This listing is for a LaFrance Specialties KG9L, a 9mm machine pistol. It’s built as a full-auto conversion using an Intratec TEC-9 lower receiver combined with a registered metal upper receiver manufactured by LaFrance Specialties. This configuration was designed to overcome the weakness often found in the polymer frames of original TEC-9 full-auto conversions.
About the KG9L
The TEC-9 was one of the early designs to utilize polymer frames in pistol construction. However, when converted for full-auto fire, the polymer lower receiver could be a point of failure under heavy use or with hotter ammunition. LaFrance Specialties solved this by registering the stronger metal upper receiver as the serialized component, effectively making it the firearm, and allowing the TEC-9 lower to serve as the host. This model is listed on the Form 3 paperwork as manufactured by LaFrance Specialties, model KG9L.
Condition
This pistol is in excellent condition, showing minimal signs of use. The metal upper receiver is clean, with a minor handling mark on the rear. The polymer lower receiver is also in good shape, with no cracks or significant wear. The internal components are solid and function correctly.
