It's a copy of a copy of an original! Izzy parts, US made side plate. I think early '80s manuf. In .308 now, spare barrel, spade grips, feeds links or belts. It was assembled by DLO though, and it takes a beating well. There is something about sending 250 rds of .308 down range and leaving all your brass in a nice neat pile. Still taking offers/insults! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif

Sorry, I opted for a DLO 1919A4 when it came to the "period gun" of the time. Yes, it's NFA, but no, it's not a Thompson. Sometimes I wish I had bought one when I was in the buyin' mode, there were many about for reasonable sums. However, I had the belt-fed bug at the same time, as well as some significant-other influence. Seen "Dr. Strangelove"? I do need a golf bag... I suppose I just take exception to people who generalize as a whole. It was nice to see a plug for my services, but it wasn't so nice to see those services take a beating immediately afterwards. I appreciate John's lack of desire to conduct this debate outside of IRC. Again, I just don't like generalizations. IRC is a good part of my life (bleh) at times, and sometimes it needs defendin'. I think it works wonders for the social aspect of the Internet, but it can suck just as bad as e-mail if you don't work at it. Enough, this is about Thompsons! My bad. Someone wanna trade for the DLO? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif Gotta be a Colt...

I must respond because the poster of the IRC info gave me this link. I take offense, sir, to your name calling. I am the administrator of cornbread.com, and one of the two server admins on irc.wasteland.org. For someone who hasn't been to our network and our channel, you have a lot to say. SPAM filled? Never once in many years have we seen a spam-bot. I count nearly 30 clients connected nightly in #guns right now that are all gun owners. One bot, mine, and it's there for !seen functions mostly. No SPAM, unless you consider the discussions that take place SPAM. The design merits and inspiration of the mp44 comes to mind as a recent topic. Junk channel? What qualifies a channel as something worth more than junk? Is it the number of clients? The number of chatters at one time? The ability/inability to maintain a decent conversation 24/7? I suppose your experience leads you to calling EFNet or Undernet, possibly even DALnet channels junk by default, which I wouldn't argue with. However, we created this network eight years years ago with the explicit intention of avoiding that environment. Having not joined our channel or network, and having absolutely no point of reference for the group of people you just insulted, you might just stick to "I don't want to" rather than projecting insults and falsehoods concerning your reasons. If you want a REAL challenge, try exposing yourself to the open discourse of several well-educated gun owners. There are more than one Thompson owner in #guns on irc.wasteland.org, and I dare say there are some that know quite a bit more than the average fellow. I'm sure they can give you a run for your money all day long. However, I realize this was originally a challenge to another user. I can moderate a discussion if you wish, in #guns, that would have you two an entirely captive audience. No SPAM or junk there either, unless the debating parties can't produce material worth reading. Of course, you can also stick to your voice ideas. Nothing wrong with that.
