Gents, I have three "examples" of Reising M55s. Without pole-vaulting over collector lingo, I will refer to these as: 1. M50 / 55 transition type. 2. M55 Transition 3. Military M55. I am interested in your thoughts as I am not as familiar with these as I am the Thompsons. I have to let one go, and I am trying to get price book ends on each one. All comments welcomed. 1.The M50/55 transition type. Reising Model 50, SN 12575. Reciever marked Model 50. This gun came this way. The buyer before me picked it up in this condition. Neither he nor I added the folding stock to this gun. It has the following features: Blued, 29 fin with cutts compensator. Front sight not adjustable for windage. Barrel marked with a "P". No punch mark on the reciever. No screw in rear sight, rear sight not stamped with reinforcing ribs. Selector switch curved downward (color case hardened) All metal is highly polished blue. 20 Round magazine housing. One piece bumper plug (needs to be rewelded). Three screw stamped trigger guard.
