Someone should tell them...


Recommended Posts

I find it kind of interesting (I have never closely examined a West Hurley) that the receiver says “Model 1928” above the serial number, but then it says “Caliber .45 M1” under the Thompson line... .45 M1?

Wow, this does not instill confidence in a buyer of their products...

 

I've bought 5 guns from OOW that I can think of. A couple of which I consider to be 'my favorites' in my collection. Probably just some intern made an honest mistake, it's not like the price was way out of bounds.

It's a West Hurley gun, not a Bridgeport. They used several different varieties of sight aside from real Lymans. This one, I am not familiar with though. It may have been cobbled together by a previous owner maybe from a 1917 Enfield

Price is entirely within the Hurley realm. Perhaps a bargain considering the includeds.

From the looks of the wear on the top of the receiver (which is a good sign) it looks like a reliable shooter.

My new baby I discovered at Ohio Ordnance because of this post arrived last week. Not everyone's cup-o-tea, I have always had a soft spot for the M10/M11 series (as must the composer and singer of Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner). It's an iconic piece of American firearms history and just plain wicked looking....and it can fit in a lunchbox.

Has anyone noticed the grip hanger. It's all wrong?

Surprised that OOW would let this slip by?

Is Bob still actively engaged in the business? Or has it passed to his son/son-in-law (I think)? I have dealt with OOW in the past always a good experience, but in the last six years I have not, for many reasons. Some personal, like my collection is shrinking as I age or in their case their focus appears to have changed and not much interests me there anymore. Nothing bad, but they appear to be going after the DoD-PD work more and less focused on the Collector market.
