I got it several months ago to use as a shooter...and it was an odd thing with a M1 trigger frame and a plain barrel and comp and non functional locking system. I swapped out the wrong parts an sent it to PK for his magic.
He relocated the locking slots,rebarreled it with a finned barrel and cmpensator; installed a lyman adjustable sight, fixed the sloppy fit of the trigger frame, and did a bunch of other stuff to bring it into pretty close to mil spec. He topped it off with a great matte black oxide finish.
Looks great, shoots great....thanks PK

I got hooked up with PK through this board so thanks to all of you for the great recommendations of him.
Group Industies TSMGs are not very plentiful and I am happy to add this one to my '21a Colt as I keep working on my thompson collection.
If anyone needs another PIC from a different angle or anything like that, let me know.

Great pictures!
I don't know much about Group Industries. I think they went bankrupt years ago.
I know they also made M-16-A1 stainless steel lowers.

I am jealous.

This is the first Group Ind. Thompson I have seen, but it looks like a good one to me!

I don't know anything about Group Industires, but I cannot help but note the Louisville, Ky, zipcode. That is just a few miles from where I grew up (tear). What's the story there?
