Frank I. Posted October 15, 2024 Report Share Posted October 15, 2024 The late Mike Free once owned that 30-06 Thompson. He never fired it either. There are pictures of it in all editions of the American Thunder books. Who is the guy in the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHO, YMMV, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP Sarge Posted October 15, 2024 Report Share Posted October 15, 2024 Cool video, that must have been a bear to shoot with such a big bullet. It would be interesting to hear what problems and issues they came across that led them to scrap the project. I imagine that recoil system must be pretty robust. I wouldn't want to have to take the recoil spring out of it. I have a hard enough time if I'm running a Wolf performance Spring on the regular Thompson lol.

Melvin Posted October 16, 2024 Report Share Posted October 16, 2024 I was very lucky to handle and have this 30.06 Thompson in a few of my displays. I have often wondered what happen to it ???. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
