v188 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 It looks like I've finally bought my Thompson. I got a pretty good price ($10K/ who knows?) on a Savage M1A1 reweld. It was welded by a guy in PA pre-86, don't recall his name right now. So it's not a Pearl. Looks pretty nice in the detailed photos. Any thoughts on my purchase? Did I over purchase, about right? Now I need to find some more mags. I've got several NFA weapons, but this purchase really is getting me psyched!!!! I've wanted a Tommy a long time. Thanks guys, A new guy to the board.

John Barone J&D SPORTS FFL/SOT 610 589-9884 If you picked it up for 10K, that would be a tad high to my way of thinking for a cut gun thats not C&R. Dont worry, it will soon be worth 30K (10 years or so) Take care John Jr Edited to add this: Mags http://www.whatacountry.com/ (search for Thompson) http://www.sarcoinc.com/tho.html http://www.ohioordnanceworks.com/parts/mags.htm http://www.northridgeinc.com/sp_mags.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Other then the reweld deal, I would like to see how someone customized the receiver on an M1A1 for a 1928 buttstock. Could this be a WH type kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Sergeant Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Arthur, I had contact with the seller (John) who advised the re-weld receiver was attached to a "Savage" lower. He no doubt was refering to a 1928A1 lower. He did indicate it was a good shooter and that the upper and lower "were pretty tight." I had always thought the two would slide together and function but the fit would be loose. He advises that is not the case with this set-up. V188, sounds like you got a good shooter !! Enjoy !
