duck52 Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Well, I guess it's time to jump in! I've been learning a lot here over the last few months and just got my new TSMG today. It's my first NFA purchase so I figured I had to do it in style. 111 days from mailing in the forms, the dealer got them back. It's a WH from 1980 so I'm not sure how many GI parts it'll have when I open it up, but my parts kit should take care of that! Since it is a WH, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll run okay when I take out for a dance this weekend. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif Thanks for all the info. Here it is with a couple other 45s of mine! http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b76/duck52/45s.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland, Headless Thompson Gunner Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hey Duck, Welcome to the club, you're now a member of a very elite and exclusive group of outstanding individuals. Fine judges of women whiskey, horses and all things Thompson. Looks like a Victory 38. Is it S&W or Spcl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyGunner Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Duck, Nice Westy! Welcome to the board. That FBI case looks brand new...do you know where it came from...seems the correct size for the TSMG. I bet you can't wait huh? Wish I could own one where I live. Best, Damon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilroyjones Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Something must be wrong with me tonight. I just keep looking at the Smith, and not the tommy. All the guns look great. Is that a .45 N frame SW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duck52 Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hi, Thanks for the welcome! The S&W was a .45 1917 that I had customized a few years ago by Bowen Classic Arms in Tennessee. They shortened the barrel to 4" and did a trigger job. They did great work, the gun looks like it left the factory that way. Sweet old gun. The case came with the gun, and unfortunately I know nothing about it. It is sized for the 1928 and is not one of the longer ones on the Kahr page these days. duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavediver Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Congradulations I have a WH and love it. My WH runs great. I bought bit new in 1979 sold it to a friend in 87 and bought it back last year. Id love to have a Mint 21 Colt but would not want to shoot it as much as I like to shoot. Hope you enjoy it and welcome to the club. Charles Burrage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimFromFL Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Have plenty of ammo, these things tend to be a hungry child. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/cool.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Nice looking setup there. I've got a old Westy also and I would say replace the buffer pilot first. Mine broke after about 1000 rounds. Like the wood grips on that 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawksnest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Duck52: Welcome to the board. Very nice WH and S&W. Looks like "Thompsonitius" continues to infect people and spread. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duck52 Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Z3, not from Oregon. Originally from MN, but now in MS. Mike, thanks for the advice on the buffer pilot. I changed it out with the one from my parts kit. I'll take it out this weekend and give a report on how it shoots. Right now, it's got a 39 rounder with it. I've got two Kahr drums and, of course, they won't even fit onto the gun so I guess I'll be calling Kahr next week to exchange them. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/mad.gif Hopefully the Sportsman's Guide drums will start shipping eventually. Until then, i've got plenty of 20 and 30 rounders to keep me happy. I'll remember that about the pic size, thanks! duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
