Marked “76/45 John R Stemple” with serial number on right side of magazine housing, and includes a .45 ACP silencer manufactured by James M. Burgess of Wesserville, OH specifically for the Stemple model 76. Also included is a spare .45 ACP barrel for this gun, and set of conversion parts (barrel, bolt) to convert this gun to 9mm, and blue cover JMB manual for this suppressor and gun. Also included is the original barrel shroud, one .45 ACP M3 Grease Gun magazine which this gun utilizes. This machine gun is rather reminiscent of the M3 Grease Gun, notably the magazine release on the left side of the magazine housing, and telescoping shoulder loop. Rail with a very nice peer sight affixed to the top of the receiver tube. This is a full-auto only machine gun which fires from an open bolt, and the safety is a cutout slot for the bolt in the receiver tube in the same manner as the German MP-40, making it attractive to residents of states such as Connecticut. Receiver serial number is the only visible serial number on the magazine well. This Stemple’s barrel is ported into the silencer to bleed gas behind the projectile and make the sound suppression very effective. Owner’s manual indicates the suppressor is “fully cleanable and will last the life of the gun." CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent original gray parkerized finish on gun with black enamel paint finish on the 13 - 3/8" long silencer. Magazine has a deep lustrous blue finish. Mechanics are crisp and action moves smoothly when actuated by hand. Bore in gun is very good, shiny and bright. Other .45 ACP barrel near excellent. 9mm barrel is dark with firing residue, and appears to have corrosion. A fine entry level .45 ACP machine gun enhanced by a silencer which provides, according to the manual, 32 db of sound reduction. THESE ARE NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEMS AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. EACH OF THESE ITEMS WILL INCURE A SEPARATE $200.00 TRANSFER TAX IF TRANSFERRED ON A FORM 4.
