signal_4 Posted July 11, 2024 Report Share Posted July 11, 2024 (edited) I follow these guys on FB. Looks like they acquired a nice shipment of Thompsons that will be modified to SA. It’s nice to know that these WW2 guns are still out there…at least overseas Edited July 11, 2024 by signal_4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk1992 Posted July 11, 2024 Report Share Posted July 11, 2024 I'm from Italy and I'm the owner of one of these M1A1 models, Poland is a great country for firearms enthusiasts 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems stupid that you can’t even though it’s already modified and in the end no different, in principle, (but better originality and quality) than one of the kits here that’s been rewelded and converted.

Yess I understand, I really don't like the US "kit" where the receivers are cutted and must be rewelded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the receivers, the barrels get torched as well. Once you cut that barrel thru the chamber, middle and behind the front sight, there is nothing left but scrap. European spec deactivation is very destructive now too. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard As I know in your some states parts like bolts and barrels are free sale, here are considered main parts and you must tu have the proper license to buy it. About the deactivations, depend where you live in Europe, here in Italy are free sale 18+, you can have old specs deactivations where there are deactivated only barrels and bolts, all movable mechanism parts etc...

mbc230 Posted July 29, 2024 Report Share Posted July 29, 2024 At least in Poland and Italy (Maybe elsewhere in Europe) you are free to turn the full autos to semi-auto and not destroy the originality of the actual Sub Gun itself. I wish we could do that here in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
