I'm also somewhat puzzeled by a cross-bolt stock on a '28 with ladder type Lyman sight. Again, correct me if I'm misunderstanding, but I believe the cross-bolt stock came along after the ladder type Lyman sight was discontinued in favor of the "L" type sight.

MP....a parts gun is a parts gun is a parts gun...your understandings are correct.

28 marked NAC after the serial number. Its marked "tommy gun" on the top rear. The Bbl is a bastard with a comp that has a set screw in the botton. This gun has no english marking of any kind and I don't think it has ever been out of the country. This gun is a true parts gun.
I have read that not all NAC gun ever left the US. It appears NAC put together guns from parts left over before making the WH guns.
Response?

My own gun, S-332xxxNAC, is a beautiful M1928A1 with a "bright" bolt, milled swivels, flat, plain pivot and safety, plain actuator, adjustable Lyman rear sight, and no-crossbolt stock. It has almost all of its original dulite finish, and the NAC suffix is stamped through the original bluing. All original factory index and punch marks are present, and the original factory targeting is undisturbed. The serials match, top and bottom, and are identical in style.
I don't believe that the gun is worth less just because of the NAC stamp. Someone is going to buy that "unused" NAC '28A1 and they'll probably be more than happy with it, but they should inspect it closely. I did see another NAC '28A1 recently that I believe was a parts gun. It had pin-style pivot and safety, a cross-bolt stock, stamped swivels, and the serials mismatched. The bluing was very even, with the same color and sheen on all parts,unlike the originals. The rear sight ladder had been blued, rather than left bright.

Not to beat a dead horse,AF...but I just saw a 3 digit Colt and drum sell in that range 2 months ago...it would have been mine if I didn`t have three pending NFA in the works...there are still some reasonable deals out there,if ya keep looking... |
What exactly is "in that range?" Is $25K in that range? What is a "reasonable deal?" Is $21K now a reasonable figure? When did that figure hit "reasonability?" Is $30K-$35K "unreasonable" now, (even though they are bringing that coin today) but will be considered reasonable at some undefined point in the future? Of course there will be a "deal" on a Colt TSMG out of the scant 10 or 12 that appear for sale on a yearly basis. But while a buyer is biding their time for that needle in a hay stack, the market has moved beyond what they would have paid at that moment.
Why would the seller only want $21K for a 90+% Colt TSMG and Colt drum? I mean 1928 WWII TSMG's are getting that now. If you passed on that deal, why not advise some others in here as to this deal two months ago?
