Just have to say how impressed I have been with how helpful and professional everyone has been one line and in particular by the number very nice e-mails I have received.

Guess goes to show that all the realy nice members of the greater NFA community own Thomsons ... which I had always suspected.

Best Regards

P.S. Only Question is why did I not get a TSMG ten to thirty years ago ......

Better yet --- ten Thompsons thirty years ago!

[JTinIN]

Half dozen would have been fine (1921, 1928 and M1 each for myself and the son).

No one I knew 30 years ago had a Thomson, being in my late 20's everyone had MACs, bolt Uzi guns, Form 1 M16s and one odd Grease gun from a PD - the Thomson's were for the "older guys", with the thousand dollars for a Colt ...

While I now that will be sick, in 86 when a M60 was three grand, what did a nice 1921 or 1928 Colt go for back then?

[21 smoker]

JTinIN,...from old price sheets I have... M 60s,$2,000-$3,000 and about $3,000-$4,000 for a nice 21 or 28N...circa 1985...HTH,

Do you have an inventory list of what is racked up? ... cool photo in any case.

Chris,

Do you chat often with the owner of all those Tommies in the picture? Please let him (her?) know that I am interested in doing some trading.

I don't have many guns I'm willing to part with, but do have a spare kidney.

Oh, I don't know anything about them. I am sure someone does...Arthur? Murray?

I believe the 30 odd 21's do or did belong to Nick Tilotta of Western Firearms.

They have other Thompsons for sale now and again.

That is a pic of part of Nick Tilotta's collection. Nick owns Western firearms and probably has the largest privately owned collection in the US. He's a great guy to both talk with and deal with. He does have Thompsons for sale from time to time.
