No patent or documentation ha been uncovered (that I am aware of, anyway), but the exact same device is found on gun from the MP18,I through the MP40, including the MP35, MP28,II, and Erma EMPs like this one. <\/p>\n<p>The device is simply a rotating locking bar that engages into a slot cut in the bolt of the gun. When engaged, it locks the bolt in the forward position. Installation was simple, requiring a slot in the receiver and bolt and three tapped holes by which the safety is screwed onto the receiver. In some cases (like the MP40) a slight relief of a stock or handguard was also required to fit. Not all police SMGs have this device, but it is not an uncommon addition to find.<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
