Informational Thompson YouTube Videos


Recommended Posts

I’m making sure to spread around good informative videos for new members and those who learn visually like me. I have found these invaluable in disassembly and reassembly and general learning.

What a huge help. Have you run across a good one for the Thompson M1/M1A1? Thanks, Andrew

Andrew,

I found an M-1 video where a guy takes a Thompson apart trying to troubleshoot an issue and does a pretty good job compared to most videos I’ve seen

 

here’s the forgotten weapons link to his video on the M1A1

 

heres a random quick field stripping video as well

 

the M1 model videos definitely aren’t as plentiful as the 28 model videos but I hope that helps a bit.

These are great. Really appreciate it since more sparse as you mentioned.
