TSMGguy Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 In episode 2 of season 1 of The Man In the High Castle, a pair of high ranking Nazis are ambushed in New York City by Thompson wielding members of the resistance. At 1:32 of the clip linked below, you can see the characteristic flat muzzle crown of the Phila. Ord. blank guns apparently used in the film. Right, Bob?

dantheman Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 I’m curious of the status of M1A1 production as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnshooter Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) In episode 2 of season 1 of The Man In the High Castle, a pair of high ranking Nazis are ambushed in New York City by Thompson wielding members of the resistance. At 1:32 of the clip linked below, you can see the characteristic flat muzzle crown of the Phila. Ord. blank guns apparently used in the film. Right, Bob? You've made me determined to watch this series.Some good attention to detail; they used actual fired brass. Often, the fired crimped blanks are all that's lying on the ground for the camera.(They did drop into a rather tidy pile).

Twice. Bob's M1A1 blank gun is one of the most enjoyable purchases I ever made. Marvelous quality. I thought the price to be more than reasonable. There are some very authentic looking repro WWII Thompson accessories on the market right now. Web M1917 and M3 slings, cases, mag bags, etc., are easily found and don't cost much.

dantheman Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 I just wish we had a clear idea of when these were going to ship. I know there was some back and forth with the ATF but is it production issues? Im a patient guy but at some point there has to be a definite understanding of when orders will be filled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reconbob Posted November 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 I am not aware that Phila Ordnance blank guns were used for this movie. They may have been, but I donot know. I am intrigued by the close up of the fired cases falling to the ground. They are clearly ball ammo cases.The Phila Ordnance blank gun uses star-crimp brass blanks and to my knowledge this is true of most Hollywoodguns as well, even original guns that are modified to shoot blanks. When blank guns are fired out of a Thompsonthey are ejected to the right and do not drop straight to the ground as in the video. It is possible that for theclose-ups ball brass (as opposed to crimp blank brass) was dropped to the ground by hand. We are making parts to assemble more guns. I have been trying to get other shops to help with the manufactureof parts, especially bolts and trigger frames. So far no one will touch the bolt (too difficult) and the prices for thetrigger frames are double or triple what we can make them for here. So yes, there is quite a backlog of orders.

Bob/Phila OrdThank you for the update, Bob. I’m sure the pandemic hasn’t helped either. Don’t take me the wrong way for inquiring, I was just hoping to find out what was going on. I know myself and others have been in the queue for quite some time now and some were starting to wonder what was happening. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you when my slot comes up.

anticus Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 In these times , patience is certainly a virtue. But based on my own experience with my ‘28 Philly Ord blank gun-definitely worth the wait ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
