darrylta Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Well, to date I've always been a Thompson guy and still will be, but I've decided to expand my collection a little and went with this M50. The only thing I need to buy to complete the package is an original sling, does anyone have any leads on one? Also besides firing pins what other spare parts should I have on hand? Thanks, Darryl Edited January 27, 2010 by darrylta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODS9091 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I have some spare parts for sale here. About the only part I have ever had fail on me was the retracting spring guide. But firing pins are a common problem, and get a spring set from Wolff springs. If you see anything you need in my parts list just let me know..

darrylta Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Some great sources guys, appreciate the help. I guess I'll watch out for the sling on Ebay and Gun Broker. Thanks, darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalbert Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Darrylta, Very, very nice Reising and accessories. Is the Fed Labs sticker intact on the outside of the case? David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com David, The M50 is a first year commercial gun, ser.#7054 delivered to the Pittsburgh PD on 12/26/1941. The case does not have a sticker and needs a little work on the interior as in a loose block and velvet lining. Should be no problem to fix it. I'll be the third owner and I'm pretty pleased on the purchase. My only concern now is getting ribbed by my buddies about the Marines trashing them in WWII. I'm also looking for an original sling. I checked out your pinned topics so I don't get burned on it :-) -Darryl Edited January 27, 2010 by darrylta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye_Joe Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) I think I bought the last two sets of Reising parts from dealershowroom.com. I checked and only found carbine slings were used on Reisings. I found a nice new "C" tipped one in light khaki. Maybe someone else knows of another sling but I didn't find any record of it.

I found a WWII Austrian leather M1 carbine sling that I bought. It's not correct, but looks right on a PD gun and has the hole/button connection on it. It will do the job.

GUNGUY45 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I think I bought the last two sets of Reising parts from dealershowroom.com. I think that they still have action bars, the photo, with a price is still up. They've got about the best price on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrylta Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I think the only items I'm going to replace now is the springs, with a Wolff kit and the firing pin. What's your opinion on Christie's titanium firing pin, is it worth $50? -Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levallois Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Beautiful Model 50! As far as Christie's firing pins - it was worth the price to me given what I spent on my model 50. You should submit your Reising info to the Reising database. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrylta Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I would if I had it, it's in the transfer Abyss. Probably about 8 months, give or take a month!?!?!? -Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levallois Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 8 months???? Where's this thing coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrylta Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 8 months???? Where's this thing coming from? Just starting the transfer, haven't even got finger printed yet. It takes 3 months for Maryland LE and 5 months for ATF based on my 1921ac purchase on 3/01/09. You would think that if a person has multiple NFA weapons the process would be shorter, it's not. -Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
