Excellent Smith & Wesson Model 76
Submachine Gun, Class III/NFA Fully
Transferable Machine Gun - Serial no. U751,
9 mm cal., 8 inch round bbl., parkerized 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, perforated
heat shield, checkered pistol grip and a side
folding buttstock with rubberized covering.
CONDITION: Excellent, with 98% plus of the
original parkerized finish, showing some
light spotting concentrated at the rear of the
receiver, mild edge wear and light handling
marks. Some scuffs are present on the otherwise
excellent grip. 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. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
Estimate: 15,000 - 25,000 337
