Full-auto only operation with slotted receiver tube cut-out for bolt to be held to the rear as on the MP-40, folding wire-loop shoulder brace much like the Madsen, and charging handle which doubles as a forward bolt lock in the manner of the Austen and others. A real cornucopia of similarities to other earlier machine gun designs. Electronic NFA registry indicates “IMPORTED NFA FIREARM” as the manufacturer.

Wood grips extremely fine with light handling marks. Black rubber cheek protector on shoulder loop extremely fine. Bore is extremely fine with firing residue in the grooves. Bolt face extremely fine. Mechanics are crisp. The Swedish M/45 (Swedish K) was the standard submachine gun for Sweden from 1945 to 1965, and it is much admired and sought after as a recreational machine gun here in the United States. This model saw service in Vietnam, and some specimen found their way to the United States in the hands of returning American Servicemen. Specimens seldom surface for sale and when they do they are usually part of an estate situation, or when the owner has another specimen they are keeping.
