[sieveboy]

I love mine, wish it had a better trigger but otherwise a lot of fun.

 

[Marty McFly]

I was talking to my ffl today about getting one. Congrats

 

[5 DOLLAR FOOT LONG]

Yes that is awesome. If I had that I would be re-enacting the scene from home alone.

 

[Daddy Mac]

You did the right thing.

 

[Quantavious G]

 

[MisterHappy]

Got the bucks for it? Go for it.

'Murica!

 

[Knob Creek]

Bought mine years ago and shot it in American Zoot Shooter matches. All Gangster Roaring 20’s theme matches. Great fun.

 

[Picton]

You did the right thing.

Now take your dame out to paint the town red and make sure you show her a real swell time.

 

[Nick Leduc]

Never shot one, handled one at SHOT a few years ago. Was surprised at how heavy they were. I could only imagine how heavy it is with a full drum.

 

[Rockrivr1]

It’s a bucket list gun for me!

 

[greencobra]

flip it as an assault rifle, see if you can double your money.

 

[Ecosystem3]

lucky!

Was that the one just listed for $3k in Bridgewater?
Nice package

 

[Mountain]

Dad was issued one in full auto as a USMC pilot in Vietnam. He always regretted not stuffing it into a bag or locker and bringing it back.

 

[Mr.E]

Real tommy gun or neutered?
Aren’t real ones about 15k?

I think we all know we are talking fully semi auto

 

[1776]

Markings on the drum and mags?

 

[Mr.E]

I think we all know we are talking fully semi auto

I thought you could only get full or semi auto, kind of cool they sell full semi autos now.
I’d do to the range wearing a three piece suit every time I shot it.

 

[ColdDayInHell]

Obligatory

Holy crap, I just saw this on the classifieds, you moved quickly. Respect. I love that the acoustic guitar case also has a cut out for the drum magazine. Such a cool and collectable package.

Average is almost double that.

My dad was a WWII armorer, and liked them, as long as they had the horizontal fore-grip, and a stick magazine. He said the vertical grips were prone to damage, and the drums would easily jam, with a tiny dent.

Heavy buggers, indeed.

 

[1776]

Looks like the case also has a slot for a 22 conversion mag

Used to fire them off the back of a DE in 1968 to 1972, they will walk up on you on full auto, fun to shoot but a bitch to load 30 round mags.

I saw one at HSC several months ago. Pristine condition. It drew a little gathering.

Yeah, they weigh a friggin' ton!
I bought a used 1927A1 back in the mid-2000's, IIRC I paid $900 for it.
Came with a 20 and a 30 round stick mag, plus a "Mass Compliant" 10 round drum.
(yeah, I know, what a joke)
It was made in Worcester Mass, so it had to be post 1999 production, because that's when Kahr bought A/O.
BTW, the stock is NOT quick-detachable on the Kahr made guns.
I later got a few more pre-ban 30 round sticks and a 50 round drum.
The original WW2 stick mags need to be modified slightly to work in the newer guns, the locking hole needs to be slightly elongated with a Dremel, like the one seen above in post#2.
It's pretty accurate and fun to shoot, but not for long sessions, because it is so damn heavy.
Also, installing and removing the drums are a real PITA if you don't have the "Third Hand" tool, because the bolt does not have a hold-open feature.
This wasn't a problem with an original full-auto because those fired from an open bolt.

 

[Medicine Man]

Bad ass. I saw that today, but had my eyes on something else. Congrats.

 

[Broc]

Bro, I will pick you up with the Ford Model A. I will bring my trench gun.

Let's go rob banks.
