All metal has black enamel finish. Wooden rear butt stock. Ejection port dust cover beneath action. Includes one magazine. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: Currently unserviceable. Black enamel paint covers most exposed metal but has several dings, scratches, and chips from typical handling and armory storage. Wooden butt stock is in good condition with the exception of a few gouges from storage wear. Monopod and bipod both function perfectly. Although paperwork indicates this is a transferable registered machine gun, at some poing the bbl was plugged to render it unserviceable. All other components seem unaltered and fire control mechanism seems to functions correctly when cycled by hand. 4-34599 JZ86 (9,000-16,000)"
