The Danish Madsen M50 is effective machine gun which incorporates an interesting grip safety to the rear of the magazine well. There is a lever which must be depressed in order for the bolt to release forward. Includes one original blue-grey web sling, six original magazines, one magazine loader, and a saw-cut parts set (including barrel) with the center section of the receiver not present. These Madsen machine guns are very handy and comfortable to shoot, and are always popular at the range. The leather covering on the shoulder loop provides better comfort to the firer in hot or cold conditions.

Parts kit is in good condition with very good bore. This is a full auto only machine gun. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER.
