I messed up. I took it apart a while back. I found the rear section, but have lost the front section of the firing pin. I guess I'll just order one of each, since I found them on TommyGunner for $20.

Also, my rear sight is rivited on, but the rivets are lose. Is there any problem w/ drilling those out, tapping the holes & putting screws in that don't protrude below the holes?

tighten up the rivets, expand them more

Update: My Thompson has been sitting in the corner of the safe for a very long time. Yesterday a friend calls & says he's found something that I may want. He was helping someone clean up & found an M1 bolt & firing pin. They guy didn't know what it was. The bolt is broken, but I didn't need an M1 bolt anyway. I bought the firing pin & put it in last night. It felt so good to run a couple hundred rounds through it today.
