john Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 these aren't due til November 3rd. They do this sometimes...really quick sellouts turn into a quick second order for them....just gotta keep trying!! I used the same number and "voila"! There they were. I ordered three as I can't afford any more right now, but if ya go for it quickly, I'd bet a bunch of us can grab some of 'em! Good Luck all! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Forgot to note that you can just plug in the last five digits of the number (92953) and the search engine will take you to the ad. The first five are just a catalog number for their own records. Good luck!! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Glad ya got in on time. See you in a couple weeks. Anyone care to have a guess at how long these things will last before being sold out? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/dry.gif My guess is by 8pm tonight (central) they'll be all gone! and I was feeling bad because I missed them before!! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif john (happy now! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/tongue.gif ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgeport28A1 Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I ordered 1 drum, time was 18:30 CST. Thanks for the heads up John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I just placed another order and also tried to have it shipped to an address outside Ohio. I'm not sure it will work because the "restricted item" e-mail that SG sent in regard to my first order indicated they were using the billing address. (see quote below) I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Roland, Headless Thompson Gunner Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Just ordered 2. My billing address is Maryland, a restricted state, so I had them sent as a gift to a buddy in PA. SG didn't complain about that. Let us all now hold our breath...

First Sergeant Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 I ordered 3, shipped to Alabama (hope that state is ok) and received the club price on all three. We'll see...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philasteen Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 I just reordered using my father's credit card. You can order up to 3 getting the "member" discount, beyond that they cut the discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD. Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Wow, I just came in from a night at the Skeet club and almost did not check my computer. Thanks for the heads up. One more drum will fit nicely in my safe. The shipping is outrageous but the price is hard to beat. Hopefully, more will be on the way from overseas at even cheaper prices. Thanks again.

deerslayer Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 I was at their factory outlet store in the twin cities today and about 5 p.m. Said they didn't have any. They didn't offer to see if any were coming in either. I'll have to say the people working there were not the most ambitious looking bunch of people I've ever seen.

kyle Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 I ordered (2) this morning after seeing post. Hope things work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Sergeant Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Same here...cancelled my order due to the Billing address. Wonder if they would ship if the billing address is another state for instance and the shipping address is Ohio? Doubt it.......Guess Ohioians are just out of luck on this one. Damn !!

Roland, Headless Thompson Gunner Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 I changed the billing address on one of my seldom used cards to my folks address in PA. I get online statements so it doesn't really matter. I tried again with my new billing address and a PA shipping address and looks like that will work, for now. The games we play...

TSMGguy Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 As I understand it, TSMG L drums were made by the millions prior to and in the early months of WWII. Early experience showed the drums to be too heavy and slow to load for general combat use. XX mags were more generally issued and XXX mags were developed instead. The drums mostly then went overseas as lend lease aid, primarily to the USSR and Great Britain. I think that with the lifting of the large capacity magazine ban, we're seeing what could be just the leading edge of a flood of these drums, and that they will shortly (within a year) be cheaper than Kahr drums are today. Importers will initially see them as very desireable indeed, but there are so few guns that they will fit, and large markets such as NY, NJ, and CA are closed off. It will be, IMHO, a buyers market. I think that you'll shortly be able to complete your WWII drum collection (all manufacturers) for very nearly what Sportsman's Guide wants for just one today.

Jay Baker Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Brian, give them your credit card number, they don't charge you till November when they're ready to ship anyway, if ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 TSMGguy and PhilOhio, The essence of your posts is why I bought only one. I too believe that the floodgates may open on these items and the price will plummet. I consider this purchase as hedging my bets. Let's all hope I loose money on this deal and 9 months from now WWII Thompson drums are 100 bucks a pop!!! Now if I could just beat Jr. out of those Colt magazines he has no use for....
