Very well accessorized American 180 machine guns with four original plastic pan magazines, one steel magazine with driving mechanism, two loading trays, one loading stand, one picatinny rail (new in wrapper), a spare vertical forend, an original owner’s manual, and a documented rate of fire slip using Federal Lightning ammunition on 7/9/2021 for this serial numbered gun. This gun utilizes a neat magazine system which incorporates a detachable hand-wound spring device to rotate the drum on a steel plate that brings the rounds within the magazine in-line to feed into the gun. When these are fired, the sound has been likened to that of a sewing machine, with the spray of bullets likened to a swarm or angry bees. This gun includes both a horizontal foregrip and a sight mounting rail at top rear of the receiver. The sights are at a high profile in order to be above the pan magazine when it is emplaced on the gun. There is a knurled knob at the underside of the receiver which allows for the removal of the barrel. This is a nice feature as it allows this gun to be disassembled for ease of transport in a very compact package and also makes the parts more accessible for cleaning. Cocking handle is on the left side, safety on the right side. Selector switch is a push-button reminiscent of the MP43/MP44. This was manufactured in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is so marked on the underside of the receiver. Electronic NFA registry indicates “AMERICAN ARMS INTERNATIONAL INC” as the manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is a near excellent deep lustrous blued finish on barrel and black anodized finish on the aluminum parts with black hardcoat on upper part of the receiver. There is some loss of finish to the front of the trigger guard to a gray patina. The other furnishings are an attractive wood-colored composite which have some light handling maarks. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Magazines and winder are extremely fine with two of the plastic magazines and loading tray, still new in their original factory wrappers. Mechanics are crisp. This is a select-fire machine gun. A very popular recreational machine guns with plenty of accessories, just as we like to find them. 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 2024-09-091.
