This is actually really cool! If one day you decide to shoot with it, please share a video with us. Congratulations on this beautiful piece

Hello pstidan, You've probably already sold your .22LR conversion kit. I'm currently looking for a kit like this to purchase. Maybe someone here on the forum has a kit and wants to sell it... Please talk to me! We can negotiate Marcio Passos

This is genius!! If possible, share the measurements with us. Is it a straight square? Or does it fold towards the inside of the drum?

I'm sure that I, like many colleagues here on the forum, would really like to know more about the history that started the use of Violin Cases. I've read somewhere that the FBI case simulates a Saxophone Case... Also disguising itself as a conventional model of gun cases... I think this was a big concern at the time... and that is also reflected today. You will certainly attract much less attention when crossing a street, carrying a Violin or Saxophone Case… My dear colleagues, I have been looking for a Violin Case made by Mr Gordon for some time now. But I haven't been successful yet. I would like to ask for your help so I can find one of these cases. If any of you want to sell your case, or know of someone who is getting rid of their collection… I would really like to be able to buy one of these cases. Mr Gordon was an icon for modern Thompson history. I unfortunately didn't meet him in person. But I had the opportunity to exchange some emails with him... It was just before he published his book... He was very kind and put one of my Colt Thompson # 8286/4106 in his book. I am the only Brazilian whose name is mentioned in the book. I count on the solidarity of you here, to be able to find a case. Thank you very much

Dear fellow collectors and enthusiasts of the Thompson world. I am a foreign collector who recently arrived on this forum. And I've already learned a lot of good things here. I have been looking for a case manufactured by Mr Gordon for some time now. But I haven't been successful yet. That's why I'm leaving this message here on the forum. If any of you want to sell your case, or know of someone who is getting rid of their collection… I would really like to be able to buy one of these cases. Mr Gordon was an icon for modern Thompson history. I unfortunately didn't meet him in person. But I had the opportunity to exchange a few emails with him... It was just before he published his book... He was very kind and put one of my Colt Thompson # 8286/4106 in his book. I am the only Brazilian whose name is mentioned in the book. I count on the solidarity of you here, to be able to find a case. Thank you very much

Hi David, I've been looking for Gordon Herigstad viola cases for some time now. But I haven't had any success yet. I would like to ask for your help so I can find a case to buy. Maybe you know someone who wants to sell... I will be very happy to be able to buy one of these cases. I never met Mr Gordon, but I had the opportunity to exchange a few emails with him. He was very kind to me, putting one of my Colt Thompon in his book. (This was a great gift for me) So David, if you can help me... or point me to a colleague who can help me with this I would be very grateful. Marcio Passos mpj_df@yahoo.com

Hi Roger, This device is truly a masterpiece. Do you know of any collectors who would make one of these (original) available for sale? Someone who might be getting rid of their collection. I would be interested in purchasing it.

Thank you very much for your reply. By the way, the Encyclopedia collection is getting very good. With each new volume, I am surprised by the amount of information and knowledge you have to share with the world. Congratulations on this magnificent work

Tracie, Is this device connected to a base? Why can't you see the motorcycle... Congratulations on the images. This certainly clarified the doubts of many members here.

Dear forum colleagues, Like many here, I am a collector and enthusiast of Colt Thompson magunificas! I've been thinking for a few days now.... What should be the whereabouts of the Thompson with serial number #1986. Is it in a museum? Is it from a collector? Or was it lost? This serial number has nothing special, other than being the year of my birth. But that led me to search... It was then that I looked at the book Colt Thompson Serial Numbers, by Mr Gordun Herigstag. I was able to find out that Thompson #1986 was originally shipped to Mexico. However, after being DESTROYED, its pieces would have returned to the USA in the "World Shooters" of Phoenix, Arizona. I was extremely disappointed to hear that it had been destroyed! And at the same time I was very happy to know that its parts would be in the USA. I ask you, my forum colleagues... Do you know the whereabouts of this piece? Is the owner of this piece here on our forum? It would be really cool to be able to see some photos of these weapons. Knowing how she was destroyed... Seeing how she is today. Thank you very much for everyone's attention

Hi motorgun, Be very happy to know that here on the forum, there are people like you, who have already been or lived here in Brazil. I hope that your experience here in Brazil was good. Actually having weapons in Brazil is something VERY complicated. With the Bolsonaro Government, things have improved a lot. However, we had a big setback again, with this new left-wing government. No, I'm not from the government and I'm not from the army. I am a businessman and shooting athlete. And because I'm a shooting athlete, I can have access to a greater number of ammunition... Everything you described, about the quantities of ammunition and caliber restrictions, still applies to all normal citizens... A shooting athlete today can purchase 4 thousand ammunition per year. In the last government, 50 thousand purchases could be made. However, being an athlete does not guarantee you to carry a weapon. Things here are bureaucratic in the extreme. In which city did you live here in Brazil? Nice gun! Congratulations It is a great pleasure to talk with you.

Hi BillyDixon, I live outside the US, I'm a foreigner. I made a FOIA record, 3 days ago. So far I have only received an automatic message confirming that they have received my order... But I'll let you know if this will work. I'm hopeful this might work. see you soon

JJX, I can guarantee you that it's a lot of fun to shoot short barreled! Initially, when I bought this Tommy 1921, I was a bit apprehensive... because the barrel is very short, it doesn't have a compressor... So I thought that shooting in full mode would be chaotic. But I had a very pleasant surprise. Even with the barrel so short, it behaves well... Maybe because of the weight of the gun itself... But the tongue of fire that comes out of the muzzle is much more interesting here on the short barrel! lol When it is without the butt, it is so small that you want to hide it inside your overcoat.

Thank you very much, Ron I sent a message to Taliaferro. I'm confident he'll respond soon. My best regards Marcio Passos

Hi Gene Thank you very much! Richard is a good person. I'm glad that others here on the forum have recently been in contact with him. That is great. I will keep you posted. He really must be very busy. But it's good to know he's around. Soon he will be able to get back to us. Best Marcio Passos
