Yes, I got it.
The gun is in GREAT shape, I just wish it didn't have the slots cut for the drum. Oh well, the price was right considering what I have seen several sell for lately.

Great idea, I hadn't thought of that. He said that Dan Shea had two of them that were identical and the other one went to Denny Fouche in N Kansas City. I will call him also and see what he remembers.
Thanks,
Darin

I would find out it's history with Stembridge before having it reworked.
Now, you guys find me a Savage M1A1 for the same money!!

Nice job!
I think you can get another lower for around $200 in decent shape! Save the orig one, and shoot it with the new one!
Enjoy!
By the way - we want pictures.....

At any rate, I know that Darin will have lots of fun with it, so many congrats on snatching it up.

Thanks, this gun will be fun. Researching it may be the best part. ;-)

Hence the usefulness of JB Weld, a Dremel tool, and a black permanent marker. Good as new.
Actually, the first 50 or so M1's were cut for drums. It must be true. I read it somewhere on the Internet



If it works with a drum, great for the buyer. If it don't work, I'm sure it can be restored by some of the better smiths out there.

Super finish.
Nicest looking wood I've ever seen on an M1/M1A1.
Remember, you never really own a Thompson. You just keep it for the next generation. (With apologies to the Patek Phillipe folks).
