Hi everyone, I have a 1927A1 from Kahr arms Im looking to sell. The gun is about a year old and has had just about every modification possible done by Dan. Im selling it in hopes of moving into a full auto. Heres a list of modifications - Bolt hold open - GI pivot plate - 1/2 grip mount installed - authentic Lyman installed and riveted - Dan Block furniture, horizontal and vert grip - 10.5 green mountain barrel installed - GI mag modification - Easy take down milling -1928 style engravings - surplus oil bottle in stock - detachable stock milled Probably more that Im forgetting. The gun is on a form one, so itd have to form 4 to you. Id include a few GI stick mags (1 20, 2 30rnd) 1 50rnd drum, a cleaning rod, sling, horizontal and vertical grips, Kahr hard case, and 1K rnds of .45 ACP 230Gr brass. Open to reasonable offers, and I understand I probably wont get what I have into this gun. Im flexible. Just send me a message.

I received a packet of FOIA request paper that contained copies of a Form 4539 related to the transfer of some unserviceable NFA curios. Aside from the obvious retaction in full of some private information. It listed the SNs, model, classification, etc. How it was deactivated, the usual barrel plugged with steel weld and barrel welded to the receiver. They were purchased from an estate in CALIFORNIA. Signed and approved after the first transfer after they were registered in the NFRTR Pre-68 and one during the Amnesty period. It is my understanding that this form accompanied and CLEO sign off at one time. Where as stipulating that the transferee is not in violation of State and local law. . Especially in States like CA. Unserviceable NFA curios in CA followed the Federal statues as the State does not have a policy. They have a weasel word serviceable that is not even in of by itself has no definition. Other than vague it is a tactic the CADOJ can attempt to keep them if for some reason they ended up with them. We purchased them in 2006... I know of several people that had their businesses raided because they had these items on display. Legally registered of course. An information from some of guys that have been around the last 30-40 years would be appreciated. Ill try and attach it... Thanks, DavidPpsh 41 SN K5623.pdfPpsh 41 SN K5623.pdf

This isn't technically Thompson related, so feel free to move this to another forum as needed. I just hope that other people might find it helpful. I recently moved from one city to another within the same county of the same state, and I took my 1927A1 SBR (and .45 suppressor) with me. Prior to moving, I found conflicting information online regarding what kind of permission/notification is required by/to the ATF for an *intrastate* address change, ranging from doing nothing at all, to submitting form 5320.20 prior to moving, to submitting this form after the items have already been moved. I opted to go the safest route and submit the form prior to moving the items; however, I did not know the preferred/recommended amount of time in advance to do so. On Sunday, March 17th, I filled out form 5320.20 stating that the "dates in transit" will be March 24th-25th. I then printed, signed, scanned, and emailed the form to the ATF. Today, March 25th, I received a secure email back from the ATF with the signed/approved form, dated March 24th. So it would seem that as little as one week is an acceptable amount of time in advance to submit the form and still get it approved, though I suspect they would prefer more time than that. Part of the problem is that form 5320.20 is entitled "Application to Transport Interstate or to Temporarily Export Certain NFA Firearms", yet they want you to use this form for permanent *intrastate* address changes too. Heaven forbid they create a new form just for that purpose and reduce the confusion.

Sandman strikes again and brings us another awesome review. Last time it was the 1921 vs 1928 thompson this time its his UD42 vs the mp40. Enjoy!

So I shot my '28 and my m1 a ton the other weekend to total of 500 rds in one range session alternating guns. I gotta say the '28 was wayyyyy smoother to the point where I am mildly disappointed in owning my m1, kinda wanna sell it to buy a different MG. My '28 has a repro 1921a (no compensator) barrel so the barrels are the same with the exception of the fins, so i feel it's a pretty fair comparison. The m1 just felt choppier and I could feel it "bottoming out" against the back of the receiver, saving grace for the m1 the sights are way better but to me that's it for now. Anyone else who owns/shot both extensively feel the same away about the recoil impulse? Not talking about historical significance, rate of fire, blah blah blah
