Some photos of a Manville 37mm Gas Shell, measures approximately 7.5 inches in length. Also some factory literature that was wrapped around the shell when packaged.

FWIW my Manville 25mm Second Generation is Serial # M831

You could try running an adjustable gas plug to bleed off some gas towards the muzzle https://www.schustermfg.com/m1a-adjustable-gas-plug/

The serial numbers on the upper mean nothing for NFA Purposes.

What times are the show on Friday April 26?

H2munitions, welcome to the board!

There are LCGNM Reproduction Parts: https://lcgnm.com/product-category/auto-ordnance-thompson-parts-and-accessories/

Those are fake Colt Parts

It’s all relevant to certain snapshots in time. I was complaining when Fleming HK Sears jumped from $500 to $600 Each 🤔

It appears that the ready availability and low cost of aftermarket TSMG Barrels has brought down demand for USGI Barrels.

Great job Doug!!!

That was a demill method used by the US Military at one time, saw or torch cut(s) thru both the receiver and frame and usually everything in between. Demilled parts were then auctioned as scrap. Just part of a military demill standard used at a certain point in time.

There were periods in the 1970-80’s prior to the many parts kit imports, when M1 Thompson Trigger Frames were fairly scarce and pricey. Welding up demilled parts was simply an option to obtain a needed part at that given time.

Law Enforcement Ordnance Co. Price List - July 10, 1975 Item # 52

M15

Photo is somewhat distorted, it is a VN Era Manufacture U.S. Mk2

United States M15 Series White Phosphorus Grenade

United States M26 Series Fragmentation Grenade

United States MK2 Series Fragmentation Grenade

I don’t believe that any M3 had “Lamp” in the nomenclature markings , just “Guide” in cursive script. Can someone post an example of M3 “Guide Lamp” Markings???

Could be, also interesting that both TSMG’s are wearing 30 round magazines.

U.S. firearms owners as a whole are the most law abiding people on the planet. It’s not about wanting or not wanting to follow laws, it’s about continual additional firearms laws that do absolutely nothing to prevent crime. I am not aware of one gangster that complied with the 1934 NFA and registered his Thompson. Nor any militant that registered his MG, sawed-off shotgun and pipe bombs during the 1968 Amnesty. Nor one gangbanger that stood up and took heed in May 1986, or registered their streetsweeper in 2001. How many lives were saved due to the 1989 import ban, or saved when bayonet lugs and flashiders were removed during the 1994 weapons ban? I don’t ever remember a rash of drive by bayonet-ings’ before these laws. Arm braces are so dangerous and scary that no one should now be be able to own one without being photographed and fingerprinted, even a disabled veteran who lost pieces of his body overseas fighting communism and wars on terror. I can tell of many law abiding, hard working citizens that can no longer afford to own NFA or previously import banned semi auto examples, due to current cost increases from the previous mentioned laws, laws that incidentally didn’t reduce crime. Yet any homie can still bring an AK across from Mexico for a few hundred bucks and probably not be challenged at the border. After 40 years involvement in NFA, I do not see how any additional firearms laws will prevent crime? I have only seen them preventing law abiding citizens from owning something that they should be able to afford and responsibly own, and held to consequences if misused against another, because hey, this is (or was) America and what hundreds of thousands of soldiers died for, right? The Fudd’s say it’s ok to ban scary things, because it doesn’t affect me, without realizing that it affects everyone and all future generations. The good news is POTOS just nominated The VP as head of the newly formed White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Don’t worry folks, the kool aid is free, drink up 🤔
