Scouts out

Thanks for the help guys. I have found a grip mount with another member. Thanks again.

I was looking for a 1/2" grip mount.

Hello all. I was hoping somebody here would know where to get a grip mount. Every place I try no longer has them in stock. I bought a parts kit off Gunbroker and didn't notice until after I bid that it wasn't a complete parts kit. It didn't come with a rear sight or grip mount. I didn't have any problems finding a sight but can't find a grip mount. Thanks for any info.

Thanks for the information. I'll try calling at that time.

Hello all. Been awhile since I've been here. I was wondering if anybody had a good way to contact Philadelphia Ordnance. I'm trying to place an order for a 80% receiver. I've sent emails through their site. I got an initial response but then nothing. I've called the telephone number on the website but always get a machine. The message on the machine says to leave your number and they'll call you back. The problem is I'm overseas right now and am using Skype to call them. I don't have a number to leave. I'm going to be home for a couple of weeks in the end of July and I could try to order it then but I was really hoping I could get the receiver done before then. If anybody has a better way to contact them it would greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I live in IL. How can they take my stuff if it's all legal(as of now) and my FOID is up to date?

Another option : Why can't the gunsmith just shorten the stock 16" barrel and reattach the comp? That might be even cheaper.

I just watched the history of AL Qaida, Osama bin Ladin, and the events leading up to Sept. 11, 2001 on The History Channel. Throughout they harp on the Clinton administration's lack of proactiveness (or reactiveness for that matter) which allowed bin Ladin to continue to operate, grow, and conduct attacks with only laughable retribution. I have to say this is almost the opposite of what you will get on the news. What did you get from the 911 Commission regarding Clinton's culpability? Or rather, what did you get from the news regarding this? It was all focused on Bush's 9 months in office and why he failed to prevent it.

Thanks for the info Ben. I thought they used the same round for .45 and 9mm(the MGC folks). Apparently not. It can't be because of the diameter of the bore (it's not a real bore...they can set it up any way they want). Is it because of the magazine? Just curious.

I have 55 three piece brass MGC rounds with two boxes of caps. 25 of the rounds are new in their boxes. The other 30 are loose. I have test fired a couple of them other than that they are new. The boxes read Uzi and Mp40 but I believe these to be the same used in the MGC Thompson(if not please chime in). 196 caps (I used 4 in the test fire). $125 shipping included. Paypal add 3%. Thanks.

Very relevant.

I'm pretty sure you can order back issues if you know the issue number.

I am asking $675. It looks like new and I don't think it's ever been fired. It comes with a new 10rd drum and a used, modified 20rd stick mag. About the gun...I originally had a display Thompson which I liked very much but decided to go ahead and get a semi-auto. I sold the display and I found a complete set of 27A1 semi-auto parts for auction on AuctionArms. It came with everything but the receiver and the rear sight. I think it was probably a gun that had been confiscated by some police department. They probably destroyed the receiver and sold the rest at a police auction. I don't know this for sure but I can't think of any other reason to destroy a receiver from a semi-auto. A week later I found a receiver for a 27A1 up for auction and I bought it. It didn't come with the rear sight. So, after I got the parts and the receiver I bought a new M1 style rear sight from Kahr. Also, the barrel that came with it was still attached to front stub of the destroyed receiver which I couldn't get off. So, I bought a new 16 1/2" finned and threaded barrel and new front sight and compensator from Kahr. I attached the barrel myself(I'd have a pro check the headspacing) and the compensator needs to be permanently attached(it's off center when I screw it down all the way). It has a horizontal foregrip. The finish is 100% and the wood is perfect. There is no wear on the bolt or anything which leads me to believe that it was never fired. Well, after having this gun in my gun cabinet for about nine months and never firing it, only taking it out occasionally to mess around with it I decided that I'd rather have a display gun again. I can't stand the look of the 16" barrel on a Thompson and SBR's aren't allowed in my state whichmakes me SOL as far as an authenic looking, firing gun. So, I went ahead and bought another display gun and decided that I would sell the semi-auto. I apologize for the long winded description but I wanted you to know exactly what I was offering. It's a 27A1 with a horizontal foregrip and M1 style rear sight. The barrel should be professionally headspaced and the comp professionally attached. This would be a perfect gun if you're planning on buying a new one and giving it to PK to work his magic. It looks like new and would save you about $200 on a NIB gun which would probably need tweaking anyway. It comes with a new, never used 10rd drum I bought from Kahr and a surplus 20rd mag which I modified to fit the semi. It fits very tightly but I can't attest to its feeding since I've never fired the gun. I guess I would describe the finish, not as 100% but rather 99.9%. The frame and the receiver do have a few very light scratches on them. I only mention this because I would rather have the buyer be pleasantly surprised than disappointed. I figured I would I would offer it here before posting it on one of the auction sites. Of course it would have to be sent to an FFL. Buyer would pay actual shipping. I can e-mail some pics. Thanks.
