Lyman Ladder Sight Issue
95mustang replied to DZelenka's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
The only part that keeps the leaf from moving is the little PC of spring steel with the plunger on it . If the spring is week or the tip of plunge is worn down. Last I new numrich had them for a few bucks each. -
My tm1 was usgi barrel threads. And a full auto barrel has a looser chamber....so fail to feed are a lot less frequent. I got my barrel from numrich and had very good luck.

Grip Mount Removal

The thread you are referring to is a 14-24 As you say it is an outdated thread form Hard to find , a 1/4 x 24 tap will work in a pinch -

Phila Ordnance Full Auto Blank Gun Revisited
95mustang replied to reconbob's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
There is a lot of you tube videos out there in interweb land....that show / instruct how to make 45 acp blanks. And red dot seems to be the powder choice Looks to be time consuming the first time around , making the brass from a 308 case. Second time reloading mAy be quiicker. I've never tried it so no experience -
Reloads with 230 grain plated copper Or powder coated 230 grain lead cast bullets On top of 5 to 5.4 grains of w231. My tm1 runs excellent on it. Never tried the steel case stuff Aluminum runs fine . I prefer the OEM springs with a longer charging handle. Others have had really good results from the ex pull spring replacement. I tried the mcmaster carr setup with springs and buffer pad but found I was having fail to feed a lot. Once the action started to get dirty a bit (around a couple of mags thru it.)mine runs almost flawless on the OEM springs. Any issues with feeding are generally mag related.

Because the non removable mag on the rebuild means he can have 1 of his evil items back ....like the pistol grip...lol

Dumb idea?
95mustang replied to rick57's topic in Thompson Semi-Auto Discussion Forum (West Hurley & Kahr Semis)
And if ya try it without the firing pin or firing pin spring in, it will slam shut so fast it will crush the round just as it leaves the feed ramp and into the barrel. It only works when it's completely assembled . -
Forend Screw

Problem will be finding a genuine gi grip mount . Or any 1/2 inch grip mount they pretty scarce. Not to mention if you do find one it will cost the best part of a Benjamin. Waffenmeister has decent repos for under 70 bucks -

Yes -
I just use a slightly longer charging handle and it makes it so much easier to pull the bolt back. I first went with lighter springs but found that as the gun got dirty it started having fail to feed issues after a couple hundred rounds. Clean worked ok but a typical Range session of 300 to 500 rounds would make for a lot of misdeeds the dirtier it got. With the OEM springs that never happens , no matter how crusty the action gets with powder residue.
