giantpanda4 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I saw this gun quite a few years ago with it's previous owner. It is FAST. So fast that it didn't make it through a single stick mag without a jam. He quoted 2500 RPM, not sure of that but too fast for me. I believe this gun is what caused the current restriction at some of the shoots for using only non-modified Thompsons! Whats strange is the current owner can swap back all of the parts to the original configuration, he has not though. That might sell better. Just my $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattnh Posted January 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 2.5Krpm - wow - No wonder it outruns the magI though a closed-bolt micro-uzi was fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawk64 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Didn't speed bolts lead to cracked receivers?? Not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halftrack Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I kinda like it. Makes the Thompson more relevant for modern day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats strange is the current owner can swap back all of the parts to the original configuration, he has not though. That might sell better. Just my $0.02 I do remember seeing this at the show in Granville. It was fast, and jammed fast. And yes, it brought about the "unmodified only" guns in the shoots. While some think it has a modern cool factor, it did not work out as planned. Maybe someone can get it a a fair price and restore it to original configuration to look and run right.

DINK Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) The receiver has been cut for drums. That's going to be hard to restore. (Edit- never mind! The "M1" stamping got stuck in my feeble brain.) I'm still trying to figure out how the magazine catch works, since they lopped off most of the lever. There's no picture of the other side of it, though, so I imagine there's some sort of lever over there? Edited January 28, 2020 by DINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimcrew Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 IIRC, he was asking $18,500 for it around a year ago. I guess if it does not sell, hike up the price. Seems legit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it appears to have a military lower or other with numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
