Exactly what ol’ gurl needed! I ran into the same issue with clearance. A little file work and all good! Thanks brotha! Looks great!

In my collection, I have a copy of American Thunder 3, and often refer to it. It is an excellent reference source for the WW2 Thompson's. Direct from Frank...

Let me add this have done the Thompson thing for well over 50 years. might be a few left in country longer. but i highly doubt...that is one nice gun, in finish and metal looks great. Wood can always be replaced. or redone. but it has the look of use. which is what some strife for....unless you have a new in crate one this is the one. i would be sending a check today for 10 like that heck maybe 20 of them.. you hit the gold with that place. and remember with Thompsons do homework always, but also go on what you know also the guy feeling. i bought so many Thompsons of some that looked before and passed on them and the rest i bought as first offering so nobody else would get chance to get it. sec company, police depts and some private sale. many a collector started in the 90's and later.I had a 20 year jump. considering i went and saw Earl in 1971,and many many more who are now gone, who i considered friends and not just for Thompsons.I DON'T GET INTO THE MINUTE DETAILS OF A SCREW OR PIN. OR IS THE COMP TOUCHED UP BLUE. AND WHO FINGER PRINTED THE BUTTSTOCK LATCH. AFTER AWHILE no need for that...when you have seen hundreds and hundreds you know what to look for. it was always fun in decades past all the so called experts. would give me a call on this or that. as nobody knows it all we still learn daily but all the so called experts did bizz with me and we bought from one another for years. and some for decades. you came to the right place for info. And you found a decent one be proud. i hope you got lucky and secured it. and have a good 2025. Ron K.

If you look closely at WWII photos or training videos you will most likely see a "bright" bolt in a Thompson.
