elvis3006 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Is it common for the M1 and M1A1 Thompson butt stocks to develop stress cracks where the stock meets the lower frame ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yes. It was a problem on the 28 as well. The Brits used a host of repair tactics on their guns before the AOC stock reenforcing bolts were deployed. Some of the late M1A1s left the factory with them.

I have several used M1 M1A1 butt stocks and most have these cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndArmored Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 The reverse is also true. Butt cracks can cause stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
