May 13-15, 2025 Firearms and Militaria
The live portion of this session begins on Tuesday, May 13, 2025.
Factory original three position "S.E.F." selector Heckler & Koch MP5 registered receiver machine gun. The gun was manufactured in 1985 according to “IF” mark on top of the receiver. Marked “Made W - Germany HK Chantily, Va” 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 remanufactured, or installed auto-sear gun. This specimen incorporates a telescoping stock and horizontal forend. One original, curved, “Made in Germany” marked original German H&K manufactured magazine is included with this gun. Electronic NFA registry indicates “IMPORTED NFA FIREARM” as the manufacturer or the gun. 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. PROVENANCE: Hard copy print-out of email from the BATF verifying this gun is unrestricted and Fully Transferable. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original finish. Composite furnishings of buttstock and pistol grip are near excellent. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. The few factory original Heckler and Koch guns which are becoming fully transferable to individuals will undoubtedly command a premium now, and into the foreseeable future. This is something for the discerning and forward- thinking collector/investor as well as the shooting enthusiast. THIS GUN 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. JWK 2025-05-016.
