Canadian eh ?

Loading from the back works just fine ... will now make the little tool and try that way ... Again, thanks to all that contributed to "educate" the newbie ...

Hey thanks for the tip ... the little tool is eay to make and your youtube site gave me another way to load the drum by opening the back ... Anyway, I was doing it all wrong, loading bullets right on top of the rubber gimmick that seems to be rather at the END of the loaded bullets ... I'll try the two ways ... with the litle tool and straight from the opened back of the drum ... Guys like you are a blessing for a guy like me ... not that I'm a newbie on firearms, but the Thompson experience is VERY uncommon in Canada ... Thanks again ...

Case for the carbine in the works

Many thanks to all ... this is great help ...Shadycon: the www.stevepages etc, real useful for parts and all ... And, Anjong-ni, I haven't the faintest idea what could be done with the "drum loading clip you sent a picture of . That might be the reason why the shells did stovepipe when I tried to use the drum ...the two stick mags work perfectly ... Deerslayer, I can shoot pretty tight by using the rear sight pushed completely on the right ... besides, I won't shoot the gun that much ... I got a Magnum Research rifle that'll beat the Thompson flat any day for precision ... As I said, the Thompson is mostly for the thrill of owning one ... so I won't try anything that might get the gun scratched or whatever ... To all, many thanks ... nobody, but nobody in my neck of the woods know anything about Thomsons except Al Capone and movies related ... Presently modifying a guitar case to fit the gun ...

Well, that answers part of the question .. so it's not really an original 1927 ... the carbine is in a pretty good shape and I had doubts as to the 1927 origin ... The sights are a bit misaligned, the rear peephole has to be completely moved to the right to correct the situation ... do you think the front Cutts compensator could be moved slightly to fix the problem ... I can't see whether it's screwed on, glued or soldered and I don't want to mess up by applying too much force ... Any idea how the compensator is fixed on the rifle ... mebbe there's some place where some kind of an ownwer's manual could be had ? I really appreciate your answers ... any Thompson here is viewed as a martian ray gun ... nobody I know as ever seen a live one ...

Just wanted to know about the model's origin ... is it really from 1927 ? The curved mags work real well but the drum has a tendency to stovepipe the rounds ... I have the adaptor for the curved mags ... In fact, what I'd like to know is where and when was the gun made ... I don't need parts but would like to know if that is still available ... the gun is in good shape, and won't be used much ... more like a collection piece. Thanks for your time ... What's this about the loading tool for the drum ? Isn't it just push the rounds one by one down the slot where they come out when shooting ?

Seems impossible to find any info on that particular carbine ... need help here ... I heard they were made in limited number for practice purpose ... but that's about all I heard, and that is probably not true ... Need help on that topic, please ...

First post ... hope I'm on the right spot ... I'm trying to locate documentation on a on a model 1927A3 Thompson and seem that no one has anything on that particular carbine ... Would appreciate an answer on this ...

I'm having a hell of a time trying to find documentation about a Model of 1927 A3 Thompson semi-auto carbine .22 L.R. cartridge ... would appreciate info related to such Thompson ...
