NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun - Serial no. 102457, 45 ACP cal.,
10 1/2 inch fluted bbl., gray finish, walnut stock. A closed-bolt blowback-operated submachine
gun, the Reising Model 50 saw action with the U.S. Marines in the Pacific as a substitute for the M1

muzzle break, cooling fins on the barrel, three-line Worcester address near the ejection port, and three-position selector/

Included with the SMG are four extra magazines, three single-stack and one double- stack, and a Korean-marked green canvas sling.

and dents. 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) that is classified as a “Curios or Relic” as defined in 27 CFR, 478.11.
