FYI New .22 magazines for the Thompson Ceiner Kits are available by Merle Bitikofer (Merle in Oregon, Thompson Drum repair guy) He is converting the Black Dog Ceiner AR15/M16 copy magazines to fit the Thompson .22 kit.

I'm in for one.

The loader really works well. Yes, buy the Thompson loaders from Tom. He sends me mags to set the loaders so I will only sell the Thompson loaders thru him.

A customer ordered this one in and now has a cash issue. I'm thinking of purchasing it from him. Low 20's worn bluing finish, all Colt, stocks dinged up not a museum piece but I'm gonna shoot 'er with a OOW parts kit.

No, not selling the stock. I might end up with the rest of the gun :-)

QUOTE (gijive @ May 26 2005, 06:06 PM) The latch Arthur is referring to is the nickel colored protrusion that catches on the under side of the receiver/grip frame. The button depresses the latch to allow the stock to be removed. The button should be blue, the rectangular shaped protrusion should be nickel (unblued) in color. The serial numbers referred to are on the underside of the butt plate and on the rear top of the buttstock (underneath the butt plate) over the hole for the oil can. The number on the buttstock is hand stamped and should match the hand-stamped number on the inside of the butt plate. Your have to remove the two retaining screws to locate them. The butt plate should also have either a script or block letter "R" stamped next to the retaining pin for the trap door hinge. Again, this is on the underside of the butt plate. You say that the swivel is missing? Is there an area recessed on the bottom of the butt stock for the swivel, or was one never there? Ok, thanks (rookie here as if you haven't figured that out) The latch is Nickel plated, the numbers on the wood and buttplate are 47XX Has the "R". Swivel is missing, it did have one.

Do the numbers on the wood and buttplate match? Missing the swivel, buttplate and oil can "door" looks to be a very worn blued steel, and the oil can is nice and green (tarnish) Button for the locking "latch" is blued. (This what you mean by latch?) No serial numbers on the wood or buttplate.

Does this look like a authentic Anchor mark on the stock? Any counterfeiters out there? http://users.zoominternet.net/~picplace/thompsonnavymark.JPG www.m60joe.com
