Original Soviet WWII PPSh-41 Aluminum Receiver Display Machine Pistol Serial БЛ 5853 with Drum Magazine and Sling

Original Item: Only One Available. These have become very difficult to find, and this is definitely a well marked example! This is a great Russian PPsh-41 display Machine Pistol, built on a BATF compliant non-firing cast aluminum display receiver. As the receiver is completely inert and was never a functional component, that makes this display gun totally legal to own without a license of any kind. Every part on this display gun is original manufacture other than the upper receiver. The barrel is a fabricated replacement, and there is no receiver latch, so there is no way to open the receiver at all. This makes a perfect display piece of an exceptionally hard to find WWII Sub-Machine Gun.

This example comes complete with an original drum magazine, which will be deactivated where required. It also comes with the correct leather and canvas Soviet carrying sling, which is in very good condition, showing wear from service and some cracking to the leather. The receiver tang on the bottom is marked with the full serial number БЛ 5853, which matches the marking on the trigger guard. The stock is also stamped with БЛ 5853 on the left side, though it is a bit faint.

This example is really in great shape, having been repainted with our lovely gunmetal gray spray paint. The safety still moves and the trigger can still be pulled on this example, and the magazine catch is fully functional as well. There are no cracks in the stock, which looks great, showing just a bit of wear. The butt trap door is still present, opening relatively easily, though it is empty.

A great display piece, ready to add to your WWII or Cold War collection!

History of the PPSh-41:
The PPSh-41 (Russian: Пистоле́т-пулемёт Шпа́гина, tr. Pistolét-pulemyót Shpágina, lit. 'Shpagin's machine pistol') is a Soviet submachine gun designed by Georgi Shpagin as a cheap, simplified alternative to the PPD-40. Common nicknames are "Pe-Pe-Sha" from its three-letter prefix and "Papasha" meaning daddy.

The PPSh was a magazine-fed selective fire submachine gun using an open-bolt, blowback action. Made largely of stamped steel, it could be loaded with either a box or drum magazine, and fired the 7.62×25mm Tokarev pistol round.

The PPSh saw extensive combat use during World War II and the Korean War. It was one of the major infantry weapons of the Soviet armed forces during World War II.
