Larryp44 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Hello Gentlemen, I just acquired this Auto Ordnance 1927A1 made in MA. I’m looking to SBR really soon. It has a pinned not threaded Cutts. Where can I source a finned 10.5” barrel. Numrich has one but for a threaded Cutts… anybody got one laying around or any extras. I just a 50rd drum… thanks gentlemen, Larry P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeTimmy Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Thompsonbarrels dot com may still do them with fins. He did a fine job on mine. Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryp44 Posted February 3 Author Report Share Posted February 3 Also, it’s a T5 aluminum alloy upper. Has anyone had problems with the T5 uppers…. My other M1A1 Thompson SBR is an early/ mid 1990s made with steel upper…. Wow, there is a very noticeable difference in weight!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeTimmy Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Mine has an aluminum upper. Yeah they are lighter. I didn’t set out for the aluminum, it was what was available at a decent price point. I do wonder if the EZ pull springs will contribute to heavier long term wear/damage as the bolt beats the sh1t out of the aluminum. Also, when Dan Block redid mine, he recommended against including the “quick change” barrel modification on an aluminum receiver gun due to concerns with the barrel threads in the receiver “giving” over repeated barrel changes. I haven’t noticed any problems so far, but i havent shot it a ton either. I decided the heck with it, shoot it and enjoy it, my son may wear it out after he inherits it someday. Nice looking M1 there as well. Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryp44 Posted February 3 Author Report Share Posted February 3 What is the EZ pull springs? I noticed it’s not nearly as hard to pull back than my M1a1…. Can I replace the ones for the EZ pull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HistorianInProgress Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 EZ pull springs are replacement recoil and firing pin springs which are easier to compress than the factory springs. Simple installation of removing your existing springs and reassembling the rifle with the EZ springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve45 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Just recently I bought a 10.5" square finned 1928A-1 barrel from APEX to do my SBR. I got my tax stamp in 2 weeks. They are priced at $159.00. It is a very nice piece that is threaded for a CUTTS. Most other barrels I found are priced well over $200.00. Steve45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
