Hardrede, I don't see why newly manufactured Tommies would have to be Franken-Tommies. I think, as Arthur once said (wrote), it is a proven design. All that would be required, once the laws are repealed, would be a company willing to produce a quality product. Those upset by such a development should invest in the stock market, not in Tommies!!!

Regards, Walter
P.S. Yes, I realize that Colts and WWII production Thompsons would always command a superior price, as they should.
