I noticed a Keystone Mag offered on Gun Broker last night for a profit of course, I was wondering when they would show up, the seller stated from a unknown manufacturer.

12 December 1942, Owen sub-machine guns, invented and manufactured in Australia, being transported on a truck during n a procession through the streets of Sydney to show the immensity of the war effort in Australian munition factories — Photograph taken looking south along Elizabeth Street as the procession turns right into St James Road.

The mark that is legible is definitely a London House proof. The other was not applied correctly and will be a enigma far ever. Thanks again for input. Still have pictures to come, can only use the phone.

Near the end of the video in a different thread, with Brandon Hererra, at RIA showing off the .30-06 Tommy, he was bidding, stopped bidding at 80k, and it hammered at 85k.

interested in winter trigger and possibly feed tray, DM'ed you

Not the 3-piece type he's looking for and if it's from McKay 99% chance that it's a copy just like the Waffenmeister version only more expensive

These people claim they have NOS Savage ones, https://products.mckay-ent.com/mckay-parts/mckay-parts-5680/thompson-m1a1-forward-grip-mount-nos-4938615

The 30-06 price realized was $99,875 and the .30 Cal Carbine was $105,750. I do not know if the buyers premium is included in the price realized. Frank I., I was not the buyer or either Thompson.

It’s a cool museum. They have the wall there as well.

Lived in NAHA, 69 to 72. Was the when the island was turned over to Japanese rule. As a boy went into a lot of caves before they were sealed. Then moved to Midway.

Looking to Buy a Sten MKII Extractor & Spring & Pin Kit I am new to the Sten MKII and looking for parts.

Thank you, Tiz

I am looking to purchase a Swedish Kulspruta M/36 parts kit or semi auto build. This is the Swedish KSP Browning M1917A1 variant. Caliber does not matter: 8x63, 6.5, 7.62, etc. I would prefer with mount but not required. I am open to shipping, or will drive any distance for pickup if required. Please reach out via PM. Thank you.

I need a late type, square front, 3 piece grip mount. Condition can be good or better, does not have to be pristine. If you have one for sale please email me at Philaord@aol.com. Thanks Bob

Taliaferro - Great information. Chip - A very nice Colt NAVY! jedimonkey - If the mark is that small, a MACRO lens may be required. What is the location of this mark? How about a close-up picture with an arrow pointing to the location.

Here are the marks on my Colt Navy. TD wrote a chapter on these marks in his book. Thompson: Colt's, West Hurley's & More.

Thank you for the replies, have all 3 books, no luck and these marks are very small. Use 40x magnifer to make out, looking for some way to take picture.

Does anyone know who won the bid on the 30-06 and .30 carbine caliber Thompsons?

I had an MK760 that would not run well with the Soumi mags. So I sent it to PK along with some mags to modify. After checking it out he called me and suggested modifying the gun instead of the mags. That way it will work with all the Suomi mags you have without having to modify them. Problem solved. Got the gun back from PK and it ran perfectly
