Receiver marked “U.S. RIFLE / 7.62 mm M14 / WINCHESTER / TRADE MARK" followed by serial number. This a wonderful and very seldom encountered original U.S. M14 machine gun with original bipod. It exhibits a typical flash hider and flip-up buttplate, as well as brown plastic upper handguard, and includes an original green nylon sling and 1 20-round magazine. Electronic NFA registry indicates “WINCHESTER” as the manufacturer. PROVENANCE: From the personal collection of a very discerning and advanced machine gun collector who desires to remain anonymous as he draws down his collection. Consignor states the advanced collector he purchased it from many years ago had owned this gun for more than 40 years. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is extremely fine to near excellent original smooth gray/green finish on metal only the slightest loss of finish at the high edges. Wood stock is extremely fine with some light handling marks. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Bolt face near excellent. This is a select fire machine gun. Very few original Winchester M14 machine guns are in the NFA registry as fully transferable to individuals. This is a fabulous opportunity for the modern U.S. military collector to fill what is almost certainly a hole in their collection of American military rifles. 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 2022-11-75
