Early Madsen M50 machine gun as supplied to Venezuela with coat of arms and “F.A.P.” on left side of receiver. This indicates Venezuelan Air Force use. Sheet metal construction with unusual bolt safety at the magazine housing which needs to be actuated and held forward in order for the bolt to chamber a round as well as a standard sliding safety button on left side of the receiver. Includes five original 30 round magazines. No leather covering on shoulder loop and it appears it was never equipped with one. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is good dull black enamel finish with some flaking away to reveal gray metal, particularly at the high edges. Mechanics are fine. Bore very fine, shiny and bright. Bolt face is also fine. A nice simple open-bolt full-auto only machine gun that is a lot of fun at the range. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS TRANSFERABLE ONLY TO ACTIVE FFL/SOT DEALERS ON AN ATF FORM 3 BUT MAY BE RETAINED BY SOLE PROPRIETOR FFL/SOT HOLDERS WHEN THEY RELINQUISH THEIR LICENSES UPON BATF APPROVAL.
