LOT 3339
Very Scarce Police Ordnance Ingram
M6 Military Submachine Gun, Class III/
NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine
Gun, with Magazines and Law
Enforcement Case - Serial no.
1770, 45 ACP cal., 9 1/2 inch fluted
bbl., blue finish, walnut stock. An
early design from Gordon Ingram
of MAC/M10 fame, the M6 was
developed in the 1940s as a tubular
receiver submachine gun emulating
the ergonomics and appearance of
the Thompson SMG. Mechanically,
the major distinction was the use
of a two-stage trigger, with a gentle
press producing semi-automatic
fire and a full squeeze initiating
full automatic fire; a conventional
selector switch is also supplied
on some models, like this one,
that disables the full auto trigger
position when engaged. Blade front
and windage adjustable notch rear
sights, with the patent, address, model and caliber markings on top of the receiver ahead of the ejector port, fluted barrel with slanted pistol grip, right handed “SAFE/AUTO/SEMI” selector, and smooth pistol grip stock. Included with the SMG are five extra magazines, vintage manual, cleaning rod and a black leatherette transport case.
CONDITION: Very fine, with 95% plus period refinished blue finish, showing mild handling marks and a few areas of brown patina. The wood is very good, with some scratches and dings. The case shows mild wear and tear, and is missing the handle. 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.
