As for the stock, I did the same thing, It's good to keep the Orig. stock in the best condition possible. Your photo of the broken firing pin looks exactly like my broken one, that's the major weak point. Pete A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprat Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) glad you had the firing pins and got her going again, since I am running semi I have yet to break a pin and I have extra's ,but i think I will order a couple Christy pins just to have oh I have a spare stock for my M-60 also, mags are on the way sprat Edited March 13, 2011 by sprat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks, sprat and GUNGUY45. You know, I was going to change the firing pin out to save the old one after I shot it a little bit. But never made it that far. I have shot 390rds so far. I love this weapon so far. Of course it's my first SMG. I have waited over 4mo. so far for transfer from individual to my class 3 dealer, for another M50 Reising. Looking forward to it. I do have patients.....and you have to have that with NFA stuff! here's a pic of the replacement stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprat Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) yep looks like a two screw trigger guard and a small screw for retaining the reciever and sling swivels on the bottom, seems in nice shape good luck with it I am running with the same style stock only the swivels are on the side sprat Edited March 14, 2011 by sprat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalbert Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 jhm, The bluing looks really nice on that Reising. It has a 29-finned barrel, and a 7000 range serial number. Good times! David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com This is another one, ser.# 11xx. I am waiting on the tax stamp for it , it's at my Class 3 dealer. This is the 2nd Reising, Early in this post is pics of my first Reising M50 with ser.# 70xx. I bought the ser.#11xx sight unseen. Called a dealer in Georgia I seen off Subguns.com, asked him to explained the condition of 2 differant Reising's to me, one Military (parked) and one civilian (blued) model. I like blued guns so I took the civilian one. I was "real real happy" when it came in (waited 6mo. for transfer to my class 3) and it looked as good as it did. I love the fact that the ser,# was as low as it was. I was so inpressed how my first one felt and shoot that I wanted to get another one. For what submachine guns can cost $$, I thought they are a deal. After tearing down and learning my first one. I like them even more now. Don't get me wrong I would love to have a old Thompson M1A1, and a H&K MP5. $$$ jhm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Don't get me wrong I would love to have a old Thompson M1A1, and a H&K MP5. $$$ jhm jhm, I've owned 2 MP-5's for almost 23 years now. (They were a lot cheaper in 1988) I usually shoot 30 rounds out of one of them each August. They're fun, and for some, they're the holy grail, but right now I enjoy shooting my Reising and my West Hurley M1 more than the MP-5's. So, my suggestion is to keep shooting the Reisings, and come to the annual meeting of The American Thompson Association in Ohio, and I'll let you shoot the MP-5's as much as you want during the free shoot. Nowadays, I usually get more of a kick watching other people shoot them than shooting them myself. David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds awsome, would love to shoot one of those MP-5's and the West Hurley M1! I have been to a few machinegun shoots and always pay to shoot the Thompson. I did see at one of the MGShoots a MP-5 with a spiderman paint job. I'm going to look into the annual meeting of The American Thompson Association in Ohio and check it out. mjh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need help , my man. Chris Chris, I'm probably beyond help at this point... I still love to shoot my MG's. I just don't get the chance, or don't make the chance to shoot them very often. I shot them a lot more often during the first 10 years of ownership. Letting other folks shoot them is always fun...There's nothing quite like seeing the smile on someone's face after they shoot a new MG.

emmagee1917 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I can see where your coming from . I really enjoyed taking the scouts out and watching them. Never - the- less , taking the BAR out two weeks later for myself was "more" fun. About the only thing where it's more fun to watch others than to shoot it myself is the 60 MM mortar. I love to see the heads shoot up and follow the bomb more than doing it myself . I can , by watching them , look out to mark the landing for later recovery just as it hits. I feel this point of view would change if I had more than inert dummies to shoot , though. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty1 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 JHM, Sorry to be so long in answering your last inquiry about Reising records, but life interferes. What I was attempting to say, is that the records for manufacturing dates for Reisings no longer exist unless Batfe has them. I was lucky enough to get the exact date from H&R when they were still in business, but Remington took all the Reising records when they tool over, and the records for the Reisings were then lost by them through negligence or fire. So they are unavailable from them. I also think the stock was changed as some others have suggested, as I have the 2 screw trigger guard and the flush mounted stock pin. i don't think they changed the stocks that quickly if mine, which was made in Dec. 41, and yours later in Dec. 41 was made that month also. I hope by the time you get this things are chattering away. I have had no problems with mine since the spring changes I mentioned, and replacing the broken firing pin. Good luck..

jhm Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Bounty1....no problem. I know how it goes. I agree that it is not the stock it came with because I have seen one with the ser.# just in front of mine and one just after my ser.# and they both have small take down screw. And 2 screw trigger guard. I have changed out all the springs and it runs like a sewing machine. .45ACP just sounds awsome in full auto. I think the other one I'm waiting on when it gets here I'm going to put a new firing pin and new set of springs and of course give it a good scrubbing. In the mean time I just got a tax stamp for my SBR AR-15 9mm RRA very cool little rifle. Going to shoot it at the end this week I hope. Thanks for the info....up date! mjh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccsteele Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Just got back from range and filling out transfer paper on my Reising m50. I would appreciate any information on my Reising as the ser number is 203x. And also has a sticker on the stock that reads San Patricio County 0675.Any history on this Reising would be greatly appreciated.Thank You,Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
