Interesting topic in this thread on Swedish K tube gun prices while I agree some are overpriced ( at the moment) I would even use the term Insane as Got Uzi mentions But………. when I bought my Wilson L tube Swedish K NFA item I was told by a multitude of people I was paying too much at……….12k and maybe I was at the Time but my Mantra on a gun I want is “ I didn’t pay too much, I just bought early” there is not a gun I bought from Ruben that I paid a premium for that has not passed that Initial purchase price in time.

** All Sold ** With David’s advance permission given, I would like to offer for sale to 3 Board members one of the first variation Taiwanese Crosby Co. Thompson L drums still sealed in the plastic, just like the one shown from the David Albert collection as shown in the Boards “Reproduction Thompson Accessories Reference Guide/Reproduction Metal Accessories. All have the word “ Thompson” intact and not ground off as in subsequent drums, All 3 boxes intact & drums sealed in plastic although someone with an artistic flair decided the boxes needed extra Info with a Sharpie $350.00 each and that includes USPS large Flat box Priority shipping and Insurance I would like to spread the wealth so Please, ****1 Drum Per Board Member*** the first 3 members who post under this saying “I will take one” get one I will accept your Check, Postal Money order PayPal Discreet Friend or Family or Apple Cash (I don’t do Zelle or Venmo) photographs below, obviously I am shooting through plastic on the lettering as mentioned they are still sealed. Thanks For Reading & As Always Thank You David for the Boards! From David’s Description: Taiwanese Crosby L-Drums: Around 2006, a Taiwanese company was contracted by an American company to reproduce L-Drums, and about 200 were produced and sold initially. The drums worked well, and were marked in the same manner as the World War II Crosby drums. The drums are blued, and their markings appear slightly less crisp and deep when compared to original Crosby drums. After some controversy regarding the markings, subsequent drum markings were changed, an example of which I do not have currently. The drum in the picture below arrived well-oiled, inside two plastic bags, packaged in the fiber-board box pictured. Apparently these drums were not internally greased at the factory, which is another characteristic which may aid in identification.

M1918 Winchester B.A.R. Furniture Question
azboater replied to azboater's topic in Browning Message Board (Full Auto Only)
Jim, Another question, since you have one, were these lend lease guns Parkerized before or on return from being sent overseas by the US? Or did M1918 guns remained original blued? Mine is so uniform it looks Arsenal refinished not civilian parked But I don’t have proof either way Thanks in advance -

Yes it is single fire F & Auto fire A as in M1918 Fired it yesterday and today no hiccups It is Not slow/Fast auto fire as an M1918A2 So your saying I could have the original buffer that fits the wooden stock? Does the M19A2 stock work with the original M1918 model buffer? -

PPSH-41 Drum Function & Winding Question
azboater replied to azboater's topic in Russian Submachine Gun Forum
Thanks Richard I will try that and yes I have a bunch of stick mags also the 1 drum that is ready to go is only 100 serial numbers off from my gun -
So I am going to shoot my C&R PPSH-41 this weekend for the first time I have 3 drums, 2 came with the gun 1 I bought separately All lock in gun & fit, however 2 of the drums can only be turned 3 winding clicks and stop, 1 drum goes 8 clicks as demonstrated on you tube videos describing correct function & tension.... So are the 2 broken or sprung? Can they be adjusted? will they function and unload a 71 round drum with only 3 clicks? or does it make sense to just replace them? Thanks In Advance Everybody!
