Who would buy a TOMMY GUN??

[AHM]

I'll stick with a Boat

Instead of (more than current)

It's way more expensive fun

¿Por qué no los dos?

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.

Don't forget the hat.

Matching tie and hanky.

 

[one-eyed Jack]

Am I missing something? What the hell is a full semi auto ? Anyway, MGs are easy to price. Roughly: 1985 dealer x 10= current price. 1985 retail X 10=current price. Your results can vary. Jack.

 

[Rehoboth Dave]

Obligatory

Now if he had only lit his cigar with the end of the hot barrel it would have been perfect.

A full semi auto is like a semi auto revolver. You pay for it with cash, it's like money

Do they shoot them in that episode? I don't remember.

I loved this one:

Well, Zabo, et. al. make a lot of noise down in the street
hitting Bela's place until Scotty stuns everything in the surrounding block...

I’ve shot a full auto one (Jack’s. Thanks again Jack!) and after that the semi auto ones just aren’t the same. Not saying I wouldn’t own one but I’d probably end up bump firing it every time I went to the range.

Bumping an old thread because I went ahead and bought one. Yes of course I had to bump fire it but it's actually more fun to shoot it like it's supposed to be fired. Was ringing 10" steel at 75 yards with ease (holding high).
So the plan is to SBR it and maybe refinish it in a distressed Dulite patina sort of finish.
I understand the foregrip and its mount should be replaced when the 10.5" barrel goes on, otherwise it'll look stupid with a large gap under the barrel.
The wait on the form 1 begins. I've never done anything NFA but I understand I'll be grayer in the hair by the time it's approved.

Also R.I.P. Jack,
Thanks for all the great times at Monadnock. (And for fueling my obsession with the Thompson of course)

I SBR’ed mine and love It. I found the correct fore grip at Numrich Gun Parts and I put on an oversized cocking handle but have since gone back the the smaller original because it looks better and after a lot of shooting it no longer needs it. It does need a lot of lube to fun flawlessly.

 

[Broc]

F*ck you guys, now I have to SBR one.

Are you getting the barrel cut or buying a new barrel?
Which model are you buying (A1, M1)?

I bought my barrel right from AO.

What do you think ... .22 conversion for steel challenge?

Use a KIDD trigger.

I was going to, I was ready to spend the money, but the past few minutes of Googling tell me these kits are not sold anymore.

The gun world sucks. All the fun stuff dissapears, instead we get lame a** MLOK lever actions.

So you’re shooting the next match with an M lock lever action and speed loading tube?

New 10.5" barrel from Green Mountain.
It's the M1A1 look I'm going for so I bought the model that resembles that but just has the silly ass 16" barrel. Just not right for a Thompson.

 

[zmd]

@Broc it would kinda be cool for steel challenge. Definitely different.

Kahr makes sbr semi-auto Thompsons.

Did you replace the front grip mount? The one AO uses is way too wide to accept an original M1A1 grip but it cant be removed until the barrel is off.
I picked the gun up yesterday and put 150 trouble-free rounds through it. The bolt is definitely hard as f*ck to cock and I had bought the "EZ pull" kit for it prior to getting the gun. Didn't bother to put the kit in yet because I wanted to break the gun in with its original factory parts.
I have five 30- round mags, two of which I haven't oblonged the mag catch hole on yet. I may just keep those as-is.
The plan is to send the whole gun to a Thompson-savvy 'smith to have the barrel swapped, the sharp edges de-horned and the gun refinished in whatever is as close to Dulite as possible.

Top to bottom:
AO (they're made in PA now, not Worcester. When the heck did they move out of MA?)
Umarex Legend full auto bb gun
Original M1A1 parts kit on a dummy receiver

I saw that. I have never paid any attention to NFA stuff until now but I was under the impression that would not be an option for those of us behind the iron curtain of Mass.

 

[Scallops4Life]

Just sweet

 

[scottco]

I enjoy mine not sbr but it’s fun to shoot

 

[45collector]

I never shoot PCC for any of the competitions I do but I think I'd like to do so once or twice with this gun once it's SBR'd.

Also it would be super fun to run a mid-range 2gun match with it and a 1911!

 

[gerrycaruso]

My Thompson is select fire but SBRs are still legal in Ma as far as I know.

What's the difference between the top and side charging. Didn't realize they came both ways.

Do they make a FRT trigger for that? Id go in for half of the $$ and share.

They are but I believe for a MA resident to obtain the already SBR version that AO makes, you'd have to sift through Healey garbage, which most FFLs here adhere to. Catch my drift?
