TennesseeTimmy Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Check the bottom pinned post "Thompson FAQs" immediately above the latest post in the list. There are some names about 1/3 the way down the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 There is only one person I would recommend for drum work. Merle is the man. Merle F.

Sandman1957 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 If the spring is broken another option is to buy one of the aftermarket drum mags from keepshooting.com and replace the entire inner portion. May be less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUTTERRATT Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Merle just called me the other day, He is home and doing good so you might check with him and see what he says. Edited September 30, 2015 by GUTTERRATT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weasel Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Sent Merle an email and have not heard anything back. He may be busy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DINK Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I spoke with Merle for a while yesterday and he is healing, but slowly. He is now at the point where he doesn't have to wear the brace and can do routine activities by himself, but the doc still doesn't want him out in his shop working on drums. He's bored to tears, so if you have to time to give him a call, please do. He has my Kahr "C" drum and it will get back to me when it gets back to me. I'm just glad he's getting better.
