1928a1 Deact Most likely to put in jail?
USGIguy posted a topic in Thompson Submachine Gun Message Board
I was shopping for replicas, and I found this piece. I was going to skip on by, then the underside of the receiver caught my eye. Two welds seem to be keeping the SMG bolt from moving. Getting the photos to post, I noted the true dewat artistry, a weld on the trigger control group. Well that settles it, two welds in the receiver and one on the trigger control group, perfect! It does seem strange to me to leave the original parts in the gun, unless it was dewatted so long ago that it didn't matter. This seems like a much more efficient way to deactivate a gun whilst preserving history..... On one hand, not too bad a price compared to a totally messed up gunbroker display piece, The seller ironically, or unironically has a 99.8% satisfaction index. I would definitely only give him one star from my federally provided computer. The reason I posted this was more, how long ago was it that this was "normal" anywhere?

I wanted a stand that would be similar to a vertical katana holder. The craftsman was very meticulous about measurements, load weights, etc. He had never done something like this before and am sure he will never make one again. He even put small "feet" on the bottom in case it ever needed to be perfectly leveled over time.
