Cal. 37mm. S# 2635. Bbl. 12". Probably the best civilian variant of the iconic M79 "Thumper" 40mm launcher. Unlike the M79, the Federal Laboratories 37mm launcher does not require NFA paperwork, nor is it even considered a firearm. On the surface, it heavily resembles a single shot shotgun, though much larger. Bead style front sight w/ 50yd. rear peep sight integral to the takedown lever, also a dual aperture flip up rear peep sight for 75 & 100yds. Hardwood shoulder stock & checkered pistol grip panels. Stock terminated w/ plastic butt plate. All external metal parts wear their factory blued finish. CONDITION: Finish on exposed metal surfaces retains its factory blued finish, ranging in coverage from complete, to a faded browning w/ some light patina visible upon close inspection. Bore is quite clean compared to the vast majority of these typically encountered. The corrosive properties of the lift charges can be damaging to internals w/ out proper maintenance, however this one has not succumbed to this kind of abuse. While demonstrating some light fouling, it has clearly been used, while properly maintained. Fire control mechanism appears to function correctly. (02-24026/JZ). NON-GUN. $300-500.
