This weapon is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or form 4 as Curio & Relic eligible. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is very fine, orig lustrous blue finish with some scratches to the metal and some dings to the wood, together with some bruising particularly in the area of the vertical handgrip. Bbl plugged with weld and welded to housing with weld built up significantly from chamber mouth, bolt ground off as noted which accommodates this build up, however this gun is registered as a live machine gun. Mechanics are functional, subject to conditions notes. Bolt safety has a tendency to stick. Unable to determine condition of bore due to welded chamber. Mag appears completely serviceable. Spare bolt turning a brown patina in recessed areas, more so toward the bolt face but should polish up just fine. Screw slots all show evidence of turning. A nice representative specimen of this model. 53171-18 JWK (6,500-9,500) C&R – Lot 1027
