HIGHLY SOUGHT INTEGRALLY SUPPRESSED STEN MK III MACHINE GUN (FULLY TRANSFERABLE).FAKTSSTEN MK III78109MM2 mag loaders, 15 magazinesMODERN; NFACal. 9mm. 11-1/4" bbl. This is a Sten Mark III marked on top of magazine housing "STEN. M.C.MK III" and marked on left side of receiver with SN and "FAKTS MOD T". Left side of body of suppressor below front sight is "7810S/FAKTS". Exterior receiver numbers and number on bottom of magazine well does not match. This gun was manufactured and registered on a single tax stamp by Fred Kasse. The suppressed Sten was manufactured for use by special operation forces during WWII. Original specimens are exceedingly rare, so no doubt Fred Kasse made this one so that he and others could enjoy it as both a representative specimen and also as a recreation piece. It includes one blued steel 32 round magazine and one magazine loader marked "AUSTEN / 9MM / MAGAZINE FILLER / DC" and the other magazine loader is a contemporary loader. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval for transfer. This item is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or 4. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish very fine, smooth, grey, green finish as refinished upon remanufacture with some light pitting underneath the finish on both sides of the receiver. Mechanics are fine. Uncleaned bore has firing residue with discernible rifling. This will no doubt give some fortunate shooting enthusiast many hours of enjoyment and when fired with appropriate sub-sonic ammunition should be quite comfortable to shoot. 52939-46 JWK (5,500-10,500)
