Roland the Thompsongunner Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Bob Can the M1A1 be bought without the lower and wood like the 28 version? Some guys may have these parts from kits already. Thanks, thompsongunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMGguy Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Time has passed and now there is a manufacturer making a blank gun which uses a standard.45 blank and I have petitioned the ATF to allow the use of a standard size blank. In the meantime we have the blanks designed for the gun available. BobFrankly, that's what I was afraid of. Owners of early "guns" can only use PO's proprietary blank cartridges, while PO starts making guns that will use a standard .45 blank, available from more than one source.

anticus Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Sounds like it just needs a bolt change to accommodate the larger rim on standard blanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, thompsongunner I was curious about this as well. I really wanted to get in on the pre-order when they first came out. But wasn't able to.Now I may be able to swing it..... Thanks!

reconbob Posted August 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I am working on either an extra bolt or a modification of an existing bolt to be ableto use "standard" blanks. I will say again that the reason for the special blank was thatATF strongly suggested it was necessary for safety to get the gun approved. The new or a modified bolt would enable the use of both standard and Phila Ordblanks. If you have a trigger frame and stock and only need the upper the price of a complete upper is $1995.
