Bridgeport28A1 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Looks like a paperweight with a AOC front sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimB Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Well some points here I'm the source, I am able to speak a bit better than others on this as Huggy mentioned, it don't match his TSMg bbl on the mid sectionstill he feels it's gotta be Thompson.I'm cool with all that, mailed it out no money down on approval. Now it gets funGordon Ingram did his best to reduce manufacturing coststhat included repurposing TSMg barrels as production blanksyeah you never know what to expect on M6 guns let's think about this somevery few M6'smaybe it was done to repair a demil huh ? thing is the root of this barrel assm was a County PD in the late 80s, I gave the kit to a relative who passed maybe 6 years agoit's not idiot "bubba" work and Huggy never stated that. I mean really, is that midsection M6 or TSMga marking on the front site is mostly meaningless Huggy, just mail it all back with zero hard feelings here.

Petroleum 1 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Does the mounting plate on the barrel match up to your M6 ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 it does....someone made a thompson barrel work on a M6....its interesting how they did it.....i thought i might have some odd thompson variant barrel, but the quality of the middle resting bar part that was added was not up to the quality it would have been it were AOC at a glance the 2 barrels are very similar and im sure someone with a dewat or bulged barrel had a great time with the thompson barrek on his m6. i doubt most would even notice w/o a comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
