1928 Wh Thompson Range Report
Brickyard replied to hrt4me's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
Couple of items to ponder: You're gonna love that gun once we get it fixed. I have had issues with REM ammo being under powered. Not ever shot in TSMG but have had several run-a-ways in other FA guns. I'd not use it but, that's not you immediate problem. You can get the bullet out of the barrel easily with a dowel or even a cleaning rod that you don't care for much. Save it as a memory of the frustration of spending 10k+ and not being able to shoot the gun without hoping it might work. The problems are probably all that have been listed and then one or two more. Now, go to the top of the page, check members, search for PK., and send him a mail. The man is awsome. He's completely rebuilt my two TSMG's - one was a WH that I couldn't even get to fire a round much less double on semi. Price is what it is. Absolutely fair with no questions. Trust the man. Did I say to trust the man? What I meant to say was trust the man. I don't know the backlog he's dealing with right now? I'm just glad I've got one of my other guns in the line in front of yours (sorry). It'll be a few weeks - probably - that's for PK to tell you. But the point is, why delay? Get your parts kit and send it and the gun out there ASAP. Start the clock. It's such a great gun. Shoot it, enjoy it and learn about it instead of having to bitch at it or "not take it out 'cause you don't really know if it'll run or not". I think I forgot to tell you to trust the man? Welcome to a great group of folks. Good luck and you'll NEVER sell that gun once it runs like it's suppose to. Let us know how it runs when it comes home. We probably will have to say we told you so but you'll never hear us with those ear plugs in .... CJR -
Who's Giong To The Creek?
Brickyard replied to Chopper28's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
Chris, I'll be there on Friday. Shooting in the subgun match. Need to get home that evening/night so I may catch ya walking around. I'm still putting that B-town trip together and we'll talk soon. Travel safely. C.J. Mike, you've found your calling.... http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif -
Very, very nice. Congrats. The man sure does nice work doesn't he? Thanks for the pics. CJR

Slide Assemblies On Gunbroker
Brickyard replied to deerslayer's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
Hey if you can excuse me for being out of the loop here, and, I'm not trying to pick scabs at all...but, Damon I'm guessing between the lines that some of your stuff has been historically outsourced and that relationship is no longer in force?? If I could ask, whom are you currently working with - if anyone? Just curious. I've kinda kept up with parts availability, etc., etc., etc. Thanks. C.J. -
Finally My Wh Is Working
Brickyard replied to zenithius's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
Congrats on the feeding frenzie. They'll also sleep well after a long day of playing. If the problems persist (not to be negitive - but I'll bet they will) please send the gun to PK on these boards. The gun you will receive back will NEVER fail to fire again. OK, maybe once. He's done two of mine and I'll bet I've had 5,000 rounds through the both combined and could count on one hand the number of feeding or firing problems. Enjoy the new toy !! -
PK knows how to bet a winner. Yep JT, all Berry's. 230gr. .45 and 124gr. 9mm

PK turned me on to Berry's. Thousands of transactions (so to speak) have taken place since that date. All my 9's and 45's. Good prople to work with.

Range Report - Westy M1
Brickyard replied to Brickyard's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
Mike, That's the plan. I'm working on it. 21, I know - kinda limp. I may take it back out and "finish" it. -
Well, Saturday and Sunday we warmed this little baby up. If anyone were to ask if the gun runs well after PK has had his way with it ... my only answer would be DUH !!! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Honest; Exactly as advertised. Runs extremely well and I'm very pleased. Took a monment to create a new poster for the inside of the gun closet and thought it appropriate to share the fine work the Westy did. Everyone take care and thanks for the kind comments about the new family member. C.J. http://www.fototime.com/3E67423F72E6A32/standard.jpg

Look What Santa Brought !
Brickyard replied to Brickyard's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
RHTG; OK, OK. I'll be there but, your wife's the one that won the kitty! $148 was it not? That should keep Mike going for a few minutes. Take care. -
Well, Magoo, you’ve done it again ! Please take a gander at some pics of the new toy that Santa delivered this morning not from the great North Pole, but the rather from the workshop of – whom else but – PK! This little pup, I picked up covered in its own NIB grease. However, little did I know that the cute little critter was really a POS in Tommy drag. It wouldn’t even feed a round much less fire one. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif Many have heard the tale. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif So, into the big brown box it went and look at what the master can do! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/tongue.gif Can’t begin to say how satisfied and pleased I am with Paul’s work and professionalism. Tomorrow, I’m gonna shoot the hell out of it. In fact, Sunday too. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif Thanks again Paul – great, great job.

50/50 Drawing At Tca Show
Brickyard replied to Phil Askew's topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
Still the same odds for winning? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif I mean, since you're the one picking the tickets ... http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif See ya Friday, C.J. -
Think I've found one. If it's no good I may post again. Otherwise, thanks for reading.

I've got a Westy M1 project currently being cut on at PK's. Looks like the frame is ... less than it should be. Who'd a thunk it? Anyway, I would like to find a good to very good GI frame to replace the poop on the gun now. Anyone out there with a good parts kit willing to spare the frame - no internals or wood req'd. Please either post or shoot me a mail directly. Really appreciate any help anyone could give. Thanks. C.J.

Hey, that would be great ! I've still got the one from 2 years ago. Thanks. Brickyard
