@johnsonlmg41 Yup. I just did a Google image search and "Condor34" has used @maxfaxdude pictures in at least one GunsInternational auction where he sold a loader and loader board. The same search also brought me here (but I recall reading this thread a couple years ago). Scammers and thieves are the worst of humanity. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/parts---ammo---accessories/collectibles---wwii/mg34-double-drum-loader.cfm?gun_id=102589929

Ahhh but it is not photoshop! One was chambered in the normal 6.5x55 and the other in 7.62x51. The Swedes were so fond of the M45 that they adapted it to further prototypes of the Ag/42B.

What in the photoshop hell is that thing?! The “Swedish WTF” ROFLMAO

You have to read to see what's in it. At least it's in writing and we can see it...unlike some other bills passed in the past. Everything remains the same except the tax rate will be 0, thus you still have to go through the process. This is the section copied and pasted. HTH SEC. 112030. REDUCTION OF EXCISE TAX ON FIREARMS SILENCERS. (a) In General.--Section 5811(a) is amended to read as follows: ``(a) Rate.--There shall be levied, collected, and paid on firearms transferred a tax at the rate of-- ``(1) $5 for each firearm transferred in the case of a weapon classified as any other weapon under section 5845(e), ``(2) $0 for each firearm transferred in the case of a silencer (as defined in section 5845(a)(7)), and ``(3) $200 for any other firearm transferred.''. (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by this section shall apply to transfers after the date of the enactment of this Act. There is also a repeal of the tax on tanning booths......wonder how that got in there? LOL

Thank you for the photos. I have a fascination With the Lewis Gun. I have had opportunites to purchase but right or wrong, I have not done so because of the lack of parts for the Navy Model. All of my select fire guns are shooters and I didn't know enough about the Lweis to feel comfortable buying a gun I might "break." Maybe,... one of these days.

Doing some research on Colt Thompson’s shipped to Abercrombie & Fitch. If anyone can offer information on any of the following guns, it would be appreciated. Thanks. 2126, 2130, 2146, 2441, 6567, 8266

He does and I can speak for him in that he’d love to “re-do” the gun to Mac-daddy standards. He’s done several for forum members and all are super.

Perfect logic! Love it.

You know i can understand why people would sell, after all, if the gubmunt were to confiscate your Thompson you would get nothing, zero, zippo, nadda. But if you sell to them you get a whole 200$ to go out and blow on the ladies and possibly get laid. Just thinking outside the smelly box. Sarcasm

No. Just on the flat part. Did that to make a post sample work a little better when it got milled too deep

You'd have to widen the slots in the knob base to match

Can we consider this a variant? 😂🤣😂🤣

I havent done it, but a little welding on the top of a waffenmeister actuator might be just the thing.

You and Fiona Apple:

Guess that will make me a criminal!

I’d looked into that same thing a few years ago and ran into the same conclusion-not enough ROI.

No, its also in the Swedish Museum. I have considered designing one but I was worried that there are not enough guns to make it financially viable to make.

The Moor, Having two threads on the same subject is always confusing. Shown below are a few of the pictures you posted in the earlier thread regarding your unmarked 5-cell magazine pouch. One thing interesting to me is the manufacturer mark on the underside of the LIFT THE DOT snaps. The question: Is it a MILLS or RUSCO pouch? Attached are a few pictures for readers: I have never really studied the canvas items but like most enthusiasts, I know MILLS and Russell Manufacturing Company (RUSCO) manufactured canvas items for Auto-Ordnance Corporation during the Colt era. I have a few canvas items, but my collection is very limited. Tracie Hil has the best canvas collection I have seen. I am sure most of it is pictured in the new Thompson Encyclopedia series. On ebay yesterday I saw a very used RUSCO canvas carrying case with several features that I had not seen previously. It is very common for RUSCO cases to use the CARR marked snaps for the cleaning rod holder. However, I have never seen a marked CARR FAST. CO. lift the dot type snap on a RUSCO canvas carrying case. Also, the small inside snap for the cleaning rod is also marked. This is the link to the ebay auction: Rare Thompson Tommy Gun Rusco Canvas Gun Carry Case 1928 1921 | eBay Attached are a few pictures from this RUSCO canvas carrying case on ebay: I find this another data point regarding the history or possible maker for The Moor's one of a kind unmarked 5-cell magazine pouch. It would be interesting if all forum members who have RUSCO canvas carrying cases would check their cases for the above markings. Again, I believe this RUSCO canvas carrying case on ebay to be an early RUSCO case given the markings on the snaps. The wear certainly indicates it has been around!

deerslayer, If someone were to manufacture an oversize actuator, would it be fairly easy for someone like you, or PK., or reconbob, or Got Uzi to fit the oversize actuator to the West Hurley receiver to achieve the proper clearance?

Hiding serial numbers for above reasons, and they aren't my guns. Yes, i agree now they are west hurley guns. The hive mind helps you think of all things. The back half of the receiver has the typical "M1" marking. The front doesnt have the semi auto step so these were never converted from a 1927.

I don't know about you guys, but if the price is $200 per gun (seems fair) then for 10 they would want a "bulk discount", say $50 per gun, net: $150 / gun. I'm gonna sell him my whole stock... what a profit!

No kidding. In addition to Andrey, Richard (BWE) was the source of many of my spare 76 parts.

$24k isn’t going to be found on the open market (Sturm) and the auction prices you have to add 17.5% to 23% to the hammer price which puts it at the $28k-$30k range I mentioned. That being said, look at the price of originals and tube guns seem “cheap” by comparison…

I have thought about having a few made from images found online

According to their sales brochure, the Paracadutisti barrel is 18.41 inches and the Alpini is 19.32 inches. JMA uses 19.375 inches for both models. I haven't heard that it uses a different trigger assembly. The only differences I've heard about is that some have the winter trigger and some don't.
