New addition to family-Thompson 1927A-1

[MoparMan]

Recently picked this up from a buddy in a trade. I know its not like the original's but i still thought it was a good additon.

Now i got to do some more research on them and look for some stick mags.

Any Thompson lovers out there?

Holy Cow that is sweeeeeeet. Would say you got the better end of the trade on that (even not knowing what you traded for it).

Had one of those back in the 80s but sold it. Fun to shoot but heavy and it was picky about ammo. Only liked round nosed 230s.

i picked up some stick magazines from sportsmans guide for $20 i think.just had to open up the hole in the back of the mag so they could lock up.never had any issues with them.

I bet you feel pretty bad arse firing that sucker from the hip like the gangsta's in the 20's and 30's.

I've always wanted one of those. That thing is awsome!

I owned the Pistol model A-5. When the drum is emptied, You have to hold the bolt back in one hand, depress the mag release with the second hand and then with your third hand slide the drum out. ( Mine was tight ). All this and a gun that jams makes a day at the range unsatisfying. "Generic" Thompsons look great but majority of them fail to cycle. Use the stick mags for ease of shooting and the drum for looks. I sold mine!

even though it's not milsurp, does that still fire from the open bolt? and isn't the thompson blowback operated? i'm just curious how those two characteristics affect accuracy, but i guess that's just the dork in me. i realize you don't buy a thompson for competitive shooting. i can't afford a thompson, but if i could i'd have one...so cool.
