1928 WH does run and runs great

[2 LONG IN THE FOUL]

 

Just want to say thanks to all those who gave advise on getting my west hurly to run as intended.

I am happy (no thrilled) to report that  80 rounds ( 1) 50 rd mag) and (1 30 rd mag ) went through with out a hick cup. 

You'll remember me as the guy who opened up his receiver and found foreign looking parts. All USGI parts were bought and I installed them. The only question I have is the recoil spring I purchased ended up being too long and wouldn't fit so I used the old one. Would it be ok to cut the new one down?? 

Well anyway I really appreciate all your help   Stay Frosty

     It would be best to just get some correct springs. If the spring is too long it is probably

not a Thompson spring. Plus, springs are so cheap vs. the value of the gun there is no reason

to risk it. The correct length of the spring is 11 5/16" +/- 5/16". There are "hi speed" aftermarket

springs out there, but I do not think they are necessary.

I use  Wolff springs and they work well.
