Barry Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 There is an interesting picture of a Chinese Thompson on the Japanese section of gunboards.com They are looking for a translation of receiver markings. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill in VA Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hell, at first I thought it may have been Randall's post since his handle and the handle of the poster sounded so close together, but they're in different states according to the gunboards' poster's profile. Anyway, here's the link: http://www.gunboards.com/forums/topic.asp?...TOPIC_ID=118532 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry Ploughboy Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 From the translation, it appears to have been made at the same place the Chinese warlord made the .45 ACP Broomhandle Mauser pistols. The Chinese of that era were apparently quite fond of the .45 ACP round. MP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HANS Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 QUOTE (PhilOhio @ Aug 10 2005, 01:08 AM) Then when the commies got their hands on some of them, they carved the beejeebers out of the grip frames and added a mag adapter for PPSh-41 banana mags, bushed the bolt faces to take the 7.63 x 25 rd., and installed the appropriate (.30 cal.) barrel. According to Hill: THOMPSON -- THE AMERICAN LEGEND, that conversion was a Lend-Lease item (or at least there was one very similar to that, since the accompanying photo shows a curved PPSh-41-type magazine) and delivered "in great numbers" to the Chinese. Would someone know who made the kit and if it changed the parameters (weight, rate of fire especially) in any way? Many thanks!

HK91 Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Recon Ordnance Company of Fond du Lac WI had a Chinese transfeable Thompson for sale for 80K. I guess it is pretty rare for 80K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondAmend Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 I believe the Chinese TSMG that Jerry P. had (or more likely still has) is one of only a very few Chinese TSMG Vietnam bring-back guns that was amnesty registered in '68. Hence the scarity as a transferable gun in the U.S. You want expensive, try buying one of the very few transferrable GE mini-guns, $250,000 or up last I heard.

HK91 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 If you want really expensive Larry from Capital City Firearms CCF has a transferable Mk 19 40mm belt fed grenade launcher for 450K. I guess it is the ONLY transferable MK 19 out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 In China, the army does more the just fight wars. In times of no war they work for the state as laborers. This poster in english; "I'm a war hero and a worker hero" But translated as a Thompson nut; "in times of peace they take my Thompson and give me this damn moonie hoe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron A Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 I have a chinese 45 acp broom handle - quality suffers - rough workmanship as is their copy of the TSMG. It is the only gun that looks worse than a Kahr. Jerry P's gun is rare and could be worth what he was last asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt21a Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 yep and{recon} jerry still has it.nobody so far has ponied up the fund's.maybe it's true worth is the $25,000.00 paid for it. and not the crazy asking price. i guess the guy from wang's take out figure's he has to sell to much egg-fook- yung to buy it...so he can dream.... take care,ron p.s i can't help myself it's the med's..wink!
