indochinavet Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hi, Have anyone ever seen one of these shortened 1928?! Will the Thompson shortened that much be reliable? looks like these were used by Brazilian bodyguards to defend the president, I wonder if these were able to fire for real or..

Got Uzi Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Talk about the original PDW!!! I can't imagine the shorter barrel having any issues with reliability. The concept is sound but man that would get awful heavy fast compared to an Uzi or MP5 (depending on what era these were used obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StooperZero Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 15 or so years ago when the history channel wasn't garbage they had a pic of some guy shooting one from the hip from under his long coat leaning against a white ford. there was even shorter ones than that, one had maybe a 4" barrel. I would totally do this if i found a used beater semi to sbr. Not dinking around with my 1928a1 sbr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyDixon Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 over the years ive seen several of these short barrel 28s and m1s. all worked fine, no difference, in fact back in the late 70s i machined a barrel for a guy but in those days a new in wrap g.i. barrel was 20.00 or so, so nothing new here just a new generation of shooters.

mnshooter Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Was thinking of doing just that with a GM barrel, and thread for a suppressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Apparently this is not a unique idea. Attached is a picture from a Small Arms Review story Dan Shea wrote in June 2005 titled, Taiwan Military Museum: the Armed Forces Museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
