I found some pictures in another thread that answered my question. It seems to be correct.

Where are the ejector threads supposed to start in the threaded hole in the 1928A1 receiver? On my display receiver the hole is overbored for about the first half of the hole with about 7 threads at the bottom of it. Is this the same as on an original receiver?

That brings up the question of: How do you clean out the old grease if you need to completely refresh it?

Looking through the pivot hole on the drum, there appears to be no opening for the grease to get into the rotor spring chamber. There is a cross pin in there but no other holes to the inside. How do you get grease in there? Does it get forced between the pivot and the rotor?

I need a grip frame from a 1928. It does not need to be in good shape cosmetically and I dont need internal parts. Thanks.

If anyone is interested.. Soft case

I have a finned semi barrel with a comp that I would like to trade for a smooth barrel if anyone is interested. email me.

IMA sells thompson "nose" demills. They call them receiver fronts. Follow this if it works, otherwise go to their site and search Thompson. http://www.ima-usa.com/advanced_search_res...n_description=1

Any of you SBR convertees have a plain barrel left over you can part with? I have a finned w/comp I will sell or trade.

Does anyone know on what types of machines the original Thompsons were made? I wonder what all the operations were. It must have been very complicated in comparison with todays automated machines. Also why do the old ones seem to be so much better in quality and finish and detail when we have much better machines? How did they do it?

If no one has one they will part with, does anyone know where they can be found? They used to be all over eBay so they must be out there.

They had another Thompson drawing in 2002. http://www.iawca.org/drawings/2002_drawing.htm

I am looking for rear sections that have complete markings. Since I will never be able to afford a whole one I will settle for the marked remainders. I do not want front or center sections.

here is the link. http://www.iawca.org/drawings/thompdrwg.htm

Ive found one. Thanks all.

Anyone have a magazine release for sale, model not important as long as it functions with standard mags. Im not looking for collector grade, just need usable condition. I need a spring also.

It would be interesting to know how they got it to work with such a short bolt,....if indeed it does work.

Does anyone have a nose piece for sale. It needs to have complete barrel threads and feed ramp. Complete with threaded ejector hole would be nice too. Thanks.

Anybody have one you can let go of? Thanks, Ken

No offense taken. I have no plans to undertake the project. It would be too difficult for me, and probably more expensive in the long run than buying a Kahr. I had one of the AO semi's some years back but sold it. Maybe I will get a Kahr M1 if I can scrape together the funds one day.

I did mean that the 80% rcvrs couldnt be finished to FA specs by us regular folks. My thinking was that they make semi 1919 rcvrs with original rcvrs except for a different right side plate with semi bolts and trigger parts, so why not a semi 1928 with a 80% rcvr milled for the semi parts. It would probably require someone to do it and submit to ATFE for plan approval. I am not a machinist, nor do I have any parts to measure to see if it is even a possibility. I was just reading old posts and thinking of possibilities. Thinkin dont cost nothin.

Ok, It is understood by all that they cant be finished to original specs,... but can they be finished to the same specs as the Kahr semi's and assembled with semi bolts? Just a thought. It may not even be possible, aside from the legal issues.

Im very happy with the deal! I waited a while to find one at a price I was willing to pay. Let them rag us....

Mike, I dont know if I should feel like an idiot or lucky since I bought your $200 frame. Make me feel better!
