Not sure if this information has been posted elsewhere on this forum but the question I have is what is the best and most reliable way to check the transfer history of and Thompson Navy Overstamp that we have in our inventory. Serial number is 5925 . Got a tip to try a Freedom of Information Act request but have not clue as to how to do that. Any information provided would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

What do y'all run for internals? Do you run the original Colt parts? Or do you run 1928 parts? Or do you use modified parts from PK or others?

Hi group. I am new to Colt Thompson's though I have covetted a Thompson since I went to my eighth grade Washington D.C. trip and saw an FBI agent demonstrate one; unfortunately, being from NJ, i never thought I could own one and always were told they were very expensive. Having moved to Virginia in 2002 (I wish i knew they were only 5k back then), I didn't pursue it. Anyway, I have a savage barrel, (had a 2nd gen cutts compensator on it) marked "S" and wanted to make sure that the barrel that I am comparing it to is a Colt barrel. The "colt" barrel has a mark to line up on the top receiver and has not other markings; i didn't know if my "colt" barrel has rounded enough edges or if the fins were the correct thickness (i read these got smaller as the serial numbers go up?). Were the "lines" only on Colt barrels and receivers? Thanks and correct me if I have made any mistakes.
