I haven't seen it but the local gun store is advertising the following on their web site:
Pearl Thompson M1A
Rare variation of the M1. Accepts drum magazines, mint, parkerized finish and fired very little. Included are 6 magazines and a 50rd. drum.
Price: $13,500
I don't want to buy it but I would be interested in any comments here.
Thanks.

Hey Hardrede
A Pearl is not a C&R yet....
You should have said wait till 2036 and all transferable machineguns will be C&R
We need to keep a positive attitude!

Just curious, did Mr. Pearl weld demilled receivers back together or did he machine a new reciever for the guns he built?
