RoscoeTurner Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 If you wish to sell items on the forum you must meet the criteria below otherwise your post will be removed from public view. "While the boards are mainly intended for information exchange, there are instances when an individual may wish to post something for sale to other collectors on the individual forums. If you wish to post an item for sale, you must be at least listed be a “RKI Member.” You may also post items for sale if you are listed as a “Long Time RKI Member,” “Respected Member,” “Technical Expert,” “Industry Expert,” or if you are a Board Moderator. Only post items you actually have in your possession – do not post future expected items that have not been physically received yet. If you purchase something listed on the boards, you assume all risks, so understand the seller's terms of sale, return policies, conditions, type of payments and timeframe of delivery prior to your transaction. It is BEST if you have such details in writing, via letter, signed fax or e-mail. Again, All NFA Rules apply, and these boards are NOT primarily market boards. How do I become an “RKI Member?” (“RKI” stands for “Reasonably Knowledgeable Individual”) There is no pre-set method of attainment, but if you frequent the board, and post regularly, or are an active member of one of the Thompson collector clubs who is known to the moderating team, you will gain such a listing next to your board name in good time." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inertord Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) What about wanted to buy posts by members with less than RKI Status and limited to no board history? WTB posts should be the same as WTS Requirements? Edited January 17, 2023 by inertord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great question! How does Want to Buy "WTB" work. I for one enjoy the Forums greatly and do not want to run afoul of the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reprobate Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I hope I'm not violating any policies here. I'm a "newbie" member (but an old man), and I've created a tool for re-assembling my 1921 using 1928 guts (to preserve the valuable 1921 guts). When I was younger I could "man-handle" the recoil spring onto the pilot guide, but as I get older I find it next to impossible. Being a retired engineer, I created a "jig" that makes loading the later 1928 spring and guide into the 1921 Thompson (which doesn't have the removable "buffer" plate) much, much easier. Maybe others have come up with better solutions. But mine works great, and spares my fingers and any cuss-words during reassembly. I'd be happy to send an example jig to a senior member for evaluation, if that is a way of sidestepping protocol on exhibiting a solution directly. My motivation here is not monetary return, just a desire to give fellow 1921 owners, who shoot their guns the way I do, a solution to the reassembly problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly I do not speak for the Forum moderation nor the rules, however this type of post serves the interest of Forum members and IMHO would pass the test of posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalbert Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Please contact me through the PM feature for any specific requests. As I have always stated, the purpose of this forum is information, and it is not primarily a sales forum, though sometimes I allow sales posts, and if you are an RKI member, you are allowed to post items for sale. We have a whole other website for posting items for sale (Sturmgewehr.com), which helps to keep Machinegunboards.com running. It's very expensive to maintain websites like this.
