Rolland Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 The shop I work for has just received an 80% receiver for the M1A1 after close to 18 months wait. Can any one direct me to a site/book/ person that could provide the receiver drawings. This is the first time I have been given the task on the Thompson, have done other guns just not the Thompson. It is being built on a Class 2 Manufacturer's Class 3 dealer license. i live in central Arizona.

TennesseeTaylor95 Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Weaponsguild had some pretty good blueprints in their blueprint section for various guns. If you have access to it, I'd look there if you are having a hard time locating them elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolland Posted August 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 thanks for the help I did find some on https://www.scribd.com/document/37712185/Thompson-m1a1-Blueprints that looks like they will work. just check against the receiver and see if things will match up.

Rolland Posted August 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 I just finished machining the final cuts on the M1A1 80% receiver. The work Philadelphia Ordnance does is first rate all the preliminary cuts were exact to the drawings looks like we will have a live gun shortly. Its nice to see that there is still quality work being done in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
