Perfectly restored by a friend of ours. This is hell of a deal and I personally shot it at last years Big Bore Blast. We will waive our DD transfer fee if you are in PA. $200 ATF fee still applies.

Told the misses NO MORE MG's for 2026, but honey, this is really a good deal!!

We would like to introduce our newest rental machine gun: a Port Said Swedish K chambered in 9mm.

Info: The "Port Said Swedish K" refers to the Egyptian license-produced version of the Swedish Carl Gustaf m/45 submachine gun (commonly called the "Swedish K" in U.S. service).

The original Swedish m/45 (also known as Kulsprutepistol m/45 or "Kpist m/45") is a simple, reliable 9×19mm Parabellum (9mm Luger) open-bolt blowback submachine gun designed in Sweden during World War II and adopted in 1945. It features a folding stock, a perforated barrel shroud, and a distinctive 36-round "trapezoidal" box magazine that's wider at the rear for better reliability in dirt, dust, or cold conditions. It has a cyclic rate of about 600 rounds per minute, weighs around 3.35 kg (empty), and measures 808 mm extended / 550 mm folded.

The Egyptian "Port Said" Variant: In the 1950s, Sweden sold production tooling and provided technical assistance to Egypt, which manufactured the gun under license at the Maadi Factories. The Port Said is essentially an exact copy of the early m/45 (not the later m/45B pattern that most Swedish guns were updated to). It looks and functions identically, often featuring Arabic markings on the receiver (including "Port Said").

A later, simplified Egyptian variant called the Akaba exists with changes like a shorter barrel, no barrel jacket, and a wire stock similar to the U.S. M3 "Grease Gun."

Key specs (same as the m/45):
Caliber: 9×19mm Parabellum
Action: Open-bolt blowback
Length: 808 mm (extended) / 550 mm (folded)
Barrel: 212 mm
Weight: ~3.35 kg empty
Magazine: 36-round box
Rate of fire: ~600 rpm

History and Use:
The Port Said saw combat with Egyptian forces in the Suez Crisis (1956), Six-Day War (1967), and Yom Kippur War (1973).
It has appeared in various conflicts worldwide, including in the hands of insurgents, African forces, and others (e.g., seized in Mali, used in Iraq, Afghanistan region).

The original Swedish K was famously used by U.S. Special Forces (SEALs, SOG, CIA) in Vietnam for its reliability (it can fire right after surfacing from water), compactness, and controllability. Many were "sanitized" (markings removed) for covert ops.

Port Said examples are sought after by collectors as they are mechanically identical to early Swedish models but often more affordable or available in certain markets (subject to local laws). They can be distinguished by markings, finish (sometimes black or different paint), and minor manufacturing details.

Thank you ATF !!

No, there isn’t a repeal of the NFA. And no, the ATF isn’t going to be defunded or abolished any time soon. But we have to take and cheer the wins when and were we can get them.
