You guys wailed and nashed your teeth a year or two ago when I sold the first Colt for 6k. You can call me the Colt Thompson terminator if you want cuz' I'm on the hunt and I've got the smell of melting iron-ore in my nostrils! It's all about making money for me boys! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/cool.gif Got to keep shoes on my kids you know! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif

You guys are too sensitive. Yeah, someone should enforce some rules on flaming others posts. I didn't ask for opinions and abusing us Washingtonians by calling us yuppies, well that's just shows "bad attitude" towards people in the Evergreen State. When Philasteen "murdered" his restricted Colt I didn't read anything from the peanut gallery(full auto 45) on how Philasteen should give it to a museum. Some of you guys act like it's a moral wrong-doing to cut-up some metal and make money on it. I swear, to some of you guys it's like Idol worship! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif

I'm not ready to sell off the receiver parts just yet.

If I wanted your opinion I'd bitch-slap it out of you.

It's restricted, and must be cut up.

I'm parting out a Colt 1921AC #6321.

QUOTE (junglewalk @ Jan 18 2007, 10:32 PM) We had two Grease guns on each M-48A3 tank in my unit (1/1 Cav) in Viet Nam. They were good for us tankers to grab if we had to dismount and run around in the patties or hard ground where the villages were.....Not good for ranges over 60-70 yards or so. ...The biggest problem were the magazines and storage of ammo in the mags for any length of time(1-2 weeks) Once I needed to fire the Grease gun in a dicie spot , and after a few rounds, the rest of the ammo was not being pushed up to the bolt!!.....I had to shake the gun up & down, to get the spring & ammo to jump up; The old timers there had already come up with the solution, by putting two mag springs into one mag....Less bullets in the mag, but at least you were sure it would feed the breech area. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif http://www.hunt101.com/img/466582.jpg I've had many brand new in the wrap grease gun magazines. They were either parkerized or very nicely blued. The parkerized ones were so rough inside(from the parkerizing) that the rounds would drag on their way up during firing. The blued mags have never given me any problems whatsoever. After two or three loadings and unloadings with the parkerized mags they work just fine(roughness in mag body smoothes out). Were the mags you used in Viet Nam parkerized?

I dropped the price to $11,500

You might have noticed from the pictures, I like suppressing them! http://www.hunt101.com/img/392378.JPGhttp://www.hunt101.com/img/402328.JPG

http://www.sturmgewehr.com/webBBS/nfa4sale....cgi?read=82703 This is a reweld done by John Norrell of Norrell Manufacturing(the guy that did the Ruger 10/22 registered trigger packs). The ATF Form 3 shows it as being made by Winchester and there are no manufacturing markings on it other than the original Winchester markings. It was done in the early to mid 1980's. It was then sent off to Iver Johnson to be re-heat treated and Rockwell Hardness tested. As you can see from the pictures it was very well done. The charging handle/op-rod moves very smoothly and does not/will not come out of the track like some rewelds can do. It comes with everything shown in the accesory picture. The bipod is original with US markings. 1 magazine has no markings on it and the others are marked "W", "HR-R", "OM", "BRW B2", "BRW S-1" . I am asking $13,000 or best offer. I'll take lower valued pre-sample and fully-transferable machine guns in partial trade.

Dealer gave $25,000 trade-in allowance?! That sounds pretty darn generous to me!

Numerous M1's, M1A1's and a couple '28A1's between 30 and 34 yrs. of age. Colt US Navy, barely 35 and a Colt '21 at 36(just a couple three weeks ago http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif )

QUOTE (cavediver @ May 3 2006, 11:57 PM)Ill probably get rid of the Nickle pate and go for a good parked finish sooner or later. I have been looking to buy a parked Thompson. Does gemtech make a can for the M3? Thanks for the pics and info. No, gemtech doesn't make a can for the grease gun, if they did it would probably be much quieter than my TL Guns suppressors! That UMP can is really quiet! I'm amazed, especially for it's rather small O.D. Brass Cartridge Inc. took over much of the TL Guns suppressor line, Mike(Brass Cartridge owner) would be the one to contact. He's just in the next state south of me near Albany. Oregon. By the way, the Albany Oregon Machine Gun Shoot is the 20th and 21st of this month, there will be plenty of machine guns to rent including a Geniune, all original model 1921 Colt Thompson(I don't know of anyone that rents these anymore). $50 per 50 round drum.

I've got a couple of TL Guns integral suppressors on two of my M3A1's, quieter than an MP5SD. If you think the Grease Gun is controllable with the regular barrel on it, you've got to try it suppressed! http://www.hunt101.com/img/392378.JPG Oh and here's what your gun would look like suppressed(if it weren't nickled/chromed) http://www.hunt101.com/img/402328.JPG Speaking of suppressed 45's, here's the new Gemtech UMP can..... http://www.hunt101.com/img/402330.JPG Uh-oh, I'd better post a picture of a Thompson so I don't "get the boot" for going off topic..... http://www.hunt101.com/img/399974.JPG

I've got a pile of Thompsons but I'd rather take a grease gun out of my smaller M3A1 pile and go shootin'! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Looks almost as nice as the one I sold almost a year ago for $19,500 but mine was more rare since it was an M1! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif I hope he gets his asking price! http://www.hunt101.com/img/399974.JPG

It's probably worth more than 15k. Having mismatched upper/lower means it has been rebuilt at least once in it's life(or the department had more than one and mismatched lowers). If it had never been rebuilt you could probably get closer to 20,000 for it right now. 30 rounders are all worth about the same, no matter who makes them.

Thank you. Yes, good eye! It is a TL Guns suppressor. I've got two TL Guns M3 grease gun silencers. They are the best looking and performing Grease Gun suppressors I've seen. They weren't quite as quiet when I got them from TL, they didn't put anything around the ported barrel area, it was just an open chamber. When fired it would make a high pitched "ping" noise out of the chamber. I bought some really fine stainless steel mesh, unscrewed the suppressor body from the barrel and wrapped the ported barrel several times with the mesh. Now all you really hear is the bolt slapping forward when it chambers a round. I have a mpeg video I'd like to post but I don't think that's do-able on this site. P.S. Mike with Brass Cartridge out of Oregon has taken over production of some of the TL Guns suppressor line, if you want one you might want to contact him.

I tried to catch the fire coming out of the barrel but the frames must have missed it. Romanian ammo. http://www.hunt101.com/img/392383.JPGhttp://www.hunt101.com/img/392381.JPG

http://www.hunt101.com/img/392378.JPGI was able to set the camera up to snap 16 frames in less than a second and then pick the frame I liked best. http://www.hunt101.com/img/392376.JPG The camera also has a handy self-timer for shooting angles you don't want a person standing at!

QUOTE (Norm @ Apr 1 2006, 04:00 PM)QUOTE I don't think I will ever be able to bring myself around to pay that much for a drum, no matter the story. I get tickled enough with a 50 round dump. I know what you mean. And the thought of how much money (in ammo) it takes to dump 100 rounds at once makes my a$$ pucker! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif Norm Norm, if you can't afford $20 for 100 rounds of 45acp; you can't afford a TSMG anyway, so what's your point?

Lots of Thompson action in this movie, all with 50 round drums too. Killing raptors in single short bursts! Popping big ugly cockroaches that are covering their human victims head to toe without harming the poor guy while he's hopping around! Those Thompson's are amazing! If those unfortunate souls in "Jurassic Park" would have had some of these fine weapons they would have had no problem surviving! In the first Thompson scene it shows a quick flash of about 10 or 15 Thompsons neatly set in a case under a mattress, I freeze-framed it and noticed most were dummy guns but 3 or 4 looked to be live guns and another looked to have a 1928 Navy actuator in it. They also had Mausers and 1917 Enfields. The Biplanes that they were using had Lewis guns in the back and what appeared to be dual .30cal. 1919's up front. It took them a few hundred rounds but they did get the big beast to take the plunge off the Empire State Building in the end.

No!! I bought my U.S. Navy 1928 to sell since I'm one of those GREEDY DEALERS!!! then decided that if I could afford to keep it I'd hold on to it. Well, I've been able to afford it and my investment has grown about 10k from what I would have made if I would have sold it at that time. I don't shoot it, I take it out of the safe every month or so and re-oil it, wipe it and put it away. I've got a restricted 1921 coming though, that I will shoot that is not as nice as my '28. I don't like the slower speed of the '28 anyway, they seem kind of clunky at the lower rate of fire.

How do you tell the difference between and original Colt horizontal fore end and a WWII fore end? Is there any markings on the original Colt that are not on the WII ones?
