Both Damon at Tommygunner and PK do this wonderful deed.
I highly recomend it!

They would look even shorter if a ring site were used.
The stock came out shiny as the wood is WWII and very hard. The finish is only stain and linseed oil.
The photo is with a 10.5" bbl.

Its a shame that NY has such asinine laws. From the posts I've been receiving from the NRA/ILA its about to get worse.

The last post from the NRA/ILA indicated that they plan on adding more guns to the assult rifle list. Lets hope it dosen't include the 27A1, like so many of the other lists have done. Also that they will allow pre owned semis to be grandfathered. It seems that there are a few states that do want to add the 27 to their list and make yearly registration and a fee, part of the law. PA attempted to write such a law but for now it was defeated.

Yep, all is grandfathered at the moment, the key being "at the moment".
Welcome to the club that a few of us like Damon and Walter living in "New York no-gunland" belong to.
Keep in touch with what these nut's here in NY are up to, they don't give us a minutes
rest attempting to outlaw anything that could be used as an assault weapon, including
pencils that may be shorter then 3 inches and highly sharpened!

I'm sure the Thompson semi's will be added to any new list. they seem to be on every other one. Just the pistol grip and detachable mag are a death warrent.
Write your local reps and keep writing.

P.S.
Grew Crow, I don't think that you can shorten a barrel with a ring sight, being that it is allready 16 inches. The thing that works with welding the Cutts Comp. to a 2 inch shortened barrel is that you are going from 18" ( original 16" barrel with the 2" comp. screwed or glued on) to 16" overall by cuttting 2" off the barrel and permanently making the Comp. part of it.
Beautiful funiture on your gun!

Your right about the movement of the comp., the 21/M1 style ring site would do nothing to shorten the appearance of a 16" bbl.
Does NY have any provision that would allow one to make a SBR if OK'd by the ATF? Seeing that at the time of this writing the Thompson isn't on the assault rifle list.
I guess the trick would be getting a LEO to sign off on the project first.
It to bad they can't make a national gun law where its all legal. << Nice dream!
Thanks for the comments on my hardware. I need to take some new photos with the non-crossbolt stock on it. Right now its just in a display case with a bunch of other Thompson parts.

NO SBR availabilty in NY State.
Nada, nothing. No provisions for anything NFA at all, (Only Class II manufacturers, guess the state can make a buck or two on those folks!)
We are surrounded by 3 states that have full class III ( if i remember correctly), and here we sit, with some of the craziest gun laws on the books!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
My thoughts completely with a Fed. Law. One bloody law to cover everything.
Problem is it may damm well be the wrong law

Best,
