Am I wrong, or would having his lighting business incorporated have saved his personal property??????????????

Congratulations go out to Arthur for making the 100,000th post on Machinegunboards.com this morning! David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com Thank you, Dave. Couldn't have done it without the previous 97,416 posts of fellow board members. Thanks to Laura Ingraham for celebrating this moment. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b56/Polythemus/LauraIngraham.jpg Your welcome Artie..........I am impressed with your knowledge of Thompsons

TD, it has a few thousand rounds thru it. I have used both the West Hurley actuator and yes the pilot is GI. I am blessed with a couple friends that are RKI's on Thompson's and was not long after I purchased it, The Russian kits arrived. So the West Hurley parts are semi-retired. Some day I will devote the time to get the .22 running. My grandson is 6 and is cutting his teeth on a Marlin .22 bolt action I purchased for him, and i would love it be running for his second full auto experience, his first will be the 1919A4....... They shoot semi-auto? LOL never tried it seriously . Bill

Did you purchase it new from Ira Trast's Numrich of West Hurley New York? Or was it massaged at some point by a previous owner who substituted G.I. parts for WH parts and, or, had a gunsmith who specializes in tuning them work on it? It would seem that the general consensus on this board is that a factory new out of the box WH is not reliable. Here is a WH owner stipulating to this assertion: If your WH is completely stock and runs with no hiccups, then the internal components of your WH would be of interest to other completely stock WH owners who could save money on upgrading their WH parts if doing so is merely superfluous. I can attest to the fact that it runs equally well with the Westie lower or a GI lower, guess I am a lucky guy because I believe that I am the third owner and when I brought it it was unfired. Now it's .22 twin brother is another story, but I believe that it is only a magazine problem. Bill

Just as are the WH & Kahr examples, except they require tweaking before they can be reliable shooters. hello Arthur, My Westie has never had a ftf nor any malfunction whatsoever, 20 or 30 round mags, 50 or 100 round drums. So please do not make these unfounded statements..................... Bill

That is a prime example of what my old High School teacher called " perfuming the pig".

That figures, perhaps I'll complain ti FaceBook?????????? Bill Reported but it may not do any good except to give me a warm and fuzzy feeling................

Can I get your dealers info, depending on condition, M-11's in the low 2k range sounds like a good investment. Bill BTW welcome to the board

Plus many of the "firearm" insurance companies provide comprehensive, all risk, coverage which covers most everything excluding felonious acts on the owners part. So if the gun blows up on the range it is covered. Most normal homeowner policies limit your guns on "theft" while affording coverage on other perils, mainly fire of course. I have a policy from Historic firearms, the rates are great and one of their underwriters is the Chubb. Get a rate quote from them also. http://www.historicfirearms.com/

A bard is born........................................... :welcome: And welcome to the board. The most wonderful people are here, just keep a sense of humor and skin thick.......

Wow how the some guy's on this board blow things out of proportion. There is no mention of them in cosmoline, The ad states "As these firearms are also being offered in a retail setting, auctions with no bids on them may be terminated at ANY TIME pending an in-store sale. So I would like to know where the "no inspection " came from. The seller has a A+ rating on gun broker. So what's with the Nigeria scam talk? He also has an M-16 and a BAR that are closet queens. All I can say is if you are interested in buying contact the seller. Per the pics all 4 of the new condition firearms are in great to pristine condition. So could you guy's lighten up? :soap: PS, I don't know the seller at all

Same thought I had. Jay Leno has one He uses to make obsolete parts. Real slick.

M-1 Carbine?

Just my .02 with years of welding experience, I don't know what the defect is caused by, but does not look like porosity in the weld to me. And if it was and I was trying to impress someone, that could be covered over easily prior to refinishing............

Well you know, ever since people who's names must not be spoken, left the board it has been kind of a rant free zone here... So we need one ever once in a while just to keep us on our toes.... Z=instigator :nutkick: LOL
