This specimen has particularly attractive wood and high luster finished bbl with du-lite finished receiver and lower assembly. 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 finish and appearance extremely fine. High lustrous orig blued finish on bbl and compensator with extremely fine dull du-lite finish on receiver, grip frame, and forend iron. Somewhat of a plum finish around magazine well due to the metallurgical hardening in that area. Wood is very fine to extremely fine with some very light handling marks. Mechanics are crisp. Bolt is very clean and bright. Very fine to extremely fine brilliant bright bore. Drum exhibits a somewhat dull refinish over light pitting which presents very well with this gun. It is not often one finds this model available in such nice, clean condition. The orig vintage 50 round N.Y. drum is a definite plus. 53165-8 JWK (24,000-30,000)
