On one side it is marked Auto-Ordance Corp
New York
Registered in the
U.S. Pantent Office
On the other side Magazine Type "L"
Thompson Submachine Gun
50 Cartridges Cal. 45
for 1928 Model wind to
9 or 11 clicks
Now, is this a West Hurley drum, and if so how do the current production Kahr
drums differ. Also, what would be considered a fair market price for a West Hurley drum.
Thanks

Sounds WH. Prices are from $350 up to $600. And most fair better then the K drums. Most that is. Many had feed and spring problems. I have several WH "L" drums. Most work good, but a couple just don't run very well. May have to take a visit to the old drum doctor. |
Don't know about that, I tried to get someone to buy this one for $250 but no one went for it... I felt sorry for the guy and paid him 200 bucks shipped.... Just used it Saturday and it's a runner.... Of course I now have seven drums to choose from... Gawd Help Me..

With the new Kahr C's at $599, that $900 may be a high price in a couple months.

Second, I hope they work better then the "L" mistake.

If it is real... show where you found it! I think it is speculation based on guesses, and so I want to start a rumor that they will be $200...

The figure came from deerslayer on this thread.

"Oh, I'll drop the tidbit here just to see who is reading that I just got the word (today) that Kahr will be marketing the the C drum in Feb for $599. Tooling is done and ready to go. Save your Christmas money for the purchase!"

I’m trying to make the Shot Show in Vegas, this February. I wonder is they will have any of those drums there at the show?

It would be nice at around $400, considering the price of the L at $200. But then again with the alleged R&D work it will prolly go higher.
Look at the early drums that still had problems and required a trip to Merle to get them working. I feel fortunate that my 20's patent L worked out of the box. Who knows some time in its history it may have been doctored as well.
