There have been some good deals from Palmetto State Armory, on S&B 230 gr ball.

Better get MAACO!!

Just received a copy today. Full of great photos. $27 + shipping from Midway USA.

Lend lease 1928. British proofs New York address. Looks buffed and blued. Details

Just get some old dish towels and go to it. That's part of the fun.

You have really done a lot of work. I commend you for taking the time to look at all of them.

Ruben had that gun for sale in February. It was sold. Deal must not have went thru.

Got two mags. Great condition! They are new magazines. Well preserved with grease. There is no better deal out there. Will have to get some more. Great communication and shipping.

I just ordered the 9 dollar one from Thriftbooks.

The barrel and comp. look really buffed and re-blued

According to TUTB page 599. They are second gen Maguire era "Incorrect" Date mags.

Order in.

I know what you're saying. Took me well over a year to find just what I wanted.

That looks great!

That is too cool!!

I bought an unused, in the box Bridgeport L Drum. I'm sure I was the first person to open the drum up since it was boxed at the factory. There has been no oil or preservative on the drum outer body. The "WIND TO 9 OR 11 CLICKS" characters have a yellowed "fill" of some type in them. It is light and there is a "smear" trace, as if someone dipped a sponge or maybe their finger in paint, and brushed it across the characters. Was this a factory process to call attention to the winding instructions? I have seen the letters on drums in photos highlighted many times and thought it was just done for photo or display purposes. I am sure this was not done buy the previous owner, and no other letters have been "highlighted". Any thoughts?

Is this a Colt lever? What's it worth. No markings. Pointed checkering. It was rusty so I had soaked it in Kroil and scrubbed it with a bronze brush. Fair amount of pitting and still a little rust left. The top side is not too bad looking. Would be a good part for a display gun maybe. Are they hard to come by?

There are two patent date mags for sale at a local gun show. Will have to go back Sunday to look closer at them. They are in fair condition, with finish loss and some minor pitting. I don't really have interest in them. But I would buy them if anyone thought it was a good a good value and wanted them. Price I believe was $100 or $120 each. I will go over my TUTB. to see if I can tell which variation they are. I know it's late but I'll check this thread tomorrow.

Yes; Really great book. It's fascinating seeing the numbers in print, of the guns and accessories that were bought.

Looks like a hand numbered serial. What are all those mags worth? $4-$5K 474043357

This just keeps getting better.

I bet we get another chance!

Great looking gun. What was done to demilitarize it? Nice you don't have to chop it up like here.

I can't understand why someone hasn't jumped all over that! If it wasn't for the local pick up thing, that would have been mine

OCM… Shhhhh Who said the wife knows. Yes it was discussed with the wife. She knows I don't jump on the first thing I see. I've done a lot reading on the board. Bought The Ultimate Thompson and AT II and Tom's Great Britain The Tommy Gun Story. And have Doug's Shop Manual on the way. Also conversations with some great board members. A Thompson has been something I've wanted for a long time. I know I will be very with this one.
