Very attractive Swedish K machine gun on Wilson registered tube. Swedish crown proof on top of barrel with “WAC” manufacturer’s marking on left side of tube. One 36 round magazine is included with this very popular and desirable machine gun. This specimen was manufactured with the detachable magazine housing which enables this gun to use either the standard 36 round magazines or the coffin magazines. Full-auto only operation with slotted receiver tube cut-out for bolt to be held to the rear as on the MP-40, folding wire-loop shoulder brace much like the Madsen, and charging handle which doubles as a forward bolt lock in the manner of the Austen and others. A real cornucopia of similarities to other earlier machine gun designs. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent smooth gray finish applied upon remanufacture with extremely fine wood grips with slight handling marks. Mechanics are crisp. Bore is near excellent shiny and bright. Bolt face extremely fine. Magazine very clean. The Swedish M/45 (Swedish K) was the standard sub machine gun for Sweden from 1945 to 1965, and it is much admired and sought after as a recreational machine gun here in the United States. Transferable specimens seldom surface for sale and when they do they are usually part of an estate situation, or when the owner has another specimen they are keeping. It’s true! 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. JWK 2019-10-149
