  1. QUOTE (PhilOhio @ May 24 2006, 10:35 AM)QUOTE (Norm @ May 23 2006, 07:34 PM) For the price of one 39 round drum you can get 10 XXX mags. Hadn't thought of that. That's the best logical analysis of the whole thing. But remember, those things are going to be rare, and perhaps already are...just because of the pointlessness of them and their genesis. The reason to have one is to fill out a drum collection and tell the story. And that's a good reason to have one. Who cares if it works or how many it holds? And that's also the only reason I can think of for having one of the Kahr drums...introduce a little humor into your tale of the evolution of the TSMG drum. thought the 39 round drums where West Hurley's http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/unsure.gif
  2. every time I see one of these for sale they say rare what is so rare about them if anything
  3. What is the latest news on this subject? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/banghead.gif
  4. where all the receivers made of alloyed or where some made from steel? on the west hurley pistol models thanks
  5. LIONHART What are the rumors? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/banghead.gif
  6. LIONHART how about a little more information on that? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/unsure.gif
  7. what is a fair price to pay for a West Hurley Semi-Auto?
  8. what was the normal barrel length did these come with and does anyone have one or pictures of one?
  9. I have been doing some more research an open bolt is a bolt with a fix firing pin a closed bolt is a floating firing pin well the 1928A1 is a floating firing pin that makes it a closed bolt right? therefore if you do away with the selector switch like you do when you build a AK 47 would it not be a legal semi-auto?
  10. what do they mean when the bolt is refered to as a Blow Back or a Delayed Blow Back what is the differents?
  11. QUOTE (LIONHART @ Nov 20 2005, 05:47 PM) Welcome to the group. This topic has been brought up many times before, and usually the same answers given. I'm not aware of any other "Approved" ATF Designs for a Semi-Auto Thompson other than the one that Numrich had gotten approval for back in '75, and in which the current Company, Karh still utilizes. There is another source for Semi-Finished Thompson Submachine Gun Receivers through Phil Ordnance, and they claim these can be manufactured into a Semi-Auto, though to my knowledge, plans don't exist to do so. The question is, can one take one of these Receivers, or a Doug Richardson TSMG Receiver, and build a Semi-Auto Rifle for themselves? We do know that Federal Law allows an Individual to construct their own Semi. But what are the current guidelines for a Home built Gun, other than it meet's certain criteria? IE-16" Barrel, Semi-Auto only. I think this is where a lot of confusion comes from. IF your intent is building a firearm for the purposes of manufacturing them for Sale, you will need to submit a Prototype to the ATF for examination. However, an Individual constructing a Firearm for their own us, from what I understand, doesn't need to submit any Prototypes to ATF, and so long as it meets the above Guidelines (There may be more..If there is, and if someone out there has them, by all means post it here) one should be OK. Does this mean someone can acquire an 80% TSMG Receiver, construct it to utilize all FA Parts, and simply installing a Trigger Housing modified for Semi-Auto use? NO. As the Receiver is actually the Machine Gun, not the Frame. If however, there were some sort of Modifications made to the Receiver, whereas, it wouldn't accept an Original Bolt, unless Modified, perhaps then, it would be OK for a Home built Gun, and not for Resale/Manufacturing Purposes. However, would one still be able to construct an Open Bolt Semi? I don't have an answer to that, as I haven't been able to find any answers on the ATF's Website. Again, perhaps someone out here can provide additional information. I do believe that another Design for a Semi-Auto Thompson could be worked out, versus what's currently available. As far as a Home built Gun, I would write the ATF with what the Plans called for, and see what they have to say about it. LIONHART is more on the same page as my thinking but let me add some comments 1. I don't have a Full Auto I am not wanting to weld the old receiver back my thinking is on a 80% receiver and milling it to a semi-auto. 2. If the trigger group doesn't have the selector in it or can't be reinstalled wouldn't this make it a full time semi-auto sense it takes the selector switch to make full-auto 3. some say it is the open bolt but Powder Springs made semi-auto Mac 10's 4. some say it is because how easy it would be to put the full-auto parts back in the receiver well all the AK 47's being built all it would take is 5 minutes with a drill to covert it back to full-auto\ 5. yes this would be for my personal use not for sale I appreciate all the comments and would like to hear everbodys thoughts on this
  12. here is the questions I have I want to buy a parts kit to convert to semi-auto I know at one time during the 20s or 30's there was a semi-auto only version was this done through the trigger group or the receiver (if it was the receiver is there any machinist prints) if it was done throught the trigger group could you take out the selector switch and weld up the hole then modify the bolt assembly for semi-auto operation which model would be better for doing this the 1928A1 or the M1A1? is there someone out there doing this modification already I know it would be cheaper to buy a semi-auto but I just don't think it would be the same as I said I am very new to this any information would be appreciated I would just buy a real Submachine Gun but it is out of my budget does anyone have any thoughts on a semi-auto conversion thanks. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif
  13. I would like to trade a M92 yugo parts kit for a Thompson SMG parts kit http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/popcorn.gif
