A Trench Gun From Parts
colorado1919 replied to J.F. Bell's topic in U.S. Combat Shotguns Message Board
Only "fan" (slamfire) from the hip for better control. Not from the shoulder like the idiots on 'youtube' good way to hurt yourself. When you tell the a friend that a model 97 or 12 have no disconnect and they ask with a puzzled look"what does that mean?". You "fan" the magazine and the grin on yours and their face would cut off the top of your heads if it didn't stop at your ears. Remember "fanning" is only for up "close and personal". Doing it right is a whole lot of fun. Learn the right hold to fire from the hip for the best control. -

Can't tell about George Tobias' Thompson but the British Corporals looks to be a wooden prop gun. Lot of those in the movie, with Vickers guns mocked up to look like M1919s. Chopchop that is a nice statue of Saunders you did a really great job. -
Had a great Thankgiving hope everyone else did too

What I find interesting is the M1928A1 Thompson has a stamped rear sight and fifty round drum in October 1943. Oh the soldier is wearing a rifle cartridge belt. I don't know if this pic has been posted before if it has forgive me. -

Neat "special Purpose" Thompson

Those RPBs are really interesting looking guns for sure. Did not RPB make MAC10s at one time. Really makes you wonder what is inside one of these guns. -
