LOT 404
Smith & Wesson Model 76 Submachine Gun, Class III/NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun - Serial no. U3616, 9 mm cal., 8
inch round bbl., matte gray finish, metal stock. Originally developed in the late 1960s, the S&W Model 76 was designed to fill the
niche of a lightweight and compact 9mm SMG after the American special forces community was cut off from sources of the Carl
Gustaf M45 “Swedish K” SMG; the Swedish government, neutral in the Vietnam War, was uncomfortable with their exports being
used in the conflict. Fixed blade and peep sights on the tubular receiver, with an ambidextrous “FULL”/”SEMI”/”SAFE” selector
switch, checkered pistol grip, and a side folding buttstock with rubberized covering.
CONDITION: Excellent, retains 97% plus original matte gray finish, with minor spotting and handling marks. The grip shows an
unknown white residue with some scratches and a few thin spots on the stock cover. The included magazine is for an Uzi, and
its functionality is not guaranteed. Otherwise mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully
transferable Class 3,
which is registered with
the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives, (BATFE) under
the provisions of 18 U.S.C.
