Speeddemon02 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 The CLEO sign off might be due to state law and has no bearing from 41F, I do not know about you, but I do not thinking of swapping barrels like they were beltfeds. For me once it is in, it is in unless something catastrophic occurred. Lasers do not know if the barrel is round or not, but to each their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeTaylor95 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Thank you very much for the nicely detailed comment because it definitely cleared a few things up for me. I followed your advice and downloaded the pdf and typed all of my information in on it before printing. It looks much neater so thanks for letting me know about it. I don't mind the wait being longer than 2-3 weeks since I don't have all of the funds right now to do the full conversion (I bought a WW2 Remington Rand 1911a1 over Thanksgiving break and my bank account is still recouping from that).

brassmagnet Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 My apologies for misinformation on engraving. This is new to me as I have done about a dozen SBR's and always engraved the receiver as it was a permanent part of the firearm..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennesseeTaylor95 Posted December 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Very nice! I have been wondering if I should go for the 1928a1 style or not. My biggest problem so far is that I cannot find a complete, detachable stock for the life of me. I can piece one together except I cannot locate a butplate assembly for one. What would you guys recommend: just get the SBR tax stamp and change the barrel and leave the gun a bit wonky for now with the incorrect butt stock, or go all out and go for a 1928a1 look with a horizontal foregrip, USGI stock set with a detachable stock along with the milling done to the frame for an adapter plate, original cutts compensator, a 1/2" foregrip frame to fit a USGI stock set, and a lyman l sight?

TennesseeTaylor95 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I was on Sarco and I liked it, but I'd much rather buy a complete stock if possible before resorting to piecing one together, especially if I habe to go around and find a spring for this assembly that it says doesn't come with it. I have been keeping an eye out for complete stock, but I haven't been too sucessful so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldtrooper Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 What about the bolts that attach the latch assembly to the stock?To use a detachable stock your lower receiver would need to be altered to accept the stock ... I don't think the older west hurley guns had this feature ... You can buy a M28 stock that bolts on but is not detachable ... That is the option I used on my SBR ... This stock was made by Dan Block.

TennesseeTaylor95 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Good to know about the bolts. I plan on getting an adapter plate to allow the use of a detachable 1928 stock. I have already messaged deerslayer and he offers the service of milling the frame for the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpune Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Before you sink all that money into the gun, you should make a spread sheet and add it all up. You may end up cheaper selling the WH and buying a new kahr that already accepts the detachable stock. There's a ton of guys out there who didnt plan everything out and ended up with a $400 glock with $1400 worth of aftermarket stuff and work done to it.

TennesseeTaylor95 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Honestly, that is one thing that was kind of worrying me because I was starting to add up all of the parts, cost for services (rebarreling, milling frame, etc.) and the price was kind of shocking me for all of the bells and whistles. My main thing is that the WH frame is basically a M1 frame with a 1928 style safety. So, to make this Thompson as close to an accurate version of a 1928a1 thompson, I basically need to keep the receiver and semi auto parts and slap them on a modifyed 1928 parts kit for the semi auto parts. However, I am not going to do that due the incredibly high prices of parts kits these days. In the end, I will realistically just keep my WH thompson, get a form 1 for it, rebarrel it, and get a 1928 stock and just bolt it on to the frame as shown above. If I get lucky and come across a complete 1928 stock for around $100, then I will get the frame modifyed to fit it. No matter how much I spend on trying to make this look like a 1928a1, it will never be one so I should just get the gun shorter and a hair more correct amd call it good enough since I will never be able to afford a transferrable 1928a1 machine gun.

TennesseeTaylor95 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Just kidding, I'm glad someone has read my "about me" section and sadly, the mustang was just a project car so it didn't get me anywhere close to getting a transferrable MG.

Merry Ploughboy Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 When I wanted '28 furniture to replace the items on my '21 I found a complete set on eBay from a European seller. It took about three weeks to get shipped to me. The stock (non-cross bolt) and pistol grip are in fair condition and the horizontal foregrip (which I did not need) was like new and I sold it to offset some of the cost. It did take a few months of watching before parts came up for sale at a reasonable price. Best of luck with whatever you decide to pursue. MHO, YMMV, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeTaylor95 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Thank you very much for the link to the stock assembly that is for sale. I recently saw one that got away from me and ended at $155 on gunbroker ( later, cross bolt stock). I have been waiting around to see if a used stock or a set to come up. I imagine that the $100 used stock sets are long gone, but I am still keeping an eye out for a stock or complete set for a good buy. I will have to keep an eye out at knob creek this spring if nothing comes up by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
