Chromebolt replied to Lawman9328's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
A well prepared Trust should allow additional Trustees to be added -
USPS registered mail - WARNING!
Chromebolt replied to reconbob's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
Many years ago when the demilled kits were relatively cheap ($400), I ordered one for a customer. Post office said it was delivered to my house (I live way off the main Rd). No box was found anywhere near my house. After some phone calls, to the Post office, I found a couple small parts in the grass before the woods. i had 3 Great Danes who roamed 10 acres with an invisible fence. I found some packaging, but no more. Over the next couple of years, I found the well chewed buttstock and later the squirrel enhanced forearm. Apparently, the new driver was afraid of the dogs and just dumped the package. Dogs thought it was a toy. I was out $400 -
Where to buy demilled uppers
Chromebolt replied to Fadedkrill's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
Wouldn't welding a cut receiver together be considered manufacturing and possessing an unlicensed MG? -

WTB SCAM - Ultimate Fishing Technique
Chromebolt replied to Steelflood's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
I too have worked many fraud cases from a local Law Enforcement perspective. The above is a good way to flush them out. Once the money goes out of state, prosecutions are almost impossible to pursue. -
I received both of your emails. Communication is important (both ways) in transactions. Those have indicated an interest need to follow up. My tool is in the mail. I have no idea if it works or not, but the drive to support Thompson operations is a good thing. Thank you for your efforts.

Put me down for one. I have several stick mags with bent lips that have been waiting for repair

I received the bolt today. It was wrapped in paper and cosomoline with no rust. It was blued. I don't even own a 1928 but have many parts and part kits from decades ago when things were cheap. One day, I'l trade my PK'd WH M1 for history and have enough parts for the weapon for a decade. My descendants will be happy.

I bought on too and a few other parts. We'll see how what the quality is.

I love looking at those old PD Thompson's. Thanks for sharing -
Ok, what's the update? You have one post to call out a vendor.

I've had dealings with them in the past. He was slow to respond but I received my merchandise. Anybody else had issue with him?

You know how I'm always praising the M1A1 ?
Chromebolt replied to buzz's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
Notice at 37,500 the reserve was not met? -
My department acquired a Reising from the govt mid/late 1950's. I had to do the research about 6 years ago because there was no documentation for this gun. We eventually got it on a Form 10 (originally ATF refused to provide any assistance in documenting this MG) and it's just locked away in the arsenal.

Thoughts on this Horizontal Foregrip
Chromebolt replied to Devious6's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
I may have one I took off my old Kahr. PM me if you would like to trade. I would have to go through a lot of parts boxes to find it. -

Interesting. I wonder if it there were different shop specs at Savage and Colt. -

Whats the going rate for M1a1 parts kit
Chromebolt replied to robbo's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
I'm glad I bought 2 of the 1928 "Russian" parts kits several years ago. With barrels, I believe I paid under $400/ea. -
West Hurley Thompson Ownership Survey
Chromebolt replied to timkel's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
I voted no. When I bought my Thompson (M1 WH), it had already been to PK. The previous owner told me it ran ok, but he had heard too many stories and had PK work on it. I have the receipt in case I ever want to resell it. It's a great shooter now, it may have been an ok shooter then. -
What Are These Drums?
Chromebolt replied to huggytree's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
I'm no mag expert. But they are wrapped in bubble wrap and if new, old stock they can't be that old.
