Overview

Although the Model 6 has an appearance similar to the Thompson submachine gun, it was intended to be sold as a low cost alternative for domestic law enforcement agencies in the United States. Normally produced with a wood stock, pistol grip and front grip, the overall length is approximately 30" with the barrel being 9". The magazine is a stick design with a capacity of 30 rounds.

Variants

A Model 7 version was made in 1952, the differences being that it was able to fire from a closed bolt and has a fire mode selector on. Only a few of these were made in the 1950s.
