Paul in PA Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) 28 lower or M-1? Weird. How stable is it for shooting? Length of pull, came as a regular Thompson? Is it a AK folding stock? Does a mag fit into the mag well with the stock closed? Can you shoot it in that configuration. Edited April 3, 2021 by Paul in PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Looks like a federal ordnance stock for an m1 carbine that was modified for this gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DINK Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) I agree. The third strut, which automatically deploys the shoulder pad as you pivot the stock open, is a pretty unique feature of those stocks. If I recall correctly, there was originally a part of the shoulder piece that was on top (when the stock is in the deployed position) and was rounded to look like the bottom section. This has evidently been removed so the stock doesn't cover the magazine well when folded and it looks like a stick magazine can be used with the stock folded. Might be a little uncomfortable on the shooting hand with the stock folded, but I think it could be shot that way. There would be no access to the mag catch or other controls, but you could get away with "going gangsta" for one magazine anyway.

Milio Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Hello,I’m new to the board, hopefully I haven’t broken any protocols by this first post. I looked for new members info, didn’t see anything. Would anyone know if this lower will or can function (semi) on a AO 1927 A-1 West Hurley? I’m assuming that it will not, but I am curious.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmagee1917 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 I have never had a semi , only full , but I do know that people buy full auto lowers and put them on semis for both , looks and function . They use one of the levers for a bolt hold open while loading drums so they don't need the third hand gizmo . don't know what needs to be done to use it , but it can be done .Yes , this is a '28 lower .Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW2Collector39-45 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Looks like a M1 lower to me with that serial number location, and profile of the pistol grip area..... Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inertord Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Thats an M1 Series Lower, contoured for M1 pistol grip and no rail cuts for 1928 buttstock slide assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Mills Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) I agree on the M1 lower. Edited April 5, 2021 by Ron Mills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease Gunner Posted April 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) its a AO or Savage WW2 lower for a M1a1Its not cut for a 1928 stockBut you can slide it onto a 1928 as in my picture Edited April 5, 2021 by Grease Gunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milio Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 My thougts were to put it back orignial then mate it to an AOC West Hurley '27 semi-auto just because it would be cool to have a second lever and a third position.Anyone think it may fit?Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeport28A1 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) Internet Firearms Movie Data Base has 1928A1 Thompsons fitted with the wire portion of a M1A1 Carbine folding stock. M55 Reisings are also present. Edited April 5, 2021 by Bridgeport28A1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmagee1917 Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 You gents are correct . The '28 markings and drum cutouts on the upper threw me . Saw what I expected to see . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Dan Block do my Kahr 27a1 a few years ago it worked extremely well I used a 28a1 lower so that it looks more correct.

colt21a Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hey next will be AR-15 stocks on them. whatever the mind wants to throw on them now. Maybe those "Edge of Darkness" Thompson MP-40's Since when filmed they had no MP-40'S to mess with. they all had still been in German hands. they are in a few scenes in the classic.Including the town square shootout. in the cycle sidecar. and in the blockhouse shoot out.

Grease Gunner Posted April 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 More pics...If not sold- off to gunbroker Whats neat is that it probably will go into one of those shorter military cases for grease guns or Thompsons where you remove the buttstock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
