Description:

Patterned after the Model 1927 SMG with closed bolt, semi-auto only operation. Features and markings are standard. Prominent among the many included accessories are two 18-round stick magazines configured for the Peters-Thompson 45 Auto-Shot cartridge; a rare 45 ACP variant, the Peters round was loaded with birdshot pellets in a paper case, and was intended to give riot officers and prison guards an extra force option between "stern warning" and "full-auto death". Also included are two drum magazines (one vintage 50-round "L" model, one modern low-capacity drum), five stick magazines, a quick-detach buttstock, M1-style straight handguard, canvas sling, assorted small parts, cleaning rod, and a "FBI" style rectangular transport case.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 98% of the original blue finish, showing some minor handling marks overall. The stock is very good, with a few pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
