by Colt as a Model 1921 Thompson SMG, one of a number stuck in inventory due to sluggish sales; while today the Thompson is recognized as an American classic and one of the all-time finest "heavy metal" SMGs, at the time it was a novel, untested and expensive weapon, and few were willing to roll the dice. The U.S. Marine Corps was an early adopter, and the firm attempted to capitalize on the connection by adding "U.S. NAVY" markings to their 1921s, updating the features based on USMC feedback, and overstamping the "1921" to "1928" to match their newer model. According to Herigstad's "Colt Thompson Submachine Gun Serial Numbers and Histories" (page 863), this particular Thompson was shipped to the Sheriff's Office of Umatilla County, Oregon as a single item on October 4, 1934. It would later be recorded in a private commerce starting in 1983. Included are copies of the 1934 registration for this Thompson with the Sheriff's Office of Umatilla County and 1983 registration transferring the Thompson to an Oregon couple, as well as an April 1934 mailing card from Art Burnside Sporting Goods of Spokane, Washington, informing Sheriff of Umatilla County R.E. Goad that the Thompson would soon arrive and offered to sell the sheriff ammunition at a discounted price. Art Burnside was the maker of the Oregon boot shackle, a prison restraint fitted to the prisoner's foot. Blade front sight on the unmarked Cutts-style compensator and a folding Lyman rear sight, showing the signature cooling fins on the barrel, dual pistol grips and quick-detachable buttstock with a small "anchor" on the front. The left side of the receiver has the aforementioned "U.S. NAVY" model markings ahead of the 5-line address and caliber markings, with the Thompson "bullet" logo on top and the Auto-Ordnance address and 6-line patent markings on the right. The trigger group is numbered to match the receiver on the underside, with separate selector ("FULL/AUTO" and "SINGLE") and safety ("FIRE" and "SAFE") levers. The internals are of the 1928 pattern, with the reduced spring and spring guide and correspondingly heavier bolt assembly, with brass Blish Lock and felt padded oiler. Included with the lot are two 50-round Type "L" drum magazines, one 20-round stick magazine, two extra barrels, extra buttplate and bolt components, and a number of related documents, including manuals and historical information. Provenance: Sheriff's Office of Umatilla County, Oregon; Oregon couple; Property of a Gentleman

U.S. M37 Fully Automatic Class III/NFA “SALES SAMPLE” Light Machine Gun with Cradle and Tripod

Lot 1357

Saco Lowell - M37 Class III/NFA "SALES SAMPLE" MG

This is an example of a post war production M37 machine gun. This model was developed in the late 1940s/early 1950s by SACO-Lowell Division and was basically an updated/improved Browning 1919 MG. Improvements were made to the bolt and feed mechanism that allowed it to be switched from a left to right hand feed, which made it a perfect candidate for use as a coaxially mounted tank machine gun. They were primarily used on the M48 and M60 Patton medium tanks. It was also still employed in a flex-mounted version as an infantry weapon when equipped with the standard sights mounted on top of the receiver with a tripod, pintle and T&E mechanism. It has the standard medium weight barrel with a perforated barrel jacket with this example being a "flex-mounted" version as it is equipped with the tangent rear sight and a side mounted cocking lever. The side of the receiver is marked: "No.5694 U.S. INSP. RBA/GUN MACHINE CAL .30 M37/U.S. PROPERTY/MFD. BY SACO-LOWELL/SHOPS/BA4 - 4\69". It is stamped with an importers mark directly behind that.

Japanese Type 99 Mark 1 20 Millimeter Aircraft Autocannon, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Lot 1358

Japanese Type 99 Mark 1 Aircraft Autocannon, Class III/NFA C&R

Developed in the 1930s, the Type 99 was the go-to 20mm autocannon for Japanese military aircraft, serving as the wing guns, flexible mounts and powered turret mounts on a number of Japanese fighters and bombers, including the A6M "Zero" carrier-launched fighter of Pearl Harbor fame. Like many combatants on both sides of the Axis/Allies divide, the Japanese design directly follows the pattern established by the Oerlikon autocannon, using an advanced primer ignition (API) mechanism to reduce the amount of breech locking needed to fire the potent 20mm cannon round while also permitting a high rate of fire. This Mark 1 cannon is configured for the flexible defensive mount role, with the mounting point for the (not included) ammo drum on the underside to keep it out of the gunner's line of sight, and an ejector port shroud to direct the spent casings to the shooter's right. A heat shield assembly protects the back half of the barrel, the recoil spring, and the bolt extensions, with a ratcheting hand-cracked charging mechanism on the right side. The left side of the trigger housing bears the Japanese model nomenclature, with dual pistol grips and a slot on the back for installing a (not included) buttpad. Sights absent.

Mauser "Schnellfeuer" Broomhandle, Class III/NFA C&R MG

Introduced due to competitive pressure from Astra's Spanish-made Broomhandle pistols, especially in the lucrative Chinese market, the 1932 Schnellfeuer took everything people loved about the Broomhandle and cranked it to 11. The result was a compact machine pistol, which could be reconfigured to a carbine as needed, feed from 10 and 20 round detachable box magazines (without sacrificing clip loading), and could either tap out single rounds semi-automatically or let rip at 900+ RPM on full auto. Needless to say, the target audience (China) went for it wholeheartedly, and sales only terminated when Japan joined the Axis Powers, making export to any of the Chinese factions (who essentially fought the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Chinese Civil War simultaneously) unacceptable. Schnellfeuers are also known to have been used on both sides of the Spanish Civil War, as well as being used as a secondary Wehrmacht sidearm as well as by the Waffen-SS. The mechanism is controlled by a spring loaded selector switch on the left side of the frame, with "N" (semi-automatic) and "R" (full automatic) marked positions. Blade front and tangent rear sights, with the three-line Mauser address markings on top of the chamber and right side of the frame, with a "crown/crown/U" proof on the chamber and twelve groove grips. Included with the lot is a hardwood shoulder stock with matching numbered mounting iron and a brown leather harness.

Lot 1360

DWM 1908 Maxim Gun, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable

Manufactured in 1918. A licensed copy of the Maxim Gun, the MG08 was a mainstay heavy machine gun with German forces leading up to and throughout World War One, used to great and brutal effect in the trenches, where the belt fed ammunition and water cooled barrel could maintain a volume and duration of fire unmatched by manually operated weapons. While changes in strategic doctrine devalued water-cooled guns in the Weimar years, the MG08 still had a niche in fixed fortification defense, not fully retiring until the end of World War II. Blade front and folding ladder rear sights, with the manufacture marks and date on the receiver cover and a round deflector plate mounted behind the flash hider. A mount for an optical sight (sight not included) is installed on the left sideplate above the tension adjustment device, pair of checkered "spade" grips and a "butterfly" thumb trigger at the rear, the latter with an attached lever for deactivating the thumb safety. Added to the bottom rear corner of the left sideplate is the "bullet" logo of Charles Erb, noted restorer of NFA items. A steel "sled" field mount is included, along with two extra barrels, a leather barrel case, and a spare bolt.

Soviet Model 1940 Mortar, Class III/NFA Destructive Device

This is an example of a very rare and seldom encountered WWII Soviet mortar. The 50 mm Model 1940 (50Krh/40) was produced in large numbers, and it was a popular and effective weapon that could be easily and inexpensively manufactured, as its base plate and bipod were simple steel stamping. In operation, the intention was to have the barrel at one of two known firing angles, with fine adjustment of range via a set of vents controlled by a collar at the base of the tube. The bipod integrates a screw-operated elevation adjustment and a screw-operated leveling mechanism.

The left side of the receiver bears the German nomenclature, as well as the markings "NORMAL" and "SCHNELL" next to the rate of fire selector switch, the former producing between 450-550 rounds per minute, the latter around 750-850. The underside is marked to indicate that rebuild/repair work was performed by Stump Armament of Harlan, Kentucky. A set of folding grips are on the combination trigger assembly/charger, with a three position safety switch with safe, semi-automatic and full automatic settings. Included with the lot are two metal boxes containing a number of spare parts, including top covers, trigger assemblies, and others.

German MG-34 Machine Gun, Class III/NFA "SALES SAMPLE"

Developed prior to World War II by Heinrich Vollmer of Mauser, the MG34 machine gun was a mainstay tool of German forces through the full duration of the war. A machined steel beast, the 34 was a very versatile weapon, suitable for vehicle use, support fire from a sturdy folding tripod, or in rapid tactical movement from a bipod or fired by the shoulder. While later models were more efficient, banking heavily on stamped components and simplified designs to speed production, the MG34 was never fully retired before World War II came to a close, with the 34's method of barrel removal (the receiver rotating to the right, allowing the barrel to be shifted straight back) making it especially suitable for use as a coaxial weapon in German tank turrets. Folding blade front and ladder rear sights, with an adjustable flash hider at the muzzle, a folding bipod, ribbed grip panels, and a hardwood buttstock. Components are mixed, with the barrel housing marked "BSW/1939/1326" (Berlin-Suhler Waffen), the receiver bearing a "WaA63" (Mauser) proof over serial number "7450".

Lot 1365

Gustloffe "dfb" MG42, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable MG

One of the signature weapons of World War II, the German MG42 machine gun was one of the best infantry weapons of the war, blending portability and intense firepower, while also being more streamlined in production than earlier weapons. Dubbed "Hitler's Buzzsaw" and "the Linoleum Ripper", the MG42's high cyclic rate of up to 1,200 rounds per minute gave it a distinct and intimidating sound, very alien to American and Commonwealth troopers trained with and around slower-firing weapons; at that speed, individual gunshots are replaced with a steady, disturbing roar. Along with firepower, the MG42 provided versatility, able to serve as a fixed position weapon like the U.S. M1919 or as an individually wielded weapon during tactical maneuver like the American BAR or British Bren Gun. The 42's life went on after the war, continuing in service with the West German armed forces rechambered for NATO-standard calibers, and being used alongside the FG42 as inspiration for the development of the American M60. Folding blade front and tangent rear sights are installed on the full length barrel shroud, along with a screw-on flash hider, folding bipod, and a quick-release barrel mechanism. A machined trunnion connects the stamped shroud to the stamped receiver, which bears the manufacturer markings on the left side, with a set of ribbed pistol grips, two-position push-button safety switch, and a synthetic buttstock. Included with the lot is a tan-painted folding field mount, green painted anti-aircraft tripod, four extra barrels, slings, bolts, bipods and other extra parts.

Erma EMP Submachine Gun, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable

Developed by Heinrich Vollmer in the 1920s, the EMP was the end result of many years of experimentation by Vollmer with the clandestine support of the Weimar German Reichswehr; once that support ended, Vollmer sold out his designs to Erma Werke, who marketed the gun under the "EMP" (Erma Maschinenpistole). Under Erma's banner, the EMP saw action on both sides of the Spanish Civil War, was exported to Mexico and Yugoslavia, and saw domestic use with police formations and the SS. Patterned after the MP28, Vollmer's design is typical of the "transitional" SMGs between the heavy metal guns of WWI and the tube guns of WWII, using a tubular receiver with a hardwood stock. One critical feature introduced by Vollmer was a captive telescoping recoil spring assembly; later applied to the MP38 and MP40, this captive assembly kept the spring fully contained and protected from damage, easing maintenance and handling for troops in the field. Blade front and two-leaf rear sights, with the "eagle/N" proof and "EMP" on the receiver socket, and matching serial numbers on the socket, magazine well, and bolt. A two-position "F" and "S" marked safety lever locks the bolt either fully open or closed when engaged, with a "E" and "D" (semi/full) selector switch on the right side of the trigger guard, and a takedown lever at the rear of the trigger guard. The selector switch works in conjunction with a two-stage progressive trigger; "E" restricts the trigger to semi-auto only, "D" permits semi-auto fire with a light squeeze and full auto with a harder pull. Smooth pistol grip stock with a vertical hardwood foregrip, 98k style sling cut, and a smooth steel buttplate.
