Very nice example of the M3 grease gun with cocking lever on the right side of receiver. Marked of left side of magazine housing “SUB-MACH GUN/CAL 45 M3”. Also marked “Guide” with the remainder obscured by the protected style magazine latch. Also marked on left side of magazine housing with arsenal crossed cannon proof mark and “US NO”. Telescoping shoulder loop deploys properly. Barrel bushing retention clip functions properly as does ejection port cover. Includes two 30 round magazines. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is about 85% black enamel paint coverage with the area around the muzzle worn to bare metal with numerous scratches to the finish on the barrel and receiver. Welding appears rather crude in some places but that’s the way these guns were made. Interior of receiver very clean. Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright. Bolt face likewise extremely fine. Overall a really fine example of a much sought after American submachine gun. 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 AS CURIO AND RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 2020-05-075
