Orion Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I picked up a M1A1 bolt and these receiver parts were included, I hate to see the Thompson end up like these two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Later guns with secret serial number. Interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adg105200 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 What a crying shame. The one appears to be British. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gijive Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Later guns with secret serial number. InterestingJim, The Savage and Auto-Ordnance 1928 Model guns all had the hidden number applied, similar to the Colt made guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpanda4 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Chuck, I did see a later AO receiver front chunk (IIRC) that had no number. I think they stopped it late in production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijive Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Interesting, all the WWII front receiver pieces I have seen all have numbers. No S on the Savage pieces, AO prefaced number on the AO guns. Sure is wasn't an M1 receiver piece you saw? Edited March 21, 2017 by gijive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpanda4 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I cannot find the pics now. I did post them years ago here, I will search for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpanda4 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 OK - as usual my memory is not what it was. I found the pic (very out of focus) that I was thinking about. It shows 15043, under the grip mount (and there is no serial number). The other chunk shown does have the serial number. GIJIVE, you are right as always!

gijive Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 GIJIVE, you are right as always! Mike, Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not always right. I've made my share of Thompson misstatements, based on assumptions, over the years. We can always learn something, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpanda4 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Maybe this old Panda's memory is starting to fail more often. They say memory is the second thing to fail... IIRC... Actually I think I was confused with the practice of marking the frames... that was discontinued as the war progressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
