Description:

Designed by Steyr of Austria and intended for both military and security applications this is a more modern and improved version of the Steyr MPi 69 sub-machine gun introduced in 1981. This improved version no longer incorporates the front sling swivel into the charging handle, instead a more conventional handle is mounted and the sling swivel is on the barrel, secured by the knurled barrel nut. Features post front and two leaf rear peep sights, standard ribbed one-piece black polymer lower receiver, cross bolt style safety, and a collapsible wire stock. Matching numbers on the bolt, receiver, and grip. The top of the receiver is marked "STEYR -DAIMLER-PUCH A.G./MADE IN AUSTRIA/GUN SOUTH INC BHAM AL".

Rating Definition:

Very good. 85% plus original gray finish remains with areas of high point and edge wear, surface scratches and small dings, and retraction marks on the buttstock. The lower receiver/grip frame has small dings and nicks throughout, surface scratches, and a noticeable chip absent just ahead of the ejection port. Mechanically excellent.

Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
