Thompson Machine made a special mount for 7/8x24. Fit was excellrnt.

Got the net off of ebay and picked up a used camera tripod. Bolt the net on. Adjust the height for the shooter with the net slightly tilted back. Found with the net straight some brass would bounce back out. https://www.ebay.com/itm/111526997604

Thought I would make a quick video of my M50 with Thompson Machine ISIS2 suppressor with a custom adapter they made me. Also installed a tall front Mauser sight from Brownells. The extra weight helps controlling the rifle during full auto firing. Allen IMG_0033.mov

Are you using a 30 round magazine. Some 30 round magazines when fully loaded or overloaded make it difficult for the bolt to strip the first few rounds from the magazine. I cut the trigger spring down to get a better trigger pull. I do not remember how much I removed. I bought two trigger springs and would cut a coil off of the first spring and try the trigger pull. I did this until trigger no longer functioned. I cut the second trigger spring a little longer than the first one was when it stopped working. No problems in over 1K rounds. Improved trigger some.

Once you shoot it, it may become a weekly habit. Luckily I can shoot mine at the house.

Skoda, the sight picture is the reason I am considering a rail. The suppressor allows me to not disturb my neighbors and remove it when I go to the range. I need to find a rifle that has a 1.25 inch receiver to come up with a rail with the correct curvature on the base. Or maybe someone can come up with a simple way to identify a rail that will fit.

As soon as I receive my custom 7/8x24 mount for my Thompson Machine SG-2 suppressor, I will need to do something about raising my sights or putting a picatinny rail for optics my M50. Picatinny rail is not my first choice because I will have to alter the M50 (drilling 2 screw holes) if I figure out which one would fit the contour of the receiver. But the rail seems the most practical solution. Iron sights would require raising front and back sights .35 inches to clear the suppressor. Any ideas would be helpful. So fire away.

Must be an urban legend

While waiting on ATF to process my paperwork, I have been reading about M1/M2s. There have been several mentions of stretched receivers after extended use. Depending on the condition of the host carbine I purchased, I may be buying another host for the trigger pack. I can not find an explanation of how to check for a stretched receiver. Can someone explain how to check and pictures of a stretched receiver would nice to see. Thanks for your help.

Is shows as "M2 Trigger Guard"

The trigger pack is the registered part. No mention of a firearm on form 4

Two local gunsmiths and I have failed at pulling the reising 50 barrel. So now the question is other than John Andrewski is there anyone who could do the work for me with quick turnaround. John is a year out.

I have agreed to a deal on M2. I have never held a M2 much less worked on one. What do I need to read? What parts should I have on hand to do common repairs? Are the aftermarket M1/M2 compatible with the USGI carbines?

In December Keystone said the were in the process of getting bids to make the different parts. So maybe this year or not.

I will be doing that but where to clamp it?

I need swap barrels on m50. Wondering where the guys out there that have done this clamped the receiver. The two places I’m considering are around the ejection port area (yellow x) or around the area behind the rear magazine well mount (red x). Normally I clamp as close to the junction of barrel and receiver as I can. But clamping over the ejection port is worry some. Who has done this and where did you clamp?

Gunsmith called and he is having difficult time a m50 barrel from the the receiver left on the barrel from demilling process. He asked if the the barrel threads are right hand or left hand. Anyone know? I have assumed right hand but don’t know why? Thanks in advance for information.

After checking the threading on my Reising, they are concentric enough to run a suppressor. I need to find a 7/8x24 to 5/8x24 adapter to mount the suppressor. I will be using the SG-2 from Thompson Machine. I checked with Bowers as mentioned in another post. They didn't have one nor was interested in making one. The only other option is to rethreading the barrel to 5/8x24 which would mean I could not remount the compensator. Any other suggestions on how to mount the suppressor?

On mine the plunger is the only thing visible when the rifle is cocked. Just put your spring in reversed to the spring hole. If there is binding when first trying to insert, take a file and dress the edges of the plunger.

I double checked and I don't have a groove in my receiver, They clearance between the top of the trigger and receiver is very small and the top of the plunger is forced into the spring hole when the trigger is pulled. the diameter of the plunger was tight going into the hole. I filed down the diameter of the top of the plunger. That fixed my issue.

I found the button on the trigger spring did not easily fit into the trigger spring hole. I dressed it down until it fit easily and now my trigger pull is what I would consider normal for a military weapon.

1.27 inches here

Received my Reising 50 on Nov. 11. Exactly one year to the day of sending in paperwork. The serial no is 61xx range. Have 4 magazines. All run great. One 12, one 20, and two 30 round. The only issue is with the trigger. It take about 20 lbs of pull. Is that standard for the weapon. Plan on dissembling this weekend to look at trigger and clean. TIA for your replies.

Spend the $30 to get an C&R FFL. That way you can buy a Pre-68 item from any FFL. Saves a step.
