Broadarrowmaint Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 First, thank you guys for the add!Just purchased a m1927a1 Auto Ordnance SA and I am very pleased with it! Here is my question. I am curious about blank adapting my gun for ww2 reenacting and using one of those 10.5 " phila ordnance blank only barrels. Does anyone have any experience with them?I would like to configure my gun to resemble a late M1928 with the smooth barrel and cuts comp and simple lyman peep sight like you would see on some examples of a late war m1928. If I were to get ahold of a smooth barrel from phila ordnance that does not have external threading on the muzzle, could I attach a cuts compensator to it? I'm not familiar with how to install the compensator, but I know it would have to be machined to accept the pin for the compensator, but would I have to machine threading the muzzle? Any help would be greatly appreciated! And I appoligize if this has already been addressed before.Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtrooper Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 It would be a lot simpler to just use a ring sight instead of a Cutts IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adg105200 Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 No experience with blank barrels, but it isn't hard to buy a die and thread the barrel. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadarrowmaint Posted September 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 10 1/2 blank only ATF approved barrel from Philadelphia ordnance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter kohler Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 10/12 inch blank fire only barrel sold by Philadelphia ordnance , approved by the atf. I did the removable stock , with help from my local machine shop. nothing illegal about any of it. dan also did the mag catch modification so I can use the original mags. I also have an m1a1 set up the same way so both my Thompson have the quick change barrels if I want to live shoot. I opted for the blank fire barrel as opposed to an sbr. I have 4 sbr sub guns, one of which we did paper work to sell about 9 months ago.. its still pending. the blank only barrel seemed to be the easiest way to go.
