ftc3906 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 My WH 1928 does not have a breech oiler. Is that missing part necessary for reliable functioning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1930sRust Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 They protect the gun during firing by preventing the firing of the gun. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invb...=2844&hl=breech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedgun1911 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 ftc3906: The original Thompsons were designed to use the felt pad breech oiler mainly to lubricate the Blish lock (or so I'm given to understand), as well as the bolt. If the originators built this feature into the gun's design, why would you want to change it? I must assume that a dry Blish lock and bolt is not a particularly good condition for gun longevity. My own 1928 came without a felt oiler. I immediately purchased and installed one. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/tongue.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beechnut Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 My 1928 WH doesn't have the oiler. For normal operation, I slide the trigger frame off and dribble a good bit of oil on the Blish lock ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
