CaptMax Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 I found two styles of West Hurley drums. Can anyone shed some information on these? They both look to be manufactured this way and dont seem to be modified after manufacturing.Thanks for your input.CaptMax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 There is probably no auto ordnance stamp on the face plate of the right one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriggerman Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 If they are 39 rounders with metal tabs for rotor fingers, they are Japanese toy gun drums WH was stamping up for real drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpw43 Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 I had a WH 100 round drum. It was made by a company called Valentine I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry Ploughboy Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 The Thompson magazine reference Thread here: http://http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9897may be of assistance. Also, "The Ultimate Thompson Book" (TUTB) by Tracie Hill has a section on post-WWII semi as well as full auto Thompsons and related accessories. TUTB can be found used as well as new from the usual internet book sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
