Very popular and sought after copy of the highly effective British Sterling machine gun. American made from some original British and some new-made parts at Bob Imel’s Police Automatic Weapons Services (P.A.W.S.) machine shop, this Model ZX-5 is a close copy of the British Sterling sub-machine gun. The trigger mechanism is actually simplified from the British L2A3, yet the gun retains the feel and shooting characteristics of the iconic British sub-machine gun. This specimen includes one slightly modified 32-round Sten magazine. There were only about 400 transferable P.A.W.S. sub-machine guns produced between the late '70s and May of 1986 and these are popular guns when they become available. This model has the classic swing-out shoulder assembly which doubles as a forward vertical foregrip. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original factory mottled black pebble finish with very little evidence of firing. Bore is near excellent shiny and bright. Bolt face near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select fire machine gun. Just a great 9mm machine gun for the full-auto enthusiast! 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.
