emmagee1917 Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 The Reising was a fitted gun , It was not made to interchangeable specs . When Col. Edson found this out he took steps to prevent further mixing . When a new batch of guns arrived, he had the rest tossed . They were still front line issue until sufficient Thompsons became available .Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
