  1. I'm glad you got some resolution, in my experience dealing with lost, damaged shipments, you must be persistent. They never pay on the first attempt hoping you will give up. I wonder WHAT happened to the parts kit? Pretty big box to go missing. The missing signature is a mystery. Once I had a registered mail shipment that was lost, the PO found it locked in their cage, apparently they forgot about it.
  2. You have to use PDF Pro The free version won't work, it does as described, it only fills out the first page, the others will be blank.
  3. I'm kind of a purist, as are most Thompson guys and gals. I would not put an aftermarket barrel on an original WWII gun, a West Hurley or a post sample probably.
  4. Back in the 1990s the Pacific International Inc in California was selling original Thompson barrels NEW in the grease for $22.00 each. They were advertised as 1928 finned barrels, but some were M1 and some smooth 1928 barrels, me and a friend bought a lot of them. I can remember being disappointed (at $22.00) when I unwrapped a few and they were M1 barrels! I spoke with a salesman (in those days you had to call, and talk, on the telephone to order parts) He told me that they found the barrels stored in the Philippines. Those barrels are all long gone now, sold most with parts kits when barrels were banned from import.
  5. That sounds pretty low for a NOS barrel, mine is at that now after 3 days. On GB it seems to be all in the timing. I got some tips from a High-volume GB dealer... start at .01 or a dollar to generate interest and bids, start and end on a Sunday at 9:00 - 10:00 PM when most people are home, and end at an even time e.g. 10:00 not 10:07 etc. If you look at past auctions that started out high, they usually generate zero bids. If you get lucky you will get two bidders in a mano-a-mano contest and you will win. (I know I have been in such contests) On low-interest parts valued at less than $100.00, do a buy it now or you will likely give the parts away, and you can advertise them elsewhere and end the listing if you sell it.
  6. Good luck Bob, Collecting insurance from any carrier is very difficult. It may show up yet, did it track to the PO?
  7. Bidders needed! It is at $154 Yeh its mine last of my stash https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1036699458

  12. I have a pre-May UZI that has no restriction stamps on the form. It had none on the previous form as well. It came from a dealer who thought it was transferable because the form was not stamped, he sold it to a non-SOT customer, and ATF denied the transfe
  13. Gas relief hole. .Gas relief holes were added to later M1 carbine bolts as well.
  14. I have nothing scientific to base my opinion on, but I would not shoot anything other than 150-grain factory ammo out of an (almost) 80-year old gun. Just my personal .02
