GUN SPRING 2017
The live portion of this session begins on Tuesday, April 11, 2017.
JAPANESE TYPE-100 MODEL OF 1944 MACHINE GUN (C&R). JAPANESE TYPE 100 2633 8MM NAMBU MODERN; NFA; C&R Cal. 8mm Nambu. 11" bbl (to muzzle). Typical mid-production Nambu type-100 machine gun with steel buttplate, manufactured by Nagoya Arsenal with typical markings "100-type" in Japanese at top rear of receiver. Rather crude yet functional welding techniques throughout. One orig non-matching mag, SN 2853. Take down latch retention screws on left side appear to have been removed and then re-seated without properly matching them to their orig holes, yet still serviceable. Extractor not present on bolt. Typical fixed rear peep sight with drift adjustment front sight. Bayonet lug present as are sling swivels. Firing mechanism moves smoothly when operated by hand, this weapon appears fully functional with the exception of missing extractor. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval prior to transfer. This weapon is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or form 4 as Curio & Relic eligible. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish very good, orig finish with some thinning to gray patina and scattered light peppery oxidation throughout. Bolt a gray patina. Bore is very good. Stock has numerous dings, chips, with two large chips on left side just forward of mag housing. Overall quite a nice specimen of its kind. 51131-1 JWK703 (8,000-12,000)
