This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/22/2019
Extremely fine condition and hard to find Colt Model 639 variant of the M-16 with original Colt manufactured moderator as made for the civilian market and for export. The moderator was designed to change the sound of the report so that this gun sounds like a rifle other than an M-16/AR-15 machine gun. After these guns were made, the BATF reclassified the moderators as suppressor, and required that they be registered. Hence the moderation serial number is a professional engraving with “SU” prefix (for suppressor) followed by serial number 4790017. This gun will require two NFA transfer tax stamps if transferred on an ATF Form 4. This carbine includes one Kay Industries 30 round magazine, and features an original collapsible telescoping buttstock and forward assist. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish extremely fine to near excellent with the slightest handling marks. Magazine has seen some light use. Moderator near excellent and clean. Composite parts finish extremely fine to near excellent. Mechanics are crisp. Bore near excellent and mirror bright. Bolt near excellent. Very rare model in investment level condition, yet able to be fired without detracting from its value. THESE ARE NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEMS AND REQUIRE BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THESE ITEMS ARE FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORMS 3 OR 4. JWK 2019-10-115
