Catco M60 Squad Automatic Weapon, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun, with Extra Barrels

Lot 369

Catco M60, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

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 front-line 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 and a folding ladder rear sight, with the Catco address and serial number on the left side of the receiver. Fitted with a ventilated barrel shroud, ribbed forearm and pistol grip, and a plastic buttstock with a flip-up shoulder rest. Included with the lot are three extra barrels with bipods and a pintle unit.

U.S. Springfield M14 Selective Fire Battle Rifle, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Lot 370

U.S. Springfield M14, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable

One of the signature weapons of the Korean War and early Vietnam War, the M14 was an attempt by the Army to make an infantry weapon that could replace the M1 Garand, Springfield 1903, and Enfield 1917 rifles for general issue, the Browning Automatic Rifle for support fire, and the M1 carbine, M1 SMG and M3 SMG for close quarters brawling. While a fine rifle, it was pulled in too many directions at once, being too bulky to act in lieu of a SMG or carbine in tight areas, but too light to serve as a proper squad automatic weapon. While production wound to a halt in the 1960s, the M14 has had a noteworthy "afterlife", and is still in service with the U.S. and abroad in specialist roles, including combat sniper/designated marksman roles, competition shooting, and other select purposes. As a result, the M14 is in the odd situation of being both the longest serving rifle in American inventory (beating out the Springfield 1903) and having the second shortest service life as a primary infantry rifle (coming in second to the Krag rifle). Compared to the M1 Garand, M14s on the civilian market are vanishingly rare; most M14s ended their U.S. service life by being gifted to a friendly nation, seconded to law enforcement or similar agencies, or being destroyed, and very few were registered in accordance with the NFA. Fitted with a "NM 062" front sight on an "NM" and "SAK 8-65" marked barrel with drawing number "7791362", "520" eye cup mounted on an "NM" rear sight staff, "NM/2A" sight wings, "NM" windage and "WC-E" elevation drums. The bolt is marked "JJ", with a "SA" hammer and trigger housing. Fitted with an unmarked pistol grip stock. Some extra components (bolt, rear sight assembly, trigger housing and transfer bar) are included.

Colt M16A1 Selective Fire Rifle in 7.62x39mm, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Lot 371

Colt M16A1 Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Introduced in 1967, the M16A1 (aka the Model 603) would be the standard issue rifle for the United States Army and Marine Corps until the 1980s. Developed from end-user feedback on the M16, the M16A1 introduced the "fenced" magazine catch to reduce the risk of accidentally ejecting the magazine during handling or movement, the forward assist upper receiver and bolt to help close a bolt that is obstructed by fouling or residue, and other minor adjustments. This example has been fitted with an A4 pattern upper marked "COLT 7.62x39" on the left side, with a JP tank-style muzzle brake on the "C MP 7.62X39 1/12 HBAR" barrel, KAC pattern quad rail forearm with Knight's brand vertical grip and cover panels, a detachable carry handle assembly, ARMS-M16 A1A2 rail, and an Aimpoint CompM dot sight. The lower receiver has the standard markings, with "SAFE", "SEMI", and "AUTO" positions for the right handed selector switch, checkered pistol grip, and a fixed buttstock. The bolt carrier is in proper full auto condition, with a matte gray head marked "7.62" with electric pencil.

Desirable Group Industries Model 1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Lot 372

Group Industries 1918A2 BAR, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable

Manufactured with a Group Industries receiver and military components, this is a commercial continuation of the Browning Automatic Rifle as used by US armed forces from World War II onward. First introduced at the tail end of World War I, the BAR was the forefather of the modern "squad automatic weapon" concept, a lightweight machine gun as an organic part of a small infantry unit, capable of maneuvering with the unit and of returning fire with a single operator without a field mount when needed. It would serve as a force multiplier for American infantry from 1918 up to the introduction of the M60 for Vietnam, serve with multiple American allies, and see less savory use during the "gangland" activities of the 1920s/1930s, including as a weapon of choice for notorious outlaws Bonnie & Clyde. Blade front and folding ladder rear sights, with a "W/2-19" barrel, Group-marked receiver, hardwood forearm and a synthetic buttstock with flip-up shoulder rest. The trigger group is configured for semi-auto, full-auto, and safe, with the traditional spring loaded stop between full and safe, and an add on set of magazine well "guide wings". Included with the item are a carry handle, cylindrical flash hider and folding bipod.

Desirable Ramo M2HB Browning Heavy Machine Gun with Tripod, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Lot 373

Ramo M2HB, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable MG with Tripod

Manufactured by Ramo of Nashville, Tennessee, the M2 Browning Machine Gun is the definitive Western heavy machine gun of the 20th century. A descendant of Browning's Model 1917 HMG, the development of the M2 was first prompted by the emergence of armored aircraft among German forces in World War I, calling for a greater level of firepower to bring down. Development continued after Browning's passing in 1926, and in 1933 it was adopted by the U.S. armed forces. In service to this day, the air-cooled M2 HB has been used in a wide spectrum of roles on sea, air and land, from as fundamental as an infantry heavy machine gun, as ratified as the main armament of top of the line fighter aircraft, to as oddball as being used as a sniper rifle; the famed Carlos Hathcock used a scoped M2 to set a confirmed kill record in Vietnam that wouldn't be beaten until the War on Terror, and still holds a spot on the top 10 as of this writing. Hooded blade front and folding ladder peep sights, with the six-line Ramo legend and serial number on the right side plate, over the Ramo "elephant head" logo, a short vented barrel shroud, and a heavyweight barrel. The cocking handle and spade grips are both plastic construction, with a sliding safety on the back plate. Includes a M3 folding tripod and two T&E mechanisms.

Excellent Police Documented Colt Thompson Model 1921 Submachine Gun, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun

Lot 375

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

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. The records in Herigstad's "Colt Thompson Submachine Gun" (page 1083) show this 1921 as having been shipped in "1921AC" configuration as part of a 4-piece shipment to the Columbus Police Department of Columbus, Ohio, on July 24, 1934. Blade front sight on the Cutts-marked 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. One stick magazine is included.

Manufactured using a Catco-made right sideplate and a mix of commercial and military surplus components, this is a fine representative example of the Browning Model 1919A6 machine gun. Developed during World War II, the A6 variant of the 1919 was meant to fill the gap between the tripod-mounted 1919 and the handheld 1918 BAR, giving a weapon more maneuverable than a tripod gun but with greater sustained fire capacity than a magazine fed rifle. Folding blade front and ladder rear sights, with a flash hider/muzzle booster and swiveling bipod on the end of the heat shield, Catco markings on the sideplate, Israeli-marked 7/62mm feed mechanism, and a checkered pistol grip with a clamp-on buttstock.

British Birmingham Small Arms Model 1914 Lewis Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun with Extra Magazines and Accessories

Lot 379

British BSA 1914 Lewis Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable MG

Originally developed prior to World War I, the Lewis was one of the lightest machine guns of the era, weighing in at about 28 pounds. At the time, these were considered to be the premier air cooled light machine gun and the first machine gun to be mounted and successfully used on an airplane in flight in 1912. The design was originally developed in 1910/11 by the Automatic Arms Company of Buffalo, New York, for commercial sales by Lieutenant Colonel Issac Newton Lewis using the gas-operated rotating bolt design of Samuel McLean. Later, Lt. Col. Lewis added some of his own improved designs changes, namely the jacketed cooling fin assembly on the barrel. Lewis established a firm in Belgium to license the design to arms manufacturers, finding interested parties at Birmingham Small Arms of Britain and Savage Arms of the United States, and both countries would take the Lewis into combat during World War I and World War II as infantry machine guns and in aircraft and vehicle mountings. This standard infantry Lewis features the distinctive aluminum cooling fins and barrel shroud with clamp-on bipod, fixed blade front sight, ladder rear sight graduated from "1-19" (100-1,900 meters), hardwood panels on the pistol grip and a fixed hardwood buttstock. The top is marked "Manufactured by/The Birmingham Small Arms Co. Ltd/ENGLAND/for" and "Armes Automatiques Lewis/BELGIUM". In front of the rear sight is marked "Lewis Auto Gun./Mod. 1914-Pat". Mixed numbers visible on components with some lined out and renumbered when it was arsenal rebuilt. "A383" stamped in the circular brass disc on the right of the buttstock. Includes an extra bolt body, firing pin, ruptured case extractor tool, gas regulator cup reamer tool and four extra drum magazines.

Police Ordnance Ingram M6, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable

An early design from Gordon Ingram of MAC/M10 fame, the M6 was developed in the 1940s as a tubular receiver submachine gun emulating the ergonomics and appearance of the Thompson SMG. Mechanically, the major distinction was the use of a two-stage trigger, with a gentle press producing semi-automatic fire and a full squeeze initiating full automatic fire; a conventional selector switch is also supplied on some models, like this one, that disables the full auto trigger position when engaged. Blade front and windage adjustable notch rear sights, with the patent, address, model and caliber markings on top of the receiver ahead of the ejector port, fluted barrel with slanted pistol grip, right handed "SAFE/AUTO/SEMI" selector, and smooth pistol grip stock.

SWD "Lighting Link" with Armalite/Shrike Host Gun, Class III/NFA

One of approximately 900 manufactured and registered with the BATFE in the early 1980s, these S.W.D. Inc. Auto Connectors were, and still are, one of the most cost effective ways to make an AR-15 platform rifle fully automatic. Fully marked on the main body, the "Lightning Link" consists of a main body that hooks around the disconnector and a vertical arm that extends upward into the bolt raceway; if properly configured, the back end of a semi-automatic pattern bolt carrier will strike the arm, pulling back the main body and disengaging the disconnector, emulating the function of a factory auto sear but without needing a full auto pattern bolt. This example comes with two arms, one measuring about .032" and the other about .050" in thickness; info from the consignor indicates that the .050" arm was fabricated for best fit with the host gun Item B.

Colt AR-15 Automatic Rifle/MAC M16 Silencer Combo, Class III/NFA

Manufactured by Colt circa 1966 for commercial sale, the AR-15 automatic rifle was patterned very closely after the early military issued M16 rifle, with the chief difference being in the markings.

The "slick side" bolt carrier and bolt head are both chrome finished.

Seen on famous handguns such as the Mauser Broomhandle, Luger, and the FN/Browning High Power, stocked pistols were a famous niche item for service and survival use, a sort of "ur-PDW" that fell out of style after World War II. Fixed sights, the importer mark on the right side of the slide, matching numbers on the slide, barrel, frame, and hammer housing, and a set of "5-pointed star" grips. The stock is a novel item, being both a stock and a combat knife; the sheath is fitted with a mounting iron and serves as the "wrist" of the stock, and the knife has a slotted tang and pushbutton latch that lets the grip slide back and down to make the "butt" of the stock. In hand, the knife measures 10 7/8 inches overall length with a 6 inch blade and a ribbed plastic grip, and when mounted the length of pull is about 15 1/2 inches.

Lot 403

Spandau Model 1908/15 Maxim, Class III/NFA C&R Machine Gun

A variant on the Maxim machine gun, the Model 1908/15 was a go-to standard for the German Army during World War I, 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 MG.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 hardwood 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. Mostly matching serial numbers visible on components including on the left of the buttstock, with a few non-matching numbered small parts.

World War II Soviet PPSh-41 Submachine Gun, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun, with Accessories

Lot 405

WWII Soviet PPSh-41 SMG, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable

Developed by Soviet arms designer Georgy Shpagin, the PPSh-41 was the go-to infantry submachine gun for the USSR in World War II, produced in quantity and fielded the full width of the Eastern Front. Similar to other popular SMGs of the day, the PPSh was a blowback-driven open-bolt design, using as many stamped components as possible and an interesting production expedient for the barrel; one could make two PPSh barrels by cutting a Mosin-Nagant barrel in half and machining a new 7.62x25mm breech. Fielded by the Red Army and air-dropped to Soviet-friendly partisan forces, the SMG was also used by the Germans (both in original 7.62 and re-chambered for 9mm Parabellum). After the war, large quantities were supplied to the Korean People's Army and the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, both of which deployed them en mass for the Korean War; while outstripped by the American M1 rifle and M2 carbine in terms of range and accuracy, they provided brutal up-close firepower during raids and night battles. Blade front and two-leaf rear sights, with an integral muzzle brake in the ventilated heat shield, marked "(star in shield)/1944" ahead of the ejector port, with a two position selector switch (full/semi) inside the trigger guard. Matching original serial numbers visible on the bolt and top of the receiver tube, with a non-matching number on the bottom of the trigger guard. Fitted with a smooth one-piece hardwood stock, with a steel buttplate.

German MG42 Machine Gun, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable

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. 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 ladder rear sights are installed on the full length barrel shroud, along with a screw-on flash hider, and a quick-release barrel mechanism. A machined trunnion connects the stamped shroud to the stamped receiver, which is faintly marked on the left side, with a set of ribbed pistol grips, two-position push-button safety switch, and a synthetic buttstock. Multiple parts are unmarked, including the barrel. Included with the lot is a post-WWII field mount with Hensoldt optical sight and illuminator unit, ammo cans (mixed WWII German, WWII Finnish Maxim, and post-WWII, the latter of which are compatible with the feed mechanism currently installed on the item), non-disintegrating belts, disintegrating belt links, and a Browning Model 1918 belt loading tool.

Interord Corporation USAS-12 Semi-Automatic Shotgun, Class III/NFA Destructive Device, with Extra Magazines

Lot 550

Interord USAS-12, Class III/NFA Destructive Device

Originally developed in the 1980s, the USAS-12 takes many design cues from Maxwell Atchisson's 1970s vintage Atchisson Assault Shotgun, being a gas-operated magazine fed shotgun patterned after the M-16/AR-15 family of rifles, in particular arranging the firearm to put the barrel as close in line with the shoulder as possible to diminish felt recoil. First conceived as a military weapon, the design was subjected to slight revision with an eye on the American commercial market. Arriving on American shores in the late 80s and early 90s, the semi-auto USAS-12 soon ran face first into the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, who used the wording of the National Firearms Act to have the shotgun (along with the cylinder-fed Armsel Striker-12, aka the Street Sweeper) declared a Destructive Device; while shotguns are traditionally given a pass on having a bore greater than a half-inch, this only legally applies to items "generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes", with said recognition more or less entirely hinging on the ATF's opinion on the matter. Elevation adjustable pin front and windage adjustable peep rear sights, with the former in a hooded post and the latter inside an integral carry handle, with a reversible cocking handle and ejector port cover, model and patent markings on the left side of the receiver and the model and gauge markings on the right.

Established in Nashville, Tennessee by Elbert R. "Pony" Maples, Junior, E.R. Maples Co. (aka ERMCO) was the predecessor to Ramo, initially restoring and later manufacturing American military weapons. A descendant of Browning's 1917 HMG, the development of the M2 was first prompted by the emergence of armored aircraft among German forces in World War I, calling for a greater level of firepower to bring down. Development continued after Browning's passing in 1926, and in 1933 it was adopted by the U.S. Armed Forces. In service to this day, the air-cooled M2 HB has been used in a wide spectrum of roles on sea, air and land, from as fundamental as an infantry heavy machine gun, as rarified as the main armament of top of the line fighter aircraft, to as oddball as being used as a sniper rifle; the famed Carlos Hathcock used a scoped M2 to set a confirmed kill record in Vietnam that wouldn't be beaten until the War on Terror, and still holds a spot on the top 10 as of this writing. Hooded blade front and folding ladder peep sights, with the Maples address, model marking and serial number on the right side plate, a short vented barrel shroud, and a heavyweight barrel.
