Now I see my mistake! Sorry I did not include the mention of LOWER in the post. Now if I could only figure out how to edit the actual post heading, hmmmmmmmmmm.

Where is the information on Buffer Technologies? Is this for FA or SA Thompsons? You can try this site they have poly buffers for the FA 1921 and 1928 Thompsons. http://www.srtarms.com/

Sorry you could not been of more help? Your kidding right?? You guys have been a ton of help. Thanks really. We all obviously noted clear differences between authors. The real question is are there spot welds and is it refinished possibly hiding any? At this point without the item directly in my hands I can not say for sure.

I have seen offered complete sets offered from $1,800 to $2,000. I have seen front grips from $375 t $425. I have not seen rear grips alone.

If there are tack welds this will be one interesting discussion by me with the seller.

I honestly believe looking at Hill's book that I am looking at what is referenced as a Worcester 2nd Generation. So the more I look at Hill's book the more confused I am. The drum font and spacing wise I am looking at looks to me is more like the Worcester 2nd Generation referenced on page 333 of Hill's book, fig. 366. Looking at the face plates I can NOT note tack welds on fig. 363 & 365 yet I can see tack weld on gijive's photo's and Hill's on the 3rd Generation Worcester fig. 367. Yet Hill's book mentions tack welds. Please someone tell me I am overanalyzing this or something. Unfortunately I do not have Doug's book.

Thanks Chuck Learned a bunch tonite. Michael

Yes That what makes this so wierd to me. The font spacing makes it seem as a Worcester. The tack weld makes it seem like a Colt. I am soooo confused! Michael

OK so the drum is either 3rd Generation Colt or Worcester, which is what I was wondering. If a blue rotor (it's nickel) then it would be Worcester and is a new piece of information to me not mentioned in Hill's book. My review of the font's specifically shown in Hill's book on page 331 makes me believe I am looking at a REAR plate from a Colt 3rd Generation. Looking at the FRONT plate and page 332 it seems from the fonts it is a Worcester. The fonts are specifically mentioned in Hill's book as being different from the Colt 3rd Gen to the Worcester. These are very subtle differences noted only when I look at where the letters alignment over the next row. Hill's book mentions tack welds for the Worcester I have no idea how to determine that with this picture any ideas? Thanks Michael

I am sure there are plenty of drum RKI's here. Could anyone help me confirm heritage of these plates? Thanks in advance. Back plate http://www.villagephotos.com/viewpubimage....selected=383732 Front plate http://www.villagephotos.com/viewpubimage....selected=383732

I looked at his site. For the $6 he mentions above it looks he is talking about 1928 buffers. The site indicates one is needed so I am guessing he bought one to use and one as a spare. The 1921 buffer is $22 and the site says it is a two piece set. I am curious how they work

Welcome from another recent member. I bet if you asked PK he might suggest items that you could produce. Hope to meet you at the TAC show. Congrats on the one in the oven.

Delvin How about this? Start a corporation in the nearest NFA friendly state of your choice. That could be your answer. I have not done this but maybe someone here can guide you. I know corporations can buy. I know you can arrange to store the weapon legally in a variety of ways OUT of the state of Washington, as I am doing this now. I live in Canada and my NFA collection has been in storage in bank safe deposit boxes, Class III dealers and in friends homes (in locked cases under my key control) and I have stored them in two different states. What I am not sure about but feel fairly comfortable that it can be worked out is how the Form 4 is filled out for address with a corporation. Is a physical address required (I think yes) and if so can you get a physical address? Would a resident agent address for the corporation qualify ( I dunno )? Resident agents are usually a requirement. I have heard others talk about dual residence, there you would need to qualify for residency in another NFA friendly state. This is another story. Michael
