Early and highly desirable "T" prefix specimen of the high quality manufactured Smith & Wesson Model 76 machine gun with one original 36 round magazine. The standard civilian production guns were serialized with a "U" prefix U101 through U6100. There was a small navy contract produced and delivered during the Vietnam war and all documented specimens have a "T" serial number prefix. With production starting in 1967 and running through 1974, the Smith & Wesson Model 76 machine guns are in the process of becoming Curio & Relic eligible, just as the original M16’s are. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine original smooth dark blue finish. Steel swing-out shoulder loop with black hard rubber covering and composite handgrip also extremely fine. Magazine retains nearly all of its grey-green finish. Bore is near excellent shiny and bright. Bolt extremely fine. This is a select fire machine gun. An attractive specimen which has the added appeal of being a both a Vietnam era machine gun, and also as a very fun recreational shooter. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 3 OR 4.
