My god..........

Well... I'm not trying to sell you anything! Just answered some questions from my own observations. Parts i have sold over the years are based on current market price. as far as I am concerned apart is a part. Most have moved thru many hands over the years, and never documented except perhaps a receipt or bill of sale. I have owned several complete NAC parts guns, and a lot of loose parts over the years, So take it for what its worth.

Not real thompsons, denex...........

Thanks so much! Scotty

Can someone steer me to where all of the Thompson blueprints are, I had the link before but cannot seem to find it, Regards, Rod

No, this is what i was told 32 years ago. i did not feel the need to "document" anything because i was buying crates of parts and nobody back then cared about that sort of thing. I still have some frames marked " Number and NAC" probably from when they were building guns out of parts..........

Here is the answer to your mystery. I purchased a large amount of Thompson parts from Numerich about 1981 or so. I had a LOT of marked and unmarked trigger frames. Had a small amount of AO trigger frames not marked AO but otherwise correct. same with the savage trigger frames. some were NO-S, others nothing at all. a lot had inspector marks some did not. It was clear, when production was shut down, they QUICKLY packed everything up-finished or not, and shipped it out.

I know what that is. Its a VERY rare savage training gun to show how the action works. generally, they were made from scrap parts, but what is really unusual about this, was savage and AO were going to build a number of "Highbred' 1928s using 1928 receivers and M1a1 parts, and actually did a number for evaluation. but the Govt. decided they had enough M1a1's and M1 Grease guns so it apparently, did not go forward. I have one almost identical, M1a1 rear sight, and a filled barrel with a non compensated sight. Take a LOT of pictures, as far as i know only 3 or so ever made it into civvy hands. Lucky guy................

Looks like M3 aircraft gun parts.

Those are British "proof" marks for a proof house. all guns supposedly were to have proof marks to be sold in the UK. see them on a lot of Thompsons re-imported as police guns back in the day.

I have several housings for sale rodmckay@comcast.net

I also have 3 semi AO semi-auto frames with full auto markings! No selector holes though.

I have Thompson frames in stock now. https://products.mckay-ent.com/mckay-parts/mckay-parts-5680/thompson-1928-frame-4494986 just a FEW.

I have several new savage "bright bolts. Let me know if interested. Rod
