This Chester County Armory listing is for a rarely seen P.A.W.S. Inc. Model ZX-7 .45acp transferable sub machine gun. Also known as "The American Sterling", this rare and uniquely US-made ZX-7 serves as a fascinating homage to the venerable British Sterling L2A3 sub machine gun. Always enamored with the craftsmanship and design of the British Sterling, the ZX-7 was built and created by gunsmith and Class 2 manufacturer Bob Imel at his company, Police Automatic Weapons Services, in Salem, OR in the mid 1970's. Built from the ground up, Mr. Imel re-created the beautiful lines and wonderful reliability of the L2A3, but with his own unique redesigns and improvements, to make it a truly Americanized version. Of course, the improvements started first and foremost, by offering it in the American of all American calibers...the .45ACP. For an in-depth analysis of the differences between the British Sterling L2A3 and Bob Imel's creation, check out Ian at Forgotten Weapons and his wonderful video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKk9Ss6RJ80 Utilizing easy-to-come-by M3 Grease gun magazines, the ZX-7 functions amazingly well, with a cyclic rate of around 750 RPMS, making it markedly faster than the M3 Grease Gun and more inline with a 1928 Thompson. Robust and controllable, the ZX-7 in .45acp was only made in very small numbers by P.A.W.S. as a transferable SMG. Some counts have them as low as 20 or 25, as the 9mm version (the P.A.W.S. ZX-5), was made in significantly greater quantities. This specific model is serial number 20. This transferable sub machine gun is in excellent mechanical, as well as cosmetic condition. The internals do not note any wear and the bore is bright and shiny with crisp and clean rifling. The fire controls are in excellent condition, with solid placements on the selector controls in both semi-automatic and full-automatic modes, as well as a positive safety lockup. The original crinkle-style finish employed by Mr. Imel is in excellent condition, with only a few minor marks on the entire weapon. The metalwork is excellent, with no dings, dents, gouges, cracks, etc.. Two 30rd magazines are included with the purchase. This rare and unique weapon is currently on a Form 3 for easy transfer, with "P.A.W.S. Inc" listed as the manufacturer and "ZX7" listed as the model.

Snipers can rest their weapons almost anywhere. However, the foregrip isn’t the best option. Instead, many sniper rifles today tend to have bipod attachment points. The Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Suppressed performs best with a bipod. This WellFire replica comes with both scope and bipod. Bipods help with more than stability too. They reduce a lot of weight on your arms, and the less fatigued you are, the likelier you’ll shake. Stable arms will result in accurate shots. The Well L96 AWS weighs eight pounds, which is much more than a regular service rifle. You’ll want to have it steady all the time for the best performance. Most of the rifle is made of ABS plastic, a tough and light material that can withstand impact and falls. The aluminum barrel is lightweight yet strong. It will greatly increase accuracy compared to plastic counterparts. The adjustable stock and included scope work with the bipod to help shooters hit targets. You can change all settings until you feel comfortable. Having 40 rounds in the magazine lets you stay in the fight longer, unlike the real counterpart’s 10 or five rounds. With more time spent aiming down range, you can pick off targets quickly. Specifications: 370-400 FPS 40 rounds in the magazine Sling points Speedloader included Bipod included

Hk MP5-40 sear host built by Jayson of Investment Grade Firearms. This was built using a brand new demilled German Hk MP5-40,mp5 for sale and a Special Weapons receiver. The original gun was new, it was a crime to have to cut the original receiver up, but the kit of genuine German parts was a real catch. The SW receiver was the final perfected model. I have built several of these guns with Jayson, and they have been in perfect compliance. As this gun was built from a brand new gun, it was my favorite. This gun was tested by Jayson in full-auto before it was finished; it ran perfect and it is in perfect condition.

Browning A5 12 Ga. Full Choke Blonde Wood MFG: 1967. Modern upland field guns are well represented by the Sweet Sixteen Upland. This design makes the most of the increase in 16 gauge ammunition by combining it with a light chassis and beautifully finished wood. Its weight of slightly more than 6 pounds won't slow you down as you travel the distances in pursuit of roosters. When your friend used the phrase "Sweet Sixteen" in the not-too-distant past, you knew he was referring to a 16 gauge Browning Auto-5. The Sweet Sixteen models gained a devoted following among hunters, perhaps due to the smooth handling of these weapons, their light weight, or even just the way the name "Sweet Sixteen" sounds when said. "The Gentleman's Gauge" is the range between 16 and 18. For many hunters, the ideal ammo for the ideal firearm is 16 gauge. A well-built 16 gauge is closer to a 20 gauge in weight, has shot payload more like to a 12 gauge, and has patterning that outperforms both of them. Like its most revered predecessor, the Browning A5 16 gauge is built on a smaller, lighter receiver for reduced weight and a sleek feel in your hands. To maximize the performance of this renowned gauge, it also takes advantage of Total Barrel Dynamics and the Invector-DS choke tube technology. The humpback receiver profile lengthens the viewing plane to provide you with the same benefit that the original Auto 5s were renowned for. With a short-recoil controlled action that is so dependable we back it with a 5 year/100,000 round guarantee, the Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen is well on its way to becoming a modern classic. Kinetic energy, to put it simply, is the energy of motion. With its potent, quickly operated Kinematic Drive System, the Browning A5 makes better use of kinetic energy. Utilizing recoil energy, Kinematic Drive creates the mechanical motion required to move the action. The business that pioneered the use of autoloading shotguns has now refined this tried-and-true idea. The simplicity of design for Kinematic Drive's consistent, dependable performance with a wide range of weights and under the harshest conditions of weather, temperature, moisture, and filth is its most appealing feature. This weapon is built to function in every situation. Because gases are discharged through the barrel and away from the action, operation is clean.
ENTER THE AMERICAN 180 The Casull’s successor, the American 180, weighs less than a stripped M16A1 unloaded; most variations are described as being well made and reliable. Original magazines carried 165 or 177 rounds, though larger-capacity drums of up to 275 rounds are still in production today. The 275-round drums do effectively occlude the weapon’s sights, however. E&L Manufacturing, the current producer of American 180 drums, includes an elevated front sight along with the the first 275-round drum you buy. The open-bolt mechanism of the American 180 incorporates a series of grooves in the sides of the bolt that very effectively channel dirt and debris out of the mechanism. The British L2A3 Sterling submachine gun sports similar grooves. The non-reciprocating charging handle is oriented on the left side of the receiver, towards the rear, so that the bulky drum magazine does not interfere with its operation. The drum chassis spins on top of the receiver as it empties. There is a captive screw underneath the forward aspect of the receiver that allows the gun to break down quickly into two handy components. The stock removes with the push of a button in the manner of the M1928 Thompson submachine gun. Particularly with a short 9-inch barrel in place, this makes the American 180 easily packable. The assembly and disassembly processes are relatively straightforward and easily mastered. ADDITIONAL 180 DETAILS The magazine release is fairly intuitive and simple to manage, though the bulky nature of the pan magazine does produce a cluttered sight picture. The ergonomics of the stock and pistol grip are better reasoned than those of the Thompson that obviously inspired them. Overall, the American 180 is a comfortable gun to run. Semi-auto versions of the American 180 have been offered in the past, and these guns come up for sale occasionally on online used-gun forums. While the practicality of a 10-pound semi-auto .22 packing 177 rounds on board might be questionable, there is no better tactical tool should you ever find yourself attacked by a battalion of malevolent chipmunks. I’ve frankly bought guns for dumber reasons. The magazines are a holy pain to load, and the American 180 runs through ammo as politicians burn through other people’s money. E&L Manufacturing also offers a magazine loader that renders this chore a bit less onerous. A single mechanical spring-loaded winder can be used to power multiple magazines. SO WHAT’S IT GOOD FOR? The American 180 was formally adopted by the Utah Department of Corrections, and it was undoubtedly intimidating when wielded from a guard tower at their state penitentiary. There are rumors that the Rhodesian Special Air Service used a few of these novel guns operationally in Africa. However, humping the African savanna with one of these hyperactive little buzz guns must have been a treat. The nature of the design demands that it be fed high-velocity ammo, so suppressed versions remain fairly noisy. Regardless, the company’s marketing efforts were compelling, and quite a few examples were indeed sold to local law enforcement agencies. Many of the guns available today were traded out of police arms rooms over the years. REAL-LIFE SHOOTOUT I could find but a single detailed anecdote involving the operational use of a laser-equipped American 180 by cops in a real-life shootout. In November of 1974, Officers Mike Gilo and Gary Jones of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department attempted to subdue a pair of evildoers driving a Chevrolet Camaro. As the driver of the Camaro accelerated in an effort to escape, his foolhardy passenger produced a handgun and fired at the officers. Gilo responded by unleashing a roughly 40-round burst through the back window of the suspects’ car while Jones engaged with his 12-gauge shotgun loaded with buckshot. The 12 gauge failed to connect; the American 180 stitched across the back window of the car, removing the lot of it. The driver then crashed the car; the passenger was found already heading towards room temperature as a result of multiple .22 LR wounds to his back. The driver was apprehended later, grievously wounded by multiple .22-caliber gunshot wounds but still breathing. In today’s litigious environment, a fully automatic weapon that spews rounds so enthusiastically would be a plaintiff’s attorney’s dream. In the 1970s, however, there apparently weren’t as many lawyers are there are today. HOW DOES IT RUN? Wow. Just wow. Loading the drums is just as big a hassle as I had anticipated; the American 180 does indeed burn through .22 LR ammo at a breathtaking rate. I sucked it up and bought 5,000 rounds for this project just so I wouldn’t feel the effects of ammo famine before I got done. Keeping bursts in the five-round range is not tough for a disciplined trigger finger, and New Math tells us that even the smaller drums would pack 35 such bursts in a single charge. Visualize the fully stoked American 180 like a 10-pound recoilless shotgun that carries 35 rounds onboard. When so employed, the American 180 is accurate and controllable, allowing you to keep every round within a standard silhouette at typical handgun ranges. Reaching out to 100 meters, the gun is more fun than a barrel of monkeys, particularly when fired into a wet target with a safe backstop. Each burst seems like the fistful of gravel we used to throw into the water when we were young boys, producing that lovely little coordinated splash around the point of aim. Against steel targets, the effect is positively musical. Much beyond 100 meters, the American 180 becomes an area weapon system. BAD-BREATH DISTANCES At bad-breath distances, the American 180 is just as nasty as the marketing literature claims it to be. The recoil is so trivial that you really could just about write your name with the thing. When firing a full magazine in a continuous burst from a proper rest, the tidy little gun will indeed group within about a teacup. Such antics will indeed put hair on your chest regardless of your gender, but you could die of old age trying to load enough drums to keep the process vibrant for a while. When appropriately maintained, the American 180 is a reliable and effective close-quarters weapon. With 275 rounds on board, the gun gets heavy, but it offers more controllable firepower than most anything else in the arms room. Given the dynamically rotating nature of the drum magazine and the unimpressive mechanical spunk of the .22 LR cartridge, the practicality of employing an American 180 in an austere field environment is questionable, however. PURE FUN The American 180 is one of the most novel and unusual combat weapons ever devised. For law enforcement or corrections applications, it indeed offers some unique capabilities. However, the real niche the American 180 enjoys is as a recreational range toy. Fairly easy to tote and all but recoilless, the American 180 lets you chew up the range like a beaver on crack. Loading drums will test your patience, and the gun’s appetite will earn you Christmas cards from your favorite ammo supplier. However, as a delightful way to kill a lazy Saturday afternoon at the range, the American 180 is indeed unparalleled. Lightweight, accurate for its genre and just crazy cool, the American 180 is 10 pounds of raw, unfiltered fun. AMERICAN 180 SPECS Caliber: .22 LR, .22 Short Magnum Barrel: 9 or 18.5 inches OA Length: 35.5 inches Weight: 5.7 pounds (empty) Stock: Polymer Sights: Front post, adjustable rear Action: Blowback-operated, full-auto Finish: Matte black Capacity: 165, 177, 220, 275 Rare Of Fire: 1,200 rpm
