Frank I.

Anyone have a VG/EXC/NEW original GI M1 Thompson pistol grip? TOO many scammers to ask on the WTB boards. PM me if you have one to sell. Frank

Anyone buy a new manufactured barrel from Indianapolis Ordnance? I Just bought one from them, the chamber is WAY too tight, I had to knock the spent casing out with a cleaning rod.

The very first thing he asked me was where I lived, which seemed odd. ( I guess he wanted to make sure I wasn't within driving distance) The Zelle number he gave had a different area code than where he said lived. (Look up how Zelle scammers work) He would not provide his actual address, just a city and state Then he said he would take payment by Venmo, his account name was odd, not sure how those accounts work, but mine is my name. It is disheartening how many dishonest people there are who invade every venue online to steal money.

He turned out to be a scammer... Tried to scam me on Sturm's wanted to buy board. I got a response from a "wanted to buy ad." A Board member says "PM this guy I just bought M3A1 parts from him" and gives me an email address. (board member who gave me the tip just joined) His email was similar to some guy in California who did sound production, but it was a Yahoo email. I emailed him he sends me pictures of M3 parts (I found the same pics with a Google search online). He wants paid by Zelle and wants me to send him a screenshot of the Zelle transaction. That is a huge red flag, it is a ploy scammers use, as to why, look it up too long to type here. I said I would rather send a USPS MO... He says he can't cash them (??) I asked for a phone picture of the items I wanted to buy along with a piece of paper with my name on it... he says NO I am not doing that. I could tell from the emails he had NO idea what M3 parts were BOTH accounts have been deleted from Strum.

I recently bought one of Joe's M3 cans... Nice and quiet...

Old thread, but I just acquired one as a spare. M3A1 Bolts 16447 is Milo Components Inc. Freeport, NY They also made 1911A1 pistol parts.

Anyone ever deal with...Alan Howarth of Mississippi?

Got 2 pins from Indianapolis Ordnance

Still looking for an extractor pin also could use a trigger assembly.

I have had bad luck with their parts and service and quit buying anything from them

Anyone know a source for an M3 extractor retaining pin? None available from Numrich, Apex, RTG, Sherwood

I realize this is an old thread but I have the Drawing for the driving springs, some of the info is hard to read but the OAL, number of coils etc are readable. This was an 11/43 drawing for the M3, there were probably revisions after this one. There is also a manufacturing manual for the M3A1 at the National Archives in College Park, MD. If I ever go back, I will check it. If anyone here is planning on visiting the archives, I probably have the location of the manuals; without it, you could spend months looking for them. Wire diameter .032 + - .001 Coils 67 + 1/2 Oal 13.5" - .75

I went there in 2012, and it was packed with visitors! Same with the War and Peace show. I have not seen that much enthusiasm for museums or events here in the US, well maybe Knob Creek RIP ?

In PA we have a ROS (record of sale) part of the state background check for handguns, a copy of which is required to be kept by the FFL In PA we use the state's background system PICs, not the fed's NICS I also print the State Police background approval form and attach a copy of the dealer's FFL the gun came from.

When I do a transfer or a sale I am in the habit of attaching the PA state forms (Record of Sale) any FFL license involved, and a copy of the PA background check receipt to the 4473 forms. Is attaching other (related) info to 4473s a problem with ATF? I did ask "the experts" they were not sure...

Everything you need to know about Military Thompsons is here for $39.95 (plug :- ) ) https://chipotlepublishing.com/our-books/ American Thunder: Military Thompson Machine Guns Hardcover An in-depth study of the famous Thompson submachine gun. Fielded by the United States and her allies during World War II. This is the third printing of American Thunder; the Military Thompson Submachinegun Guns. The concept of the Thompson originated during World War I, by John T. Thompson. By the time the weapon was designed and placed into production, the war had ended. Post war sales were made to a few law enforcement agencies and corporations, but some ended up in the hands of criminals, earning the gun a sinister reputation. Nearly twenty years later, at the beginning of World War II, there was a desperate need for weapons, and the Thompson was placed back in production. The submachine gun was issued to U.S. and allied military forces and helped win the war. 412 pages, color and black/white photos.

I know there are several old threads on the subject, I have read all of them, because mine recently broke. Below is a description of my (unsuccessful) attempt to replace it so far. If you have replaced one, please add your comments or tips. I have several NOS ejectors in my stash, one thing I noticed is that they need to be fitted, despite the drawing (on this site) showing the width to be .210" mine were several thousands thicker, and mine would not clear the slot in the bolt until I filed it to .183" My problem is successfully "bucking" the stud on the ejector. I tried using an air-hammer along with a tool I made from a steel bar to secure the ejector in place. The air hammer successfully upset the stud, but apparently, the air hammer had too much force and I could not keep the ejector flush against the wall of the receiver. Next after Christmas ends, I will try upsetting the stud with a hammer and punch, with a helper using the tool I made to hold the ejector in place. The drawing says 'silver solder in place", I may just do that... Comments, tips etc. appreciated Happy Holidays!
