S&H Registered Auto-Sear in a HK "HK53" Host Gun, Class III/NFA

A) S&H Auto Sear, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun

The sear is individually marked, and installed in the shelf-pattern trigger pack in item B of this lot; the B item is listed by serial number on the ATF tax stamp paperwork in field 4h, but B is not itself the registered item.

ConditionVery fine, with minor wear and handling. Appears to be in fine working order. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.

B) Heckler & Koch "HK53" Host Gun

Originally manufactured in 1982 in Germany as a semi-automatic rifle, this item was altered to serve as the host gun for the auto sear listed as Item A in this lot. Post front and 4-position drum rear sights, with a Fabian Brothers muzzle brake on the threaded muzzle, "ICV" marked barrel, triangular handguard, textured pistol grip, and a two-position telescoping buttstock. The receiver is "shelf" pattern, with a functional paddle lever for the magazine catch and model/importer markings on the magazine well. The trigger housing is equipped with a right handed selector and bears "0/1/25" markings. The bolt carrier was originally semi-auto pattern, with a welded-up trip sear, "WZA" on the back, a plastic recoil buffer, and "IB" (1981) dated bolt head.

ConditionVery fair as professionally upgraded, with 95% of the factory quality matte black finish, showing some wear on the rail mount points, a dent on the left side of the receiver, and mild handling marks overall. The furniture is in equal condition. The aforementioned dent does extend into the interior, and produces some contact friction with the bolt carrier, but the item is otherwise in mechanically good order.
