JTinIN Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 (edited) For a Savage M1 Thomson Subgun, besides ammo, mags and more ammo, would appreciate ideas on what to keep on hand for two cases: Common parts to have on hand for field repares (aka good travel bag for out of town match, range etc.). Options on a 50 year parts kit (assume one barrel, couple set of higher wear items etc.). Thanks John Update from search: Earlier Posting on Spare Parts recommending spare bolt complete with firing pin, spring, hammer and hammer pin and extractor. Then a spare lower complete and a spare barrel like the one on the gun. Edited August 23, 2004 by JTinIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill in VA Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I'd suggest a barrel, a set of springs, a buffer, and a magazine catch. These seem to be the parts getting the most wear. OTOH, I've put quite literally tens of thousands of rounds through my M1 TSMG, and the only thing that failed was the rear sight rivets. (I still like to have a few spares handy "just in case" though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "M1" I am looking at has the rear sight with wings spot welded to the receiver, is this a rebuild type option or "someones latter change?", also the front of the rear sight base slightly covers the rear edge of the top logo.
