I thought a Pedersen Device sold last year at Knob Creek. Anybody recall? Sold for $8k. When you have bills to pay...

[Mohawk]

I wonder if there will be a US Marshall attached to it. As there are not supposed to be any of these still floating around. Anyone know if it has PPW?

[Rick the Librarian]

No reason why, unless you said the above in jest. The Pedersen Device is semi-automatic and perfectly legal to own in most states. Estimates of those still left range from a couple of dozen to as many as a 100.

And 20 or so years ago, one sat on a table at a small Kansas gun show for $2,500.00 It had everything with it including some spare magazines in the carrier. A lot of money back then.
