PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST Bid is @ $350 Pictures Below So I finally have completed loader No. 100. Its been a 4 year road to get to this point and its been extremely fun to make all of these and talk with all of you. I have made these in several species of Maple, Walnut, Cherry and Cocobolo. I wanted to make this one different than any other and I think I've accomplished that goal. This one is made of Leopardwood inlaid with Ebony in the compensator. The bullet markers on top are the original Aut-Ord-Co shape hand inlaid with Birdseye Maple. The Side inlays are the later Thompson Bullet hand shaped and inlaid in Birdseye Maple and further inlaid with Ebony lettering of "NO 100" Showing that you have a one of a kind loader. Also burned into the bottom is my logo the year and No 100. AUCTION DETAILS So right off I will say that 15% of proceeds from this auction will go straight to the boards as a donation.

Hey guys, my first post here. I know the Kahr Arms semi auto Thompsons aren't really considered machine guns, for obvious reasons, but I ran into an issue with my brand new purchase and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this. It's very minor, and my gun is still usable, but the magazine release catch appears to get stuck in the upward position when I push it up to release a magazine. What seems to happen, is that when I push the lever all the way up, the pin that is attached to this lever pops out of the magazine well hole the tiniest bit, like 1/16th of an inch. When I insert a magazine, instead of clicking in like it should, I have to insert it, then push down on the lever so it snaps back into place. I'll attach a couple pictures to show what I mean. http://i.imgur.com/ZNEqSz7.jpg This is the lever "stuck" in the upward position. http://i.imgur.com/O6sx4gd.jpg And this is the best picture I could take of the pin popping out of the magwell hole. Should I just replace the part, or is it supposed to do this, or is there something I'm missing?

I have 1 new in the brown oil paper for sale 1 grease gun mag. $ 26. shipped. Got it with some thmopson mags. Don't have a greaser This oked by David. Thanks, Jim

I am fairly new to the world of Thompson’s but have always wanted one after reading many books and knowing my Grandfather’s involvement in WWII. A few weeks ago my local FFL came across an old guy wanting to liquidate some things. I was told he had a few WWII 30 caliber bags as well as two (2) what he was told old WWII Thompson stick magazine (I have attached pictures). He kept one and had the FFL consign the other. It looked to cool to pass up and it appeared to be legit, so I thought what the heck and bought it, if nothing else if would look good and be a great conversation starter. It is tightly wrapped in some type of cloth/burlap that has been covered in what appears to be cosmoline or some other type of waxy grease, and banded with two straps. The straps/bands I liken to what we see in today's shipping world, they are not metal. It is the right length for a 30 round mag and if you run your fingers around the mag profile you can feel many of the identifying characteristics of the Thompson mag. I do not want to unwrap the mag as I am sure this will affect both collectability and any value it may have. Loosely attached to the mag is a small label, typed on a small piece of paper and tucked under the bands is the following (the last part I cannot make out as it is tucked under the strap and I am afraid I will tear the label): STK No. A032-65-35506 NOMEN. MAGAZINE QUANTITY EA 1 PROCESSED FOD DATE 15 Dec ____ If anyone can provide any information on this it would be truly appreciated. Is there any value to the vintage Thompson aficionado crowd or are these desired by collectors. Because I have been unable to locate anything associated with this item including an internet search of the stock number, I am fairly certain there are not a lot of these around? Can anyone confirm? Thanks in advance.
