Well a good time was had by all....AND WAS ABLE TO MEET SOME TOMMYGUN GUYS AND SHARE TALES, HOWEVER NO SALES. PRICES WHY BOTHER!! HOPE EVERYBODY HAS A DECENT 2025 MANY LIKED THE "TRUMP WON" BANNER -
By all that is holy get a freaking refund and buy johnsons gun for cash case closed.IN A FEW MORE PAGES WE WILL HAVE BUILT A NEW GUN. MARKED A NEW GUN OR MOLDED A REC. FROM J.B. WELD TO MAKE IT RIGHT. and when it blows up in someone's face years from now. We will hear that tale also. and how quick a attorney got the person with no jaw $5 million bucks.

A attorney letter might move him real quick. and probably very few bucks involved throw the dice you already lost whatever you paid for the gun, getting refund now can save you on a better one. i played the game you are talking about twice in 50 years won both times. but remember you have to have some balls and not back down. i don't think the dealer wants to put out another $5 g on a non winnable gun sold on lies. that is the problem today no hardcore or real old school guys left anymore. so the new players get crapped on by clowns like the dealer. And let them get away with it. DON'T BACK DOWN NAVY GUY... you have a case. Semper -Fi 1968/74

The dealer is a jack off WITH THAT RESPONSE AND HE KNOWS IT. AND SOLD YOU A FREAKING BOAT ANCHOR.GET A REFUND. FROM THE SUPPOSED HONEST DEALER. ONE OF THE WORSE I HAVE SEEN IN OVER 50 PLUS YEARS. He knew exactly what he was selling and offing off to someone. return refund. don't accept a p.o.s. FROM ANYONE.

Owning a Thompson Submachine Gun in Canada?
colt21a replied to katanafred's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
Mr. Canuck great info.And nice items there. Canada has had those issues since 1971 when i was first starting to deal there. around 1980 was trying to get AR-10'S OUT OF THERE. AND SENT IN A FEW GERMAN P38'S. and later to buy the Mp-38's which went no place fast. DID GET SOME FAL PARTS. i exported another P-38 to new Zealand.was always sad about any of it because knew it was never coming back. Blake Stevens WAS A GOOD BUDDY, and did bizz with him. sadly that operation is long gone.very very few places left in the world to deal with. ask anyone who has been into it for over 50 years. they will tell you the same thing. If they don't they never did any bizz at all. anytime i want to feel good about Canada i watch Cagneys Captains of the Skies. IT KEEPS ME IN GOOD SPIRITS. THANKS FOR THAT GREAT POSTING. -

Will be there 25th year. vendor { AND THE LAST}A long deserved retire and get out after over 50 years. it was still a good show last few years. As i seem to always sell out whatever i bring. price it right and have nice new stuff always seems to work. there are very few left there that started 25 years ago, I should know i always look for them. This year should be interesting since 30 days after the election. and phx trying to shut down shows on state property.. hope to see any of the old timers and new timers there. and have a nice 2024 what's left of it. -
Bought a lot of guns from Doug back when. And i am sure i ended up with one of those AK'S HOWEVER FROM IRV KAHN IN OHIO. DID A TRADE WITH IRV. AND THE GUN ARRIVED. AND I SAID IT HADA GREEN TYPE FINISH TO IT. which was not correct. and looked at much More closely. AND IT WAS CUT NEAR THE MAG WELL. no other maker marks but the Chinese and paper said made in China. so called IRV said cut gun. must have better price. he said he bought it from a dealer that way. the gun had no pits or issues and functioned. i said ya know what the $2,000 bucks is fine. Since at that time AK'S you did not find. and low and behold R.J.Perry CALLS AND WORKS out a bad trade deal we had on a Solothurn 20mm AND SENDS ME 4 AK'S ALL BRINGBACKS. I CAN JUST IMAGINE THE COST TODAY... I MOVED THEM ALL OUT FOR AROUND $3,000 EACH.WAY BEFORE 1981,THANKS FOR POSTING THAT STORY. I JUST ADDED A LITTLE TO IT. as i am sure Irv sold me one of those. my first was a bring back. in 1971 and had to buy a mag from Curtis Earl. FOR 50 BUCKS. NOBODY HAD ANY. LET ALONE CRATES OF AMMO.

Johnny from wisc is right. a few collections today have post and pre with it as many as a 100 or more. i had around 45 or so. {and really they are just rentals} you own them as long as you have a license. a RENTAL COLLECTION. HOWEVER MOST TODAY IN CLASS 3 HAS THAT. AND THEY CAN SHOOT THEM A LOT. ALL FUN FOR SURE.JUST THINK YOU COULD HAVE THIS IN SAFE FOR A EASY $2 MILLION

Chicago trunk case. near the ell tracks near Wabash. went to visit over 40 years ago. they did some Chicago police cases. talked to the grand son who was running the place at the time. he told me of a few cases laying around, they tossed and got rid of years before. AND REMEMBERS THEM FOR GUNS. they did a lot of briefcase steamer trunk and instrument stuff, And i asked can you look for sure if anything is left. maybe in basement. He said no time and if anything was in that damp place long rotted or messed up. And i asked would you bother to do another/ he said at that time if they had sample they could. i never pursued anything afterwards, since he told me they had nothing. I am sure he's in his 70's by now and retired. it was a nice place. and of course updated. just a lil bit of history. and nobody took dates on cases. i have owned dozens of them including a original one/ Chicago police case.{ the one in Rogers book from 1982}sold to Erik fox and since sold to Jerry i think. MANY THINGS GET MOVED AROUND MANY DID BUY A LOT OF STUFF FROM ME LIKE A FEW CASES FIVE POUCHES OR BELTS SO MUCH WAS SPREAD AROUND OVER THE DECADES, HARD TO EVER KEEP TRACK. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN ON "THE QUEST"
