Standard grade carbine with ultra rare 12″ rnd bbl, square base front sight with German silver blade and an original replacement carbine ladder rear sight.

Accompanied by an ATFE letter date stamped July 11, 2005 exempting this carbine from the provisions of the National Firearms Act of 1936 and classifies it as a “Curio or Relic”, and therefore can be sold under the normal provisions of ATFE regulations.
