All three barrels are fitted with threaded muzzles and winged blade front sights, with
the matching number on the underside of the chamber. Two are 16 1/2 inches with
Thompson-style fluting, one with a grooved horizontal forearm and the other fitted with
the Laser-LOK sight, while the third is 9 inches, with a “bull barrel” profile and a Thompson-
style pistol grip forearm. Measuring 13 1/4 inches long, 4 1/2 inches tall, and 1 3/4 inches thick, the Laser-LOK is
housed in an aluminum frame, secured to the barrel with a pair of chromed rings on a mounting rail, bearing a serial
number “410” with a power socket and on switch on the rear; this example is not finished or numbered to match the
set, but is the proper model. The receiver is currently sans rear sight, with the manufacturer markings on the underside
and a smooth fancy walnut pistol grip. A quick detach buttstock, finished to match the rest of the wood and fitted with a
Pachmayr recoil pad is included, along with one chrome plated drum magazine. Included with the lot is a hardwood case
with gold paint filled lettering on the lid and green felt lining, cut to fit the weapon, all aforementioned accessories and the
included silencer (see Item B for more details), along with a manual and related paperwork.
CONDITION: Excellent, with 98% of the original chrome
finish, showing some minor handling marks and a
few areas of wear and discoloration. The wood is also
excellent, with some scratches and dings. The rear sight
and the charging cable for the laser sight are absent,
and the Laser-LOK has not been function tested. The
selector occasionally gets stuck on semi-automatic
and the magazine needs adjustment, otherwise
mechanically fine. The case shows minor wear. NOTE:
