I'm brand new to this forum! I just bought a Thompson 1928a1 Savage parts kit (See image below) from the fellow at this link http://gutterrattmac...pson-parts.html. I bought the best he had of everything, including 12 mags and an original WW2 Cutts compensator. Can someone tell me what I bought? The website says, "These are Russian lend/lease guns that were never put into service and stored for 50+ years before being de milled". Did I buy the right parts kit if I want to build a working historical gun? I'm a Type 7 FFL and know absolutely nothing about these, but plan to build it into a working semi auto. I also purchased a demilled 4 cut receiver from another source with the idea of welding it back together, which for me is a piece of cake. I don't want to ask redundant questions in here, as I'm sure it's been asked a million times, but where is the best resource to get good technical information on doing what I want to do? As a gun manufacturer myself www.blackhorsearsenal.com there are no limits! These are posts in another forum about us. My name in these forums is "Gorbachov".
