need help with a Black Dog Machine 1928 22 conversion kit. Trying to take it out of TSMG 1928AC. There appear to be no manuals left on the internet. I believe the barrel comes thru the action with rubber gaskets to protect the original barrel and is secured with a barrel sleeve coming from the muzzle end, threading into the conversion barrel, keeping in place with tension from the muzzle. Barrel sleeve is out but the conversion barrel does not want to release. I did remove the stock ejector on the 1928 as I recall the conversion barrel indexes on the ejector Don't have a .45 caliber dowel handy, but may be a option. Lubed the conversion barrel and came in to type my question out. Suggestions? what next?

GI Jive, you may have resolved this some time ago, but here are some COMBAT! photos of Vic Morrow with a wooden TSMG. Yes black high gloss paint will reflect light. Vic Morrow with real TSMG. Note the detail of the mag, housing and lettering on TSMG. Another "real" TSMG photo. Likewise note mag housing, and holes in mags. Third "real" TSMG. In this photo, look at detail of Magazine, Housing, and sling swivel, Now the infamous Wooden TSMG. Looks like a fake "wooden" reciever andl lower. Note the sling swivel placement, and type. Not original, nor in correct location. Note the Magazine. square block of wood with no detail. no witness holes in mag. Real TSMG again Wooden TSMG with very obvious misplaced ejection port. Y'all may have nailed this before, but here are some good shots that should confirm the "gun is too heavy" lore... S/Fi, Sandman1957

An old photo from the TCA Western Shoot about about 2007-2010. If I recall it was in Oatman AZ. Some of you might know some of the attendees... David

Hello everyone, I was looking to ease my mind on a particular TSMG that I was looking to add to my collection. I am more of a shotgun collector, but this item caught my attention, that would make a good candidate to add to my collection. There were a few things that I wasn't convinced about, but after my pending membership was approved, I was able to find more information on the forum. Now only one question remains. If you look at the left side of the receiver, it states the "model of 1928". The thing that I noticed is that the part "of 1928" is recessed. It almost looks like part of the model year was milled down to add another designation. Is this common in other firearms, or was the designation rolled in with to much force? This may be a stupid question, but hey, my knowledge is more with the shotguns. As you can see in the pictures, further markings are similar to the guns that have been discussed before within the same 41.000 range of serial numbers. I forgot to take more pictures than the ones attached.
