Taliaferro Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I hope they checked the guns before hammering on the bolt face to see if they were unloaded. BOOM Tracie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyealx Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Finally a legit gun restoration on YouTube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 At first I thought this was one of those fake restorations but,... this iguy is the real deal. He even has a video on fake restorations. Those Thompsons were in rough shape. Thank you Signal_4 for posting this. Chappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpbcps Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 (edited) Early 1928, New York Address with a no hole magazine catch. The XX mag he removed from the M1A1 trigger frame, with the aid of the hammer, had soldered witness holes, indicating it had seen service with British / Commonwealth forces. It is amazing he got the M1A1 to fire again. Edited March 29 by rpbcps Typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
