“TEXAS TRAVELAIR” VIETNAM ERA M-10 MACHINE GUN COVERT OPERATIONAL BRIEFCASE.

[davester]

ORIGINAL, NEVER USED “TEXAS TRAVELAIR” VIETNAM ERA M-10 MACHINE GUN COVERT OPERATIONAL BRIEFCASE.

Unused leather covered briefcase with brass hinges, hard rubber feet and spring loaded brass latches. This actually is a covert operations briefcase from the Vietnam era designed to hold a Powder Springs MAC-11 .380 ACP machine gun with suppressor, with slight modification other models can be used. It is fitted internally so that such a weapon fits perfectly inside and may be carried with the bolt cocked and ready to fire. The muzzle fits into a recess in the side of the case and the trigger is actuated using a spring lever at the bottom of the case. On the left side, near the top, is what appears to be an identification card slot which any ordinary businessman would have. It actually conceals the hole where projectiles will exit when the firing lever is actuated at the bottom of the case. The operative utilizing this case would approach the intended target with the case under one arm, and then when close enough would depress the lever firing and then walk away. The briefcase would fill with smoke and expended brass cases and there would be some smoke exuding from the case, but the deed would be done and this case is far less conspicuous then getting on or off an airplane or walking down the street with a suppressed machine pistol under a coat. CONDITION: Extremely fine and never utilized with no evidence of firing residue inside its interior. Velcro straps intact and serviceable. Brass latches and fittings are a pleasing, aged patina. Exterior leather of case in very fine condition. This is a wonderful bit of espionage history from the classic heyday when it captured the imagination of the public. Very scarce item to find today in unused condition.  Note that installing a semi auto firearm in this case may constitute constructing an AOW and would have to be registered as such.  Using it with a registered submachinegun would not be an  issue.  $4,900.00 plus S&H to your location.  JDG Enterprise 913-488-1459

Case still available. Ultimate MAC accessory!

[MachineGunGuy]

Is it still available?

[davester]

Hello, yes I believe it is.  I just sent a text to my client who owns it to make sure.  Will advise.

[ironriver]

just picked up a M11A1 and can for my private collection. Wish I had the money... I wonder how many times something like this was used in real world situations. 

[davester]

No Worries.  Yes that would make a Hell of a movie!  Enjoy the new M11A1!

Thanks for the video Frank!  For the Gent who asked if the case was still available I am still trying to contact the owner in PA.  He usually gets back promptly so hope he is OK.

I finally was able to reach the owner of the MAC case and yes it is still available.
