Fabulous factory original three position, "S, E, F" selector Heckler & Koch MP5 registered receiver machine gun manufactured in December 1972 as marked on top of the receiver. Marked “Made Germany excl for SACO, Arlington, Va 22209” on right side of magazine well, and “HK MP5” on top of receiver. This cataloger needs to emphasize the fact that this is a factory original MP5, not a remanufacture, or installed auto-sear gun. This specimen incorporates a fixed stock and horizontal forend. One original, straight “8/72” dated magazine is included with this gun. Electronic NFA registry indicates “IMPORTED NFA FIREARM” as the manufacturer. The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (BATF) is in the process of removing restrictions on what they call "GOVT Use Exception", previously Pre-86 Dealer Sample restricted machine guns. This is one such gun. This particular gun has been verified by the BATF by serial number as having had its restrictions removed and, as such, is now “Fully Transferable” to individuals. Manufacturer’s information such as “Imported NFA Firearm” is NOT being changed incidental to this process. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original black hard coat finish. Composite furnishings of buttstock and pistol grip also near excellent. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. The very few factory original Heckler & Koch guns which are becoming fully transferable to individuals will undoubtedly command a premium now, and into the foreseeable future. Something for the discerning and forward-thinking collector/investor as well as the shooting enthusiast. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS UNRESTRICTED - FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4 AS CURIO AND RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 2024-12-74.
