VERY RARE and highly desirable "T" prefix ("Toolroom" gun) Smith & Wesson Model 76 machine gun. The standard civilian production guns were serialized with a "U" prefix U101 through U6100. There was a small navy contract produced and delivered during the Vietnam war. Close examination reveals the different technique of welding as compared to other standard production models. Originally developed in the late 1960s, the S&W Model 76 was designed to fill the niche of a lightweight and compact 9mm SMG after the American special forces community was cut off from sources of the Carl Gustaf M45 "Swedish K" SMG; the Swedish government, neutral in the Vietnam War, was uncomfortable with their exports being used in the conflict.
