SOLD - Minty, Cased H&R Reising Model 50 Submachine Gun - Etna Police

Description

10/6/23 - This is a near-mint Reising M-50 with typical compensator and rear peep sight, and includes six original 25-rd mags. It also comes with a nice, old hard case and a canvas mag pouch. The Reising M-50 was notably issued to Marines in the Pacific Theater during WWII as an alternative to the Thompson sub-machine gun which was in short supply.  Although not well received by the Marines, these guns were also supplied to various police departments and utilized for decades after WWII. They have gained in popularity over the years with recreational shooting enthusiasts as a well made, relatively inexpensive entry level machine gun which utilizes readily available ammunition. This one has retained virtually all of its bluing. Excellent wood with only minor handling marks here and there. There is an "Etna Police" marking on the left side of the butt stock. Mint bore. Firing mechanism moves smoothly when operated by hand.  This weapon is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or form 4 as Curio & Relic eligible.  Mechanics are fine. No doubt this will bring many hours of enjoyment to a future owner.
