Sig Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I was lucky enough to find a box of shot shells, thought I would share it with everyone as you do not see them often. http://home.cogeco.ca/~msigillito/ss1.jpg http://home.cogeco.ca/~msigillito/ss2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawksnest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Beautiful find Sig. Wouldn't it be nice if someone made reproductions so we could shoot a magazine every once- in-a-while. Nice display piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sig Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hey if anyone ever saw the inside of one of these before was there something holding the shells? Curious because of the tissue paper how they were placed inside. thanks michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I have two full boxes. Every other round is upside down. That seems to help spave them out without them falling over in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIONHART Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Of all the boxes of Shot Shells that I have owned, none ever had tissue paper. The Shells were placed inside, like Fred has described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Scarpino Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Sig, Thanks for "finding" my misplaced box of shot shells!!! I forgot where I put those darn things. I'll send you some money for shipping and you can send them home! Cool deal, hope you got them at a decent price, or did you really "find" them!!! I've got two mint condition clips for shot shells but only a few shells. And my clips are not for sale, so don't even ask. Everybody have a great day! Have you hugged your Thompson today?

Sig Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I knew the tissue paper was not right. Someone in the past did that I think to keep the pressure off of the shell cover itself. I will rearrange them as described the right way, thanks Fred and Lionhart!! Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamm Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Those are cool! Surprising someone does not make them today... Are any available for .45 pistols? Do they ruin the rifiling of the barrel? Neat find! Zamm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 They still make shot shells. I don't know who they are, but I've seen some at gun shows. The new ones have a plastic front with the buck shot. I used to have some for my pistol eons ago. Great to hunt bunnies with in .45. Really. I just wonder how they would work in a FA gun.

knobcreeknut Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 cci currently makes shotshells , should be avilable at your local dealer or he could order them. they dont feed very well in most pistols, so i doubt they would run in a f. a. thompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbruce Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 The CCI aluminum cased ammo both 45acp and 9m/m luger function fine in auto pistols,the slide retracts cocks and feeds a fresh round into the chamber.The latest ammo has a long case with a slight crimp at the neck which holds a clear blue plastic wad over the #9 shot. I havent tried it in a Thompson yet but will in the near future and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondAmend Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I recently tried the CCI aluminum case .45 ACP shot shells in a TSMG. Did not cycle in either semi or full. I have a fairly new recoil spring but even so the ammo I normally shoot (Federal Red Eagle) works just fine. I appears as if the mass of the shot in the CCI loads does not present enough impedance to the bolt/actuator/spring mechanism to fully cycle the action. The CCI loads do work just fine in the 1911 which also has a rather new recoil spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSU Tiger Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 If I recall correctly, didn't a Thompson ad mention that the shot rounds could be used for crowd control, giving the mob a "gentle pelting" of birdshot? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamm Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 That would control my mob, I'm not sure how "gently" the "pelting" would be though, http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif Zamm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbruce Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Tried the CCI shot loads in a 27-A1 that feeds everything.They do feed from a stick magazine but don't function the bolt. Tried to manually cycle the bolt all I got were jams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
