Lancer Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I talked to Black Dog this morning. My kit is ordered and will ship today. They also gave a discount on the Puma drum for ordering it with the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photonance Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I spoke with BDM also today, since I had not heard anything, and they said that they will be contacting those on the list within the next day or two. So for those who have not heard anything from them, don't panic, they should contact you soon. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Deerslayer: How close was POI to POA with the ammo you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Great in my gun, and very accurate, at least from plinking in the snow. I haven't fired at a paper target, but I can make a drum load dig one ragged little hole in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Waaaa! I haven't been contacted by anyone. I talked to Merle months back but haven't heard anything yet. I guess I'll wait my turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one contacted me either. I called Black Dog on Mar. 1 and placed my order. My credit card was charged on Mar. 2 but I have not received it yet.

kruuth Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 They ARE shipping now. I got off the phone with Rachel and sure enough I had a notification in my inbox that it had shipped. The first batch of waiting list people went out today so we should all start getting them in the next few days. Waiting patiently for it to show up now. I'm hoping it gets here before the weekend so I can run some ammo through it and build up a matrix of what functions and what doesn't. On another note, don't forget extra mags, etc. They cut me a deal since I bought a bunch of magazines. BDM is just good people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Sergeant Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Add my name to the list who have been contacted and was told the kit will ship tomorrow. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Got the call from BDM today as well, will ship tomorrow, added two extra stick mags so it will come with 4. Now all I need is to get my Thompson back from PK! It is almost done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just4grins Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) I E-mailed Rachel at Blackdog, and she confirmed that I'm on the list and they're ready to send the kit. I'm going to phone her tomorrow. If I understand correctly, this will fit my 1928 WH, with the only potential problem being that the WH chamber may be too tight to fit the adapter. (I'm eventually going to swap this for a USGI Savage barrel). Is this understanding correct? Edited March 11, 2010 by just4grins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtommygunner Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Also rxed confirmation that my kit will ship today with two extra mags. Now to stock up on some 22 long rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docmolar Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I received a e-mail that my kit had shipped on Tues. and I received it today!!!

Lancer Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) I received a e-mail that my kit had shipped on Tues. and I received it today!!! I was just hoping to have it by this weekend as I live in IN. I didn`t get any instructions with the kit? Received mine also. Everything is there and packaged in a very sturdy case. I installed the kit in my gun. Very simple installation. Everything seems to fit quite nicely. The one question I have is about the safety. The safety functions with bolt in the closed position but not in the open, firing position. Maybe Deerslayer will jump in and confirm that this is the way it is designed to work or if there is a problem here. The other thing I noticed is that the extractor seems a bit fragile to my admittedly non-expert eyes. This makes me wonder if an average guy could replace the extractor if the need arises or if it would need to be sent back to Black Dog for replacement. I guess time will tell how durable this part will be. I'm going to try to get out tomorrow to see how it runs.

kruuth Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Mine showed up today as well. Yes, it has a chunk machined out of the bottom. That's fine. Are there instructions for this thing somewhere? Unfortunately I won't be able to test it until next weekend. It looks GREAT. In the meantime here's a pic of the "new" bolt. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z138/mbafernandez/thompson/DSCF2180-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dudley Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I got a call from BDM today and ordered my kit. Extra mags were priced lower with the kit so I ordered 8 more for a total of 10 (2 come with the kit). I also asked about service parts and I ordered an extra firing pin and extractor at a discount with the kit. Kit, 8 extra mags, extra firing pin and extractor about $675.00. CAN'T WAIT!!

dieselten Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) received my kit today. fit perfect in my West Hurley M1. Will not function with the weak spring. Heavy spring will function CCI Minimag but not standard velocity ammo. Probably needs to break in. I will break it in with the heavy spring and CCI Minimag (the most powerful & consistent 22 ammo) This thing really needs a new muzzle nut with 1/2 x 28 threads to use with a suppressor. Does anyone know a name, email, web site, or phone number for a source to get a threaded muzzle nut??? Edited March 12, 2010 by dieselten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfafan Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Just to confirm; this is only for the full-auto TSMGs? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railroader Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Got my kit today, installed it, and noticed that my ejector had to be removed and left out, in order for the bolt to function. I assume this is the norm for this assembly? Also, are the three springs that came with the kit, all of different strengths? And, does this kit need to be tuned by adjusting the spring length? Will find out tomorrow when I give it a test run. Railroader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railroader Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 As Lancer had noticed, the extractor does not appear to be easily replaceable if it breaks, or am I mistaken? Railroader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
