QUOTE (gijive @ Aug 2 2006, 09:28 AM) I looked at the pictures on GunBroker and although I agree with the assessment of refinshing around the serial number, I don't see anything unusual about the actuator and barrel. The barrel has a second model Cutts compensator on it which necessitated replacing the barrel. The serial number of the gun is low enough that it probably didn't originally come with that barrel and compensator. It was probably originally a 1921A configuration gun which was sent back to Auto-Ordnance sometime after 1932 for a compensator. Since by then they were installing the second type compensator, it would also require a new barrel with the 3/4 thread size, which differed from the first type compensators. The second type barrels sometimes exhibit slightlly thicker fins. I believe the gun has obviously been rebarreled, but I believe it is period done and all authentic. The front sight is the proper early profile type also which would be correct for the second model compensator, prior to WWII production. thanks for the info. After checking the patent date on the comp, I think you are correct. As fas as the bluing around the serial # goes, it has not been touched up by no means. There is still some finish wear there.

Do I smell some shilling? no, so don't go there. just trying to drum up some opinions about this piece. I know there are people here that can check it out and comment on it. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif

not sure about the barrel being wartime production. Everything looks to be right on the gun. The bluing matches the rec. well and no signs of it being messed with.

At what price do you think it would sell? From the pics it looks like a clean one with a few marks. In person it looks very clean inside and probably better than pics.

I bet it pops up soon on some board for about 40K with a story about it's history with a police department. Same for the Mp38. Would like to have gotten that one. What do you think it would be worth these days? It sounded like a nice one!

QUOTE (philasteen @ Jul 20 2006, 07:45 PM) So what did it sell for? It was a trade out only. No cash involved.

This gun is gone. The deal was cut July 5th and now the gun has been transferred into someones hands. It sure was a beauty!
