My 1928A1 has some minor movement in the frame/receiver, but not rattle loose like an old worn out 1911 pistol. When disassembling/reassembling the two parts, they slide together like beautifully fit parts. There is a lot of machine work involved in the early Thompsons. These replica Thompsons with the 16in bbl. and fire semiauto from an closed bolt are considerably different from the old originals, even though they look the part. They have to be in order to make BATFE happy.
I understand that the quality of fit and finish has improved over what it was in the past. I remember seeing one many years ago at a gunshow, and was not impressed in the least. They are just a classy looking weapon. I fear that if I was to purchase one of the new semi models that I would have to pop for the Tax to make it into a SBR just so it's profile was correct. Keep us informed as to your discussions with Kahr CS on your findings. |

the one pictured is an auto ord/kahr not the same model as the one you have purchased , but i would think trigger frame and upper reciever are. I traded for it whiile working at one of the local pawn shops and it looked to be fired very little. I sold it to someone i knew and he brought it back with some feeding and failure to fire problems . once i test fired it and did some fitting on it and tweaked a few parts he has had no other problems with it, this one had a rather tight upper to lower fit. not sure when it was made ,but at least a year ago. this one seemed to be built rather well, it sure did not rattle.
