What a neat little fully automatic rifle manufactured by the German firm of Voere GmbH and imported by the American International Corp. These were originally designed in the late 1970s as a semi-automatic version with the fully automatic models being introduced in the early 1980s. The top of the barrel is stamped: "AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL CORP./SLC UTAH USA/A00936" with the left rear side roll marked, "AMERICAN 180 M-2/A00936". They were designed to look like a scaled down Thompson SMG that used a round drum magazine mounted horizontally on top of the action some what like a Lewis or Russian DP-38 machine gun. They have a cyclic rate of 1200 rounds per minute, which could be quite devastating even for the 22 LR, and the drum magazine holds 177 rounds of the very popular and easy to obtain 22 LR ammunition. These handy little rifles can fire in either semi-automatic or full-auto (from an open bolt). It has a finned barrel like the 1921/28 Thompson SMGs to aid in cooling as well as a detachable buttstock also like the original Thompson SMGs. It has a side mounted cocking handle, a fixed blade front sight with an adjustable rear sight patterned from the M1 Carbines. It is fitted with a high impact brown plastic buttstock and forend and has a blue/black metal finish overall. As noted, this lot comes with two drum magazines (total) with one of them missing the winding key mechanism. They were very unique at the time and still are today.

Excellent with 98% of the original factory finish overall showing light wear and light use from actual firing. The plastic components are also in excellent condition. A section is absent from the receiver near the chamber.
