**POLICE AUTOMATIC WEAPONS SERVICES (PAWS) COPY OF STERLING SUB-MACHINE GUN (FULLY TRANSFERABLE).

SN 0072. Cal. 9 MM. 8″ bbl. American made at Bob Imel’s Police Automatic Weapons Services (P.A.W.S.) machine shop, this model ZX-5 is a close copy of the British Sterling sub-machine gun. The trigger mechanism is actually simplified from the British L2A3, yet the gun retains the feel and shooting characteristics of the iconic British sub-machine gun. This specimen includes two slightly modified 32-rnd Sten magazines. There were only about 400 transferable P.A.W.S. sub-machine guns produced between the late 70s and May of 1986 and these are popular guns when they become available. This model has the classic swing-out shoulder assembly which doubles as a forward vertical foregrip. This particular specimen has a mottled black pebble finish hard coat with a Parkerized grey blue hand grip assembly and hard grey composite hand grips. Firing mechanism moves smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval for transfer. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance near excellent in all respects. One or two chips to the hard coat. A little brassing where shoulder loop assembly latches, but otherwise a very clean and attractive select fire sub-machine gun. Magazines retain their orig Parkerized finish with some light surface corrosion. Bore is very good; shiny with some slight pitting near the muzzle. A fine and fun little sub-machine gun. 49296-15 JWK33 (3,500-5,000) – Lot 3776
