Its done and had a few rounds run through it now. I went for the 1921A look, I like the clean lines of no compensator. Decided to avoid the exact copy of colt thompson markings, but kept the tone the same while fulfilling the required information. The serial number suggestions were great, but in the end, I went with TS004. TS for thompsonstocks (my website address and business name) and 004 for the 4th gun I've now done.
Rust blued the receiver (that's a job and a half). So there is about 3 finish types on the metal, will have to even it out sometime this winter.
Lets see, it really is a mutt, but here's its pedegree. Savage internals, phili receiver, smooth savage actuator (have to get a 21 actuator sometime), Savage barrel, Savage bolt, West Hurley rear sight (that will be the first thing to be replaced when I find a lyman), wood of course by me, oh and a numrich lower of unknown origin (bought that several years ago).
Crosby L drum group at 50 yards (all one burst), greatest spread 23 inches between shots and slightly off to the left of my aim point (the wind was blowing real strong).
I had my little snip of a niece shooting it today along with a couple other women. I think they almost had more fun than I did. She shot it pretty well to for a girl that might weigh 120 pounds. Should have had her pose for Mike's calender.
Anybody wanting to venture to North Iowa is welcome to come play!
Oh, and lastly, couldn't have got it going this fast without Bills help, thanks very much!
