I have one of these in my Thompson collection.

How about if we meet at the Osseo American Legion 240 4th Ave SE, Osseo,MN {just off Cty Rd 81} at 11 AM, Jan 23, 2016. I will find a table for us. They serve food if interested. There is a military gun show that day at the Brooklyn Park Armory that you could visit before or after our mtg. I hope several can attend. Please inform all Thompson people you know. Many will recognize me from gun shows past, Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and safe New Year.

I had the wrong model. I need a factory mag for a Beretta Model 70s, .22RF. Sorry for the confusion.

Wanted==mag for Beretta model 71, 22rf, must be factory not after market,

Thanks for the info. This forum is so valuable.

Because of the favorable response: How about if I find a location in the Osseo area on JAN 16 Sat or JAN 23, Sat where we could have a private room or area? Noon might be a good time so not to interfere with evening family time. If someone has a better idea for location or time please post it. We could find a spot where lunch is served if anyone wants. Agenda might include making a mailing notification list, possible shoot, possible joint exhibit at a show, just gathering periodically to talk Thompson talk.,ect. Your thoughts?

I am a MN resident, I do not have a FFL or SOT. I have a Curio & Relic license. Question: Do I need ATFE approval to bring a C&R machinegun into South Dakota? Question: Can I bring a silencer into South Dakota? If the answer is "yes" , is my registration papers, Forms 3 enough? I was a class 3 when I acquired the mg's. Thanks for any advice I have not traveled with class 3 in many years.

Is there any interest in MN thompson collectors getting togather to share stories about their items and even possible displays at a future show sometime?

Sig====sorry no PM received. wwl

Sig-----My computer will not let me print the 2 images you posted [1925 VL&A cover and the Auto Burglar page]. If you find a free moment and PM me I could give you my address if you could reproduce those 2 pages for me. I would have them lamenated for my display. I will surely reimburse you for your time and expense.

No, only the 2 images just posted,

Thanks for the 2 images of VL&A. I have a Auto Burglar NID mfg in 1925 that I purchased from the retired sheriff 30 years ago and will add these 2 page images to my display. I have traced the gun from Ithaca to VL&A in Chicago. The gun was carried in the Depts squad for 40 years.

Thanks----my safe is at 48%. This forum is wonderful for helping with questions.

I never leave my house with a NFA item and not have my registration form copy with me. Yet, in over 30 years of exhibiting NFA items at gun shows and shooting NFA at a gravel pit, I have never even once been asked to show my registration papers. Just my 2cents worth.

What humidity level should one strive for inside a safe with a golden rod humidifier?

Are you of the opinion that the BATF would approve a transfer of a 1927 registered as a SBR into a state where SBR's were legal but MG's were not. Would BATF allow me to install my semi parts into my 1927 registered as a MG and change the registration to a SBR?

After following this discussion re BATF's attitude on Colt 1927's registered as SBR in semi-auto, it seems to me that my 1927AC converted back to full-auto and registered as a MG, but because I also have the 4 parts to convert to semi-auto, I might have one of the best of the 1927 world.

Under BATF's rule of "once a machinegun, always a machinegun" how can a Colt 1927 ever be a SBR? It would seem to me that a court challenge to ATF's determination that a 27 regestered as a SBR cannot be changed on the Form 3 or 4 to that of machinegun would not be sustained. Following the ATF on this one, if a Colt 1921A could be converted to a 1927SBR why not a M2 Carbine to M1 by removing the M2 parts? or a M16 to AR15 by removing the full-auto parts? Another question===would ATF allow a transfer of a Colt 1927 registered as a SBR to a state that did not allow machineguns?

Seems to me I read somewhere that #41 was shipped to Mexico and destroyed.

I have a Colt 1927AC that is converted to FA and registered as a machinegun on the form 4, but I also have the 4 parts to convert it back to semi-auto only. This must be somewhat unusual.

I think we need Eric Larson to answer this one, if anyone can contact him.

In 1934 when the NFA was passed the transfer tax on H&R Handyguns was $200. What year was the tax reduced to $5 on 12 1/4" guns but kept at $200 for 8" barreled guns? What year did the transfer tax get reduced to $5 on 8" barreled Handyguns?

Any idea what a PPsh41 is going for these days. I may have a chance at one, the condition [from a photo] appears to be like one started by " michaelihl" sp?

I bought my 1927AC in the mid 1980's and the one now for sale at $65,000 are the only ones I seem to recall being up for sale. I admit I do not see see all possible "for sale" ads but it seems to me it is a pretty rare model. In my mind when AO devoted separate pages to the 1927 in their brochures and ads that makes it a separate model, at least in my mind. A 1927 is stamped "model of 1927", not "variation of 1927" My 2cents worth.
