  1. ...but a TAG Heuer allows you to buy more guns or a lot more ammo. Priorities, priorities
  2. So he registered an otherwise transferable lower thereby turning it into a postie? Sounds like a genius at work What happens when he or some other poor fool puts an upper on it? It legally becomes a pair of SMGs? I fail to see the logic in the whole process
  3. The Carcano 38 rifles of WWII vintage carried a two-letter prefix to the S/N. Later in the war all other manufacturer markings were omitted. My Moschetto 38 is dated 9/42 and carries S/N TW2xx but no manufacturer marks. The TW prefix means the Royal Arms Factory at Gardone Val Trompia. Perhaps the 2 letter codes on MAB38/42s and 44s without the manufacturer's name are equally significant. My MAB38/42 is marked "CS" but that code does not appear in the Carcano listings that I have seen so there is probably a second list somewhere
  4. But the S/N that ATF cares about is the one on the upper receiver; it is the serialized part. The others are just parts
  5. Dunno about the PPS43 but on the PPSh 41 the lower is not the serialized part. The same seller also has a slotted Uzi conversion bolt listed for $999. It must be something in the water 🤣🤣
  6. What do you need to know? Pretty straightforward MP38s from what I can see
  7. Does the Franchi LF-57 use the same magazine? From the pictures they look extremely similar probably identical.
  8. I looked at their website. Lots of pictures of vintage militaria (and thankfully no surplus junk) but not a lot of firearms. Militaria really isn't my thing so I'm trying to figure out whether or not to go. How large is the firearms part of the show?
  9. Do you really want to go down the Post-sample rabbit hole? If you want a Thompson get a real GI one. They aren't cheap but nothing in the Class III world is. The best use for a WH semi is to put a 10.5" barrel on it and register it as an SBR
  10. It's not the oil pads on a '28 that cut down on the spray. That buffer disc that most of us have replaced with a urethane one seals off the hole much better than the metal/elastomer/metal sandwich that the M1 and M1A1 use
