michael Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Just finished a two year ordeal to get this M1 transferred to me. After all that I wanted to share with like minded folks... I think the stock repairs are interesting... Let me know what everyone thinks. Thanks for looking http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/me55566/overall.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/me55566/leftfront.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/me55566/leftrear.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/me55566/proof1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/me55566/proof2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/me55566/rightrear.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/me55566/stockrepair.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/me55566/stockrepair2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/me55566/underside2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/me55566/underside.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Two years?! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif Sorry it took so long, but it looks like a nice sub-gun. And it has matching numbers. Enjoy it! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif Norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevengunner Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Mike, Whew ... 2 years. Did you receive this transfer via a C&R license? The inlay on the buttstock is a repair that the British armorers typically put in to fill the gap after moving the sling swivel to the top of the stock. The corrogated shims are a creative way to reinforce cracks in the wood - they are well done and shaped to follow the contours of the stock / grip. Congrats on your new tommy gun!!

Norm Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Any history on it? It looks like it has seen a lot of action. I wish my Tommy had some war history. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif Congrats again on the gun.

deerslayer Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Great pictures of a fine gun, thanks for sharing. Interesting to see the stock reinforcement on the front of the butt stock. If it could only talk. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffen Und Bier Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 It's all British. Brit proofs on the receiver and bolt as well as Brit swivel mods to the wood. It's so....you know....British! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks, everyone. A C&R sten was also in the deal, I'll get around to photographing it and post some photos sooner or later. The sten also looks to have some history, it actually has a fading camo pattern paint job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
