Roland the Thompsongunner Posted March 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 It’s a wire cutter. It clamps to the front of the gun so you place it against the wire in the slot and fire a round and it breaks the barb wire. I have pics at home of them in period pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the trap door in the butstock for ? Like the one in Tommy’s was for the oiler and such ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot speak for all variants but there is a door and a storage area in the buttstock of Russian manufactured PPSH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland the Thompsongunner Posted April 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Not 100 percent sure but I would think at least the cleaning rod went in there. All my buttstocks have the hole for storage. I have yugo, polish and Soviet ones in my collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'm no PPSH expert, but I've seen many and none of the war ones had a trap door. The russians were way too desperate to include an additional mfg process in the production. The two I have owned were 44 and 45, both flat plate buttstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland the Thompsongunner Posted April 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 I would love to see a picture of one without the trap door as I have not come across any like that. Post a pic if you get time thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post a pic if you get time thanks Sir! My most humble apologies. I pulled my PPSH out (Russian, 1945) and viewed a friends' PPSH (Russian 1944) and both have the butt plate with accessory hatch. I can't believe I thought otherwise.... and stand corrected. I must be getting old...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the butt plate with the storage compartment. Also, I picked up a couple of these muzzle covers from Gun Parts Corp: Muzzle Cover, Black Plastic at GPC I bought more than one after the first one split after being on the gun a few years.
