Sandman1957 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Just picked up a New COLT 1921AC Thompson a week ago. The previous owner was a very active NFA collector and former dealer. He was originally out of Winconsin. He picked this one up in 1974. Was first owned by the Kohler PD in Wisconsin. Came with a very nice NY NY Drum, Rusco Pouch, and Patent Date Mags. The gun was in the time out box for about six months. Somehow it did get stamped incorrectly, the handwritten date on the stamp itself was correct, April 2018, but the rubber hand stamp at the bottom was May 2018. According to that, its still in the future! Will post more photos later, but here's a few to enjoy. Thanks Joe, great gun. CheersSandman1957 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSU Tiger Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Nice score! It looks like it's had very little use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman1957 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Approx six months, yes I am selling off some of my guns, but I helped someone find a nice Thompson and the seller had two for sale... I actually got the one that had the most wear on it. Yes this COLT is in the best conditiion of any I have owned. It sort of fell into my lap. I am very grateful that I was able to get it. I am getting ready to be off the net for a day or two, but will try and get more posted. I am going to research the history if possible. Yes it looks like it saw very little use. Some light scratches on the side, a blemish around the Full auto selector switch, and some missing bluing in the area around the 2d SN where the stock slides on. Needless to say I am delighted with this gun. It was also great to meet the owner who had it since the early 70's. When the Form 4 came back, I set a date to meet them and drove up and picked it up in PA. Great day trip! Oh, and no extraneous markings on it!
