and spring guide. Included with the lot is a black leatherette “FBI” style case, three stick magazines, and one Type “L” 50-round drum.
CONDITION: Fine as assembled, with 70% of the arsenal refurbished parkerized finish, showing areas of gray and brown patina, discoloration on
the left side of the receiver, and mild spotting and wear overall. The stock is fine, with contrasting color between pieces and mild chips and dings
concentrated on the buttstock. Mechanically excellent. Accessories are very fine. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable
