I remember reading somewhere years ago that the story started after Dillinger was seen with a sawed off shotgun stuffed down his pants leg.

Sandy, if you don't want to wait for PK to schedule another run of actuator conversions I believe Doug Richardson still has some of his newly made '21 actuators. They are pricey but ready now and may not be that much more than the cost of a '28A1 part plus cost of conversion.

Cutts comps look to be bored out and do those mags look overly long even for 30 rounders or is it just my old evenalls?

I thought I read someplace that the gun was stolen from the museum years ago and never recovered.

looks like it was cut to fit over ejector rod and into chambers to hold cylinder for some operation

yes the 1928A1 mag release should fit any standard mag

with proper tools a good gunsmith should be able to pull a barrell without damaging any parts. check out Doug Richardsons site. might even be able to do it yourself with his wrench and holding fixture.

auto rim was made to fire in revolvers chambered for 45acp without using the half moon clips it has a very thick rim. DO NOT load this into any type of semi or auto firearm you may well lodge a round in the chamber, cause damage to your extractor or have an out of battery detonation. That is if you can hammer it into a magazine, the stuff shouldn't fit into the mag.

If you look closley you can see the safety and slide stop notch on both guns and no ejection port his hat may be a lefty but those Colts aren't

Can you imagine the stink that would get raised if the girl with skull picture were printed today.Not exactly PC.

just curious. How often do you change the oil filter on a thompson and where is it located?

the "press" has used and twisted the freedom guaranteed in the Bill of Rights to the point that they can get away with just about any outrage with almost total impunity. Trying to sue almost any so called news organization is a steep up hill battle. Thats one reason they have no problem hiding behing the first amendment while trying to destroy the second.

couldn't you tig weld up the hole and recut it round??

was firing a semi 1928 converted to full auto at a rental range many years ago. a case that had been reloaded one too many times seperated and left the front part in the chamber. Next round chambered half way and fired, blew out bottom of case, destroyed the mag and scared hell out of me and shop guy standing next to me. Had smoke cumming out of holes in sides of mag and pretty much everywhere else. After driving cast slugs down the tube to remove stuck case fragment gun was unhurt and good to go.

Deacon: Is that picture of Joe Friday from the episode where he killed a quy in a shootout amd the other quys bullet had raised a plank in a shelf and was hiding behind the board and they mistook the lead streak for a pencil mark and they almost never found it? (excuse the run on sentence) I think Friday had gone into the laundromat to buy a pack of cigs. if memory serves after all these years.

From what i've read Calif. doesn't have a good track record of returning guns that come into their posession. It generally requires a court battle for a legal owner to retreive a gun once "the law" gets their mitts on it. In most cases not worth the legal fees, this time it might be.

are those drums OEM or aftermarket??

sorry hit wrong forum and can't figure out how to move

3 for 3

Not mine and have no intrest in the sale just posting for reference. don't know how to post link Price sounds kind of high to me but I don't have vast knowledge on pricing.

left side of gun behind markings and below rear sight looks line a ding on top corner of receiver and a scratch down the side or do I need bifocals adjusted?

You do, actually. It is under our care with the FBI in our capitol. Rob, as you probably know, the lost Dillinger Colt pocket pistol was found recently. It was mounted in the FBI display case with other Dillinger artifacts, however in recent years some Colt gun noticed the numbers and traced the gun on display to Volney Davis in 1935. ( remember I'm on memory a lot these days but I'm damn close ) So what happened to the real Dillinger gun? Nobody knew, gone, stolen from the FBI ??? Mystery. What happened, when the FBI took down the display to redo it or whatever, they they stored all the Dillinger stuff, gun still missing. Dr. John Fox, FBI historian, was in the closet where the Dillinger artifacts were stored with other things and here was the original gun, had probably been misplaced in another display or something. You can go to Larry Wacks site and read the story. How they mounted these guns, they drilled holes right through them to bolt to the wall. In one of my postings on the guns, is the original, you can see the mounting holes- Yes, I believe the same to the historic Thompsons !! If I remember correctly the Dillenger pistol also has a large hole that looks like it was torched. This is the way the FBI treats our national historical treasures. Can't be too careful with those dangerous guns you know, a civilian might get to touch it some day.
